    I’m not American, I’m Canadian. Talking about the statistics is important but holy fucking shit it’s depressing. Any more than 0 accidental deaths is too many.

      Got it. More depressing is that most of those gun deaths are not an accident.

      It’s something like 2%, the other 98% are people choosing to shoot other people.
