Filling my "bullshit gun lobby talking points" bingo card right up "More guns than people" nobody said shit about the number of guns sitting around unused. Every aspect of the statistic I quotes reflects an actual use of a firearm, with a 22:1 ratio of bad uses for every good use "If firearms were the problem, everyone would be dead" Everybody isn't dead, hence guns don't present a problem for the 117K people shot in the US every year (35% of which die), got it "Now one third of kids are medicated and have ADHD and depression." Number one cause of death for kids 5-14 in the US is a firearm (third year in a row), but TIL kids on medication for their ADHD are the real problem and the reason adults are shooting themselves and each other. Ok.

"For every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9715182/
