    Meanwhile, over 500 people have been killed by police in 2023 so far, and yet we never hear the president comment on that. Maybe we should be disarming the police?

        Why? Lots of people have guns, and almost all of them are never a problem to anyone. Perhaps we should look into why violence happens and address those root causes and of course disarm the police because their only purpose is violence.

          I would agree if gun regulation wasn’t proven to work 8n every other country on the planet. With that mountain of evidence, maybe it’s time to stop with the what aboutism and pretending it isn’t part of the problem.

          Everyone having guns is the sole reason there’s so many police shootings. Nothing is going to change until the general population is unarmed.
