    'Neil deGrasse Tyson
    @neiltyson Aug 4, 2019
    In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
    On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
    500 to Medical errors
    300 to the Flu
    250 to Suicide
    200 to Car Accidents
    40 to Homicide via Handgun'

    I never understood that kind of, "Yea but..."

    Are you justifying mass shooting because people also die of other things?

    Are you ignoring all those other more serious problems (not even counting innumerable others) because gun homicide is a tiny percent of the others? Clearly, you have some sort of psychological gun fixation.

    And that's without having mentioned yet that medical errors, flu, suicide, and car accidents are utterly unable to check a tyrannical state.
