I’m showing the absurdity of removing essential freedoms to save a statistically insignificant amount of lives. You’d be better off banning cars and forcing people to ride bicycles and trains. More lives would be saved, if that’s truly your goal.
so what's the number of innocent children, students, church- movie- and concert-goers you'd be willing to sacrifice before you start considering that something has to happen, that something has to significantly change? 100k? 500k? more?
btw, that moronic car analogy is fundamentally flawed. just because there are things that kill more people doesn't mean you should just dismiss a certain issue. maybe google 'relative privation'. also, cars aren't even in the same category, they are absolutely vital for our societies, unlike guns their primary function is NOT to inflict damage or kill, and car manufacturers as well as taxpayers spend billions each year to make traffic as safe as possible and prevent human losses. by your fallacious logic we might as well stop researching cancer cures because more people die from heart diseases...
it never ceases to amaze me that people still consider this a valid point...
