Gun violence is being removed as a public health issue so the CDC can't track it. Simple as.

Looks like rich long pork is back on the menu, Mario brothers

Well, liberals are still pretty armed despite what many think

Sweet I’m a hardcore liberal and I hope they liberalize gun laws so I can defend America from this fascist bullshit with a lil more firepower

As am I, thankfully they're plenty liberal in the Arizona territory, ready to yippie ki-yay on anyone who threatens my lifestyle.

100% the moment the left starts organizing with arms, they will whiplash and attack 2A rights.

Buy two and bury one of them.

Why was it a public health issue? It's a public security issue.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because shooters probably aren't right in the head

Every rule has an exception.
