    Oh you’re right. It should be on milk cartons and on cereal boxes… " remember, don’t shoot anyone "

    Next we can deal with other tools… don’t cut people with knives intended for cooking, don’t close the door when someone has placed their fingers in the door hinge. Etc. but not shooting someone seems pretty important right now.

      How about you go and actually fix the problem? Ban guns, like most nations in the world, as this shit only happens in the US? Yes yes, Switzerland has more guns per person than the US! They also have much, MUCH stricter gun laws and they’ve shown to be responsible with guns, whereas US citizens have shown not being able to be responsible with a fork, let alone guns.

      So ban guns, problem solved.

      Don’t give me that " but muh rights" crap, those rights were penned down well over 200 years ago when “arms” were muskets that had a 5 minute reload time and then still could barely hit your own toes. Nobody imagined AR-15, or desert eagle type guns.

      Don’t give me the “bad guys will use guns” because it doesn’t make a difference. It is exceedingly rare that a “good guy™ with a gun” stops a bad guy, and if guns are off the streets, the vast majority of bad guys will have equal problems getting their hands on guns as well.

      Banning guns works everywhere, it will also work in the US and it has the added benefit of not being a band aid on an arterial bleeding and finally no longer making the US the worlds laughing stock

        My much order brother in law who just retired from being a mailman and who I believed to be relatively sane with just a touch of republicanism…he showed me recent pictures of him at a gun range 😞. He’s basically 70 years old. Like seriously?

        So I don’t know man, I have a ton of fun with very dangerous tools every weekend but never a gun unless it’s for staples. How do you go from mild mannered mail guy to hey look at me shooting stuff up. Oh and he got a big ass truck too. Gotta have both. Anyway off rant mode.
