I agree both are a public safety issue, but there aren't many similarities beyond that. For one, most people guilty killing or seriously injuring someone with a gun intends to so cause that result while people who are guilty of killing or seriously injuring someone with a car are unaware of the danger they pose or aren't able to estimate how to react in a certain situation. Yes both need to be taken very serious, yes both are a big problem but their solution is very different. Although one more similarity which blows my mind is how unwilling American politicians are to keep more people alive.

I meant the answer to both questions is China

Edit: just reading other comments, it is apparently no true what i assumed.

A jury in Denver, Colorado, ordered Mr Lindell to pay $2.3m (£1.7m) to Eric Coomer, a former security and product strategy director at Dominion Voting Systems.

Lindell falsely accused Mr Coomer of helping to rig the 2020 vote, which was won by Joe Biden. During the two-week trial, Lindell stuck by baseless claims that the election was stolen from Donald Trump.

However crazy, i still expect him to win the lawsuit.

I was trying to say that. Seeing others puts a 'narrative' that is different from theirs in your own head, because you see with your own eyes. Everybody still needs to adress all incoming information, it's not always apparent it is a false story.

Intense violent changes are more suited for writing stories about than gradual non-violent changes. I'm not saying gradual non-violent changes is what US needs right now, but your statement is false and I think you should stop instigating violence in this thread.

5 million people are doing something, your comment is shitting on their effort.

there's also immense value is reminding people that they're not as singular in their viewpoint as they feel.

This destroys the narrative of the protested party. They cannot convincingly talk about 'a few misguided people disagreeing' when you see so many others who feel like you. Even if nothing would be achieved by the protest, this is an immensely powerful confirmation of an individuals beliefs. 100% agree.
