I really hate to 'set people up' against each other about guns for example but I want people to think about this and hopefully contribute just the slightest in 'solving' the issue and maybe saving a life.. I know it's a long shot but it's sooo frustrating to see all unnecessary deaths against mostly vulnerable groups of people while I can't do a thing about it...
I don't want to look away, that doesn't solve a thing so maybe I can set a switch in someones head who can do something about it..
Priorities - to save the most lives...
1. Stop eating meat. More individuals are killed for food than for any other reason. In the US eating meat causes more premature deaths than any other cause. This causes billions of animal deaths and millions of human deaths each year.
2. Wear a respirator and encourage others to wear a respirator. A respirator protects against many deadly respiratory viruses as well as from COVID-19. It is much more risky to go our in public without a properly worn respirator than it is to drive without a seatbelt.
3. Stop drinking alcohol and encourage others not to drink alcohol. It kills many more people than guns do.
4. Don't try drugs that can cause overdoses, like opiates.
5. Eat a healthy diet. Avoid carcinogens like tobacco, meat, and acryramide (from cooked starches like potatoes and toast).
6. Slow down when you drive.
These are where most of the premature deaths come from. Guns are way down the list, but those who run things and control the media want people to believe that guns are a huge problem so they can distract people from the real problems in society.
A child today will most likely suffer a premature death in their lifetime from obesity, diabetes or cancer caused by a poor diet than from any other cause.
@Pat @stux uh…..firearms are now the number one cause of death in children ages 1-19 in the US. Not way down the list at all.
