With different skins. There'll be a pokemon skin, a lego skin, a paw patrol skin ... The market is endless, and most importantly, untapped.

Yeah but if those children had guns to protect themselves from the guns then it would have been 0.
Checkmate libruls
How many of those were gang members under 18?
There are 74 million children aged 0-18 in the USA. Going by your numbers, that means in 2021 that 99.99999% of children in the USA were not harmed by guns.
I know your number is a hyperbole, the real percent given the numbers in the thread is ~99.994%, or 14999/15000 unharmed, which, most supporters wouldn't bat an eye at anyway

whataboutism is a common tactic for conservatives. instead of using it to condemn an action they use it to excuse it. their double standards have become so apparent that it doesn't trigger any sort of cognitive dissonance when a Democrat is condemned for doing something a Republican already did. any sane person could make the argument "aren't they both bad then?" and it will go completely unheard.
But then how will we enjoy having debates if we all shut up and actually solve problems?
I’d also like them to, but the strategy isn’t meant to be helpful. Idk the rhetoric term but it diffuses the orig argument & attempts to distract. responding to it is pointless 🤷♂️
It's literally a tactic used by children when they're being reprimanded. If you ever come across an "adult" that argues that way, tell them to sit back while the adults talk.
... er.... the only thing stopping an AmericaBad-with-a-gun is an AmericaGood-with-a-gun...?
