That’s not a reasonable position. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, its interpretation, and the monied interests lobbying with millions of dollars to make billions selling firearms are endemic to the socio-political quagmire that is American politics.
There’s that, but there’s also drug overdoses, traffic fatalities, health issues, suicide, violent crime…
The US is a dangerous place in many ways, it would seem.
Yeah but we’ve had all that for all the previous generations… Those are precedented

Fixing those two would go a long way towards changing the death rate.
Well, there’s that, and also
Also walkable cities.
Agreed about the Healthcare, but the guns are just a symptom

🤦
I agree but drug overdoses, health issues, suicide could all be mitigated by universal healthcare
