      -Can’t handle the truth? Guns are the number one child killer in the USA, it’s the only country where it’s the case.

      And cars are just getting safer and safer, can you say the same about guns? Oh no, you can’t, because killing is their purpose.

        Which is largely irrelevant; try comparing our rates of child death by violence overall to other countries. I think you’ll be surprised at how the US stacks up.

          It’s not irrelevant to what I was saying in the first place, that it’s more likely than anywhere else in the world that you would need to explain to parents why their child got killed by a gun yet nothing is done to remove guns from people’s hands.

            So you add hyperbole to hyperbole? Interesting. I hadn’t realized I was talking with such a deeply unserious troll. Fair enough, I expected nothing less.
