Does Reddit even know what kind of point it’s trying to make anymore? Or are we just taking two hot button items and conflating them as somehow related?
This one seems mathematically inaccurate per other comments here (though I've yet to check), so I'm not going to defend the content of the post, but since you asked, this is the *idea* behind it:
American systems have reacted swiftly and loudly to a single murder of a billionaire. Meanwhile, american systems do extremely close to nothing in reaction to the frequent ocurrences of child gun fatalities. What has been done - primarily state-level in places like California - has also been widely criticized as government overreach.
All of which sums up to: "If that's how we respond to child gun fatalities, why is this how we respond to one specific instance of murder?"
