I often determine fixes to problems by ignoring the underlying causes

Access to guns is absolutely an underlying cause. There are plenty more like lack of access to proper healthcare and a broken public school system but hey good thing we can tackle multiple problems at once!

I didn't know we can tackle multiple problems at once, that's freakin' great

Let's start with healthcare and the justice system, and then see if gun control's still a problem after that

I think we have extensive proof that statistics are whatever you want them to be so if you want to say Nerses is retarded due to asbestos congratulations, the statistics support you.

The D&D special. War through attrition.

The way to do it is to never give up and win by default when people quit arguing with you. It doesn't matter if we are arguing about the specifics of the technical semantics of a tangent of a derail and they are trying to pretend that gun deaths don't matter to a gun death statistic when it doesn't even matter to this pointless argument as it would make America #3 instead of #4 on the list which still disproves their initial assertion.

Obviously for this strategy to work it helps if you are unemployed

all of that was just hypotheticals in the context of a tyrannical government using drones against their own population though???

like if I said "poo poo yeah I'd shoot hitler if he was still alive" would you report me to the police for conspiracy to murder???

politicians’ families are Hitler now

I mean I’m not an expert on the revolutionary war, but maybe the founders did intend to enshrine the right to terrorism, maybe some war crimes for spice. How many colonial governors’ families did GW order killed?
