I don't think people are blaming forks for the weight gain, it's the whole e-bike.

We should ban guns - 19k US deaths last year (excluding suicide).
But first we should ban automobiles - 43k deaths in US last year.
This will do wonderful things for the bike industry.
Solved.
Letās go ride bikes and look for leprechaun flutes.

So, is it?
These ARE banned, don't you care about these kids? How's that working out?
If you actually took away alcohol, SSRI's, illegal drugs and opened back up the mental health institutes that progressives shut down, we probably wouldn't be blaming guns owners. As the saying goes guns don't kill only the person holding the one.

Matty, I thought you were going to jump in here bitching about WTF happened to your Wow thread, not jumping into the fire.
It wasn't just progressives that shut down the mental health institutes, it's was a slow and then sudden process in the 70s/80s that came about due to the ability to help a fair # of people in institutions vs just locking them up and also how horrible the institutions were for the patients. One of the most successful things that Reagan did for popularity was help close institutions.
Fentanyl death are like car deaths. It doesn't make the news and people don't see it unless it affects them directly with a friend/neighbor/relative/etc. Yet the #s are so huge and have a huge affect on society.

So a few years ago I switched to a vegetarian diet to tackle my cholesterol and it really helped. My take on tofu and seitan is that itās awesome. I feel empowered to be fueled by Soylent Green & Satan.

Did you go cold Turkey (no pun intended) off the meat or slow roll it? And changes in energy or other side affects?
Said no one ever.

Jumped into the deep-end with both feet!
There is a learning curve and it takes time/repetitions to find what you like and how to cook it. I've got a dozen or so I can just pull out of my head (shopping or cooking). Most recently added a tofu hotdog recipe. Yes. Those gut bombs will kill you, but we all had them growing up. Now we can scratch that itch!

Just to add a little depth...how many of those gun deaths were due to school shootings? Don't get me wrong, 1 dead kid is too many. Heck, 1 wounded kid is too many, but when a gun debate jumps immediately to school shootings and saving kids' lives it feels like somebody it trying to take a shortcut to win a keyboard fight. How many kids are killed by drugs, stabbings, gang related crimes and indirectly piss poor education that leads them to very wrong life choices.

To be honest, I donāt want to ban guns or cars. I am a two time victim of gun violence, one at work and once in my personal life - both perpetrators did not acquire the gun legally. I had a minor hunting accident with a moron in college as well and took some bird shot to the arm - I do believe in training for firearms as well as a background check - and FBI background checks are required in all 50 States so letās not note the āguns show loop-holeā BS.
The sad part about firearms is they remind people of an awful truth - at the end of the day we are animals. While guns can be used for target shooting and plain old collecting (without shooting), we see guns daily on television portrayed in either a survival or hunting scenario. This is uncomfortable for some and God Bless them.
IMHO banning guns is a simple bait and switch by politicians to make it feel like āthey are saving livesā as well as their biggest fear and what the 2nd Amendment was put in place for in the first place - protect tyranny.
If it is really about saving lives, I already mentioned banning cars - which would lead to double the lives saved - of course both of these examples is stating people (who Joe Rogan once noted are really good at inventing/improving things and that is our purpose) would not just figure out another way of violence or travel.
But if it is really about saving lives - how about making us more healthy? Ban the following:
- Alcohol
- Tobacco and related
- Sugar
- Junk food
Get the point?
It would crash the economy and really make people want to reach for guns to prevent an over-controlling government. Not to mention the corporate donors would cut the politicians off real fast. But it would save lives.
My medical coverage is through the roof because I am subsidizing someone that drinks five liters of soda a day loaded with a bottle of jack, while driving their car smoking darts to buy fast food on food stamps.
Here are the stats - remember - guns (not including suicide) account for less than 20k lives.
If it is about saving lives - there is lower hanging fruit.
Donāt get me started on electric cars being run off coal power plants.
