Are shootings not a fact of life?
People hiding behind a certainty of their own moral superiority are stooping to twisting people’s words to make their point?
Maybe just for one day, resist any dunks that require distortion of the facts of what people said. See how far your worldview goes when you constrain yourself to telling the truth.

But they are not a daily occurrence in any civilized country.
In my 30+ years I have never even seen an actual gun, let alone be shot at. The perks of living in a civil society.
