Protester appears to fire gun at ICE agents near Camarillo

Heads up that stat is disingenuous. It was taken during covid (which contributed to a decline in the true cause, auto fatalities), included "children ages 0-19" (some of which are decidedly not legally children), and only took place in a few major cities (IIRC NYC, LA, CHI, BAL, and one or two more I can't recall because it's been 5+yr,) all cities known for their gang problems. Gangs which often ensnare kids as young as elementary school to deliver packages, but it usually starts to get more violent at ~15-18. Most of the kids shot were involved in that life, which is still a problem yes, but it's usually spun as if 5yos are mostly dying from school shootings, which simply isn't the case and the methodology was flawed to give that false impression. If they'd have done it with a wider sample it likely would have still been car crashes even then, and it's certainly back by now.

You're misreading my frustration. There's lots of people in the same boat as you. It's a categorical fact that the right wing has been fostering a culture of gun ownership being American and a direct FU to the libtards. It's a categorical fact they have the guns and most people who have been eating up the Democratic party slop for the past decade probably doesn't own guns and wouldn't know how to use them in any meaningful way against a group that has shaped their whole personality around being armed.
