Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    What new risks? You haven’t mentioned any new risks, and you certainly haven’t put forward any evidence that those risks are changing the ratio of gun suicides to all other gun deaths. You just got feelings and vibes that something is happening without any data to back it up. Meanwhile data trends show that the ratio of gun suicides to all other gun deaths is actually went up last year, which is a complete refutation of your point.

    If you can’t defend your argument with anything more than “feelings” then there is no point to discuss further, as your only tactic in this conversation is on par with brainless maga trolls.

    To put it simply for you… Show metrics supporting your argument that there are new risks which is lowering the ratio of gun suicides to all other gun deaths (which is the exact argument you made), or admit that your position is incorrect.

      Ok, at this point I’ve explained the hell out of my point and can only conclude you are a troll. You’ve made 0 effort to figure out what I am saying, so clearly the strawman you started with is the hill you want to go to die on.

      The fact you call this conversation “on par with brainless maga trolls” is more evidence you just intended to rile me up while completely knowing exactly what threat I am talking about as people are being disappeared off of streets and hate crimes are being covered up. Clearly people should wait for the historians to have a perspective on this as the regime increasingly cancels studies on societal problems.

      I don’t have the energy for that.
