    free publicly accessible classes on gun safety and massive funding for mental health services then you’d be able to make the connection between gun control laws and an effort to lower child mortality.

    You mean what used to be taught in high schools? But slowly over time was removed from every school in the whole nation?

    We had archery in our high school. Years prior to mine had classes on guns… Years after mine, not even archery.

      I can’t help but notice that you are simply making the argument that we’ve done it wrong before, therefore I want it done wrong again.

      Okay, sure. What a strong case you made. You win, or whatever.

        No, and clearly you didn’t bother to read. My point was that WE DID do public education on the matter. For some reason we decided to stop doing it. And now people like you are claiming that we should be freely and publicly conducting classes.

        I made no case for anything other than outlining that we used to teach this shit in schools.

        Clearly schools have failed to teach you reading comprehension.
