More than 40,000 people killed in gun violence so far in 2023

Gun violence in the U.S. has taken an average of roughly 118 lives each day in 2023, according to data from Gun Violence Archive.

And about half of those were suicides

Been listening to a pretty interesting podcast called 'The Run Up'
Episodes about the mid terms and now some new episodes about the upcoming presidential nominations.
I have to say it's one of the best examples I've seen of journalism that asks hard questions of both Democrats and Republicans without the rancour that seems to characterize US politics these days.

So the pro gun camp aren't calling for more guns on the street to stop gun violence?

Probably, but more like side shifting the topic to push the cause of mental health issues. No ideas to fix mental health issues, just saying that it is mental health issues.

It's unlike them to have a dynamic and flexible approach to their argument.

but that also those mental health issues shouldn't stop those people having access to automatic rifles through background checks or cooling off periods.....

Supply chain issues.

No, they're firmly pushing the illegal immigrant, and non white 'murican angle.

Well, that and mental health. Anything but the access to guns.

We all know guns aren't the problem, people with too much melanin and guns are the problem. Fine Christian patriots with high capacity military weapons are the answer.

Texas bill would train third graders to use "battlefield" tourniquets

The bill, if voted on and passed this legislative session, would accompany multiple other school-related safety bills passed by Texas lawmakers.

China really doesn’t have to invade anything. It’s got plenty of things to do whilst waiting for the US to self destruct, and I’m not sure it will be waiting too long…

Giuliani selling pardons for $2m and splitting the money with Trump. Sounds like some juicy stuff will be surfacing if she has this recorded.

If he actually ran that ad, he would win all 50 states and might even get a third term.

More evidence for the “no, america is irretrievably broken” theory, YouTube threw some Jesse Lee Peterson videos at me. His schtick is that he interviews people who are way smarter than he is, asks them really dumb questions and when they look at him with a confused wtf look he thinks he got them in a gotcha moment.
Look him up on YouTube if you want to depress yourself… He’s a total maga moron.

It's already been done, and in a much smarter way...

And for comparison, interviewing someone on the other end of the intellectual scale.

What inherent racism?
