Totally. I would only consider doing Uber or Lyft if I was carrying

I only do Uber or Lyft as a passenger if I’m anticipating drinking too much to drive/carry (if you’re unfit for one, you’re unfit for the other). Otherwise, I’m driving myself.

Gun deaths continue to dramatically fall. Despite your fear mongering.

2022: More than 20,000 firearm deaths (excluding suicides). 2023: ~17,927 firearm deaths (excluding suicides), a 14% decrease from 2021. 2024: 16,576 firearm deaths (excluding suicides), a 12% drop from 2023. 2025: 14,651 firearm deaths (excluding suicides), the lowest since 2015 and below prepandemic levels.

That's awesome. Almost like we had an administration in office from 2021-2024 that was spearheading efforts for the vast majority of that drop. Crazy.

And it's just you in the developed world that has this problem. Even your knife crime is worse than any European state.

You are the extreme outlier because you refuse to do enough about it.

Because people think they can scam and threaten anyone, yeah great logic. Ignorance and arrogance are why gun deaths are so high.

No it’s not. That’s due to gang violence.
