Does voting for guns mean we have to be ok with murder?

Yep. Every school kid gunned down is the result of "preserving our 2nd Amendment Rights."
Every mass shooter, every one, is because of American power fantasies involving guns.

So If I voted red then I am in favor of school shootings?

If you are voting for Republicans, then you're very okay with school shootings. Mass shootings. With guns being the #1 cause of death for children in the US.

Because that is the party that constantly blocks any gun law reform or update. The party that litereally says "thoughts and prayers" and then does absolutely NOTHING to stop it from happening again.

It's been going on for so long that you can't not know about it.

Well for some reason every study includes 18 and 19 year olds, who are not children AND the average gang member is 18. Interesting.

The source for this is the CDC, which groups ages 1 - 17 as children, and 18+ as an adult. Johns Hopkins collected the gun violence data into a nice infographic. You can read it here: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://publichealth.jhu.edu/sites/default/files/2024-09/2022-cgvs-gun-violence-in-the-united-states.pdf

In their introduction, they exclude 18-19 year olds from any data so they can be certain it focuses on chilren.

Thats horrible.

How would you go about changing gun laws to make America safer?

Australia is a fantastic model.

Can you elaborate?
