Americans don't care about mass shootings. Why would this be an issue?
Ahem, here in Canada we do.
America is a big place.
They need cars killing children to make the shootings deaths look less significant in the grand scheme of things.
Edit:here is a link to a CHILDREN'S book about why everyone needs an AR-15. it also includes a section about gun deaths are irrelevant because car deaths, as read by this youtuber around the 10:15 mark. I couldn't find an online source with the full book.
That’s a vanity-published book (note the lack of publisher information) by a local politician from Idaho, not something kids in every school across the country are going to have in their library. Shit, I bet most kids in his district don’t have it in their library. It was made purely for attention grabbing.
Doesn't change the facts that a) it exists b) some parents will read it seriously to their children c) it still contains the gun deaths don't matter because cars arguement.
