The advisory issued by Dr. Vivek Murthy came as the U.S. grappled with another summer weekend marked by deadly mass shootings.

    I read a headline yesterday that a toddler has been injured by firearms every day for the last two years in the US. But abortion is the problem. As an 80s kid, no disrespect, but guns are gay.

      80s kid or not, sometimes we need to update the terms we use.

        Intentional because 2nd amendment types don’t like their masculinity questioned. There should be shirts.

          That just sounds like an advertisement for the armed gay agenda…

      I thought the headline was that there was a toddler shooting someone every two weeks. Although from what I read, that headline was a bit incorrect.

        Either way that goes the point is the same. You are probably correct but I’m too lazy to check ;)

          Technically correct is the best correct.

      toddler has injured themselves with a firearm every day for the last two years

      Should really take the gun away from that dude and teach him the difference between plural and singular 🤔
