agree. the problem is people are always told not to take the score as face value but they do. they have a tool but don't apply nuance towards it. Maybe we should not rely on the tool anymore is my point.

The purpose of a gun is murder. The fact guns are used for murder isn't a shocker.

The shocker is that half the government gets paid so much by the NRA that they're happy to make the yearly sacrifice of dozens of innocent people, often children, just to keep that paycheck.

If people were using firearms to fasten nails, now that'd be interesting.
