Roughly two people are shot and either wounded or killed in a road rage incident every day in America. It's the guns.
An 8-year-old boy was taken to the hospital in serious condition after being shot during a road rage incident:

^^^ Yes, that sucks.
It is a different variety of gun violence from school massacres or your garden variety guy who goes nuts on a Grocery store full of people or a church. Or for that matter the gang violence using firearms in urban and rural settings or cartels vying for control of territory.
The common theme is too many fucking people with a gun.
That number's gotta be extremely OFF and LOW. There's easily two road rage shootings a month in my city alone, not a massive city either, 275K people and rolling gun battles in the streets every other week. We need better data to really get to the horrific scope of this..Quote:

That's the 'official' number of wounded or killed in rage incidents, not the much larger number of incidents when a gun is fired or used to intimidate. Everyday thousands of people are menaced by guns, which is an epidemic of its own.
I've seen at least four incidents in the past 2 months where the news story said literally.. "case of suspected road rage". The number has got to be astronomically higher than 2 per day nationally. I suppose there have to be witnesses to confirm, but road rage is way out of control and way worse trending with the increasing number of handguns so called good guys carry and leave in cars.Quote:

Can’t drink. Can’t smoke. But hey incel grab an AR and let your raging hormones loose on your classmates.
If anyone is curious, go to Google and type in "suspected road rage". It'll shock you.
Funny, I feel like the anti gun stuff is fear driven and I feel just fine trusting my fellow citizens to own and carry guns and feel no need to either carry or ban guns to protect myself from them. Arm all the illegal immigrants for all I care.Quote:

Lovely night last night. Not sure why people think they need a gun for protection...

The data of how many people are killed by guns completely refutes your point.Quote:

As mentioned above, the myth that an armed society is a polite society is totally busted. I challenge anyone who believes otherwise to go google "suspected road rage". There's proof there that more guns increases crime, not the other way around.
There's no practical purpose far any civilian to have a .50 cal, period. They need to be included in the "guns civilians should never have" categoryQuote:

A common theme in consumer sentiment is anxiety. The aggressive messaging around fear has also helped define a newer crop of gun rights groups that increasingly overshadow the more deep-pocketed, but troubled, N.R.A. These groups, supported by the industry, have adopted a raw, in-your-face advocacy of near limitless freedom to own and carry firearms.
What a shithole you live in.Quote:

Probably something to research. Also a good reason to be armed.
I wouldn't call any of this debate.Quote:
