Donald I, emperor of the world.

People cheered over JFK and Dr King's assassinations. Both completely innocent and unwarranted deaths, as was Kirk's. This is not some sort of failure of the left. We need to start highlighting our failures on both sides otherwise there will never be middle ground or understanding, just division and that leads to more hatred, death and misery.

When people with limited imagination stop thinking of lefties and righties as two amorphous but nevertheless diametrically opposed groups there might be a chance.

It’s far easier to ban guns than hope to change people’s attitudes.
There will always be a tiny minority of wrong’uns on both sides. Giving them access to guns makes it too easy for them to kill.
There is a reason why the country with the most guns has the highest death rates.

If this is accurate, it's fairly stark.

Wow. More guns equals more deaths.
Who would guess that?
Surely just tell people to be more responsible?

Got to say there is very little that makes me proud of UK these days. But this is definitely one

You only have to look at some of the gun channels on YouTube to see the range and number of guns held by some Americans. For example, Matt Carragher of Demolition Ranch had at one time a small arsenal. Whilst he has now sold a large number of them as he was closing down his channel, I would expect those he has retained to be still well into double figures.

(This video is from 2021 but he accumulated further guns until he closed his channel earlier this year)

He may be an extreme example as to the numbers he personally held, but when he sold his guns they were unlikely to go to people/families who were already gunless.

Road deaths too. Still too high, but 7th in world terms, and best of the large nations.

Back to gun deaths, and I still remember the stark figure of more Americans having been killed by guns in the first 35 *days* of one year by US police than Britons killed by British Police with guns in 35 *years*. And you'd have hoped they'd have been the 'good guys with the guns'. The utter blindness to brutal statistics is literally incredible.
