This is the type of cool headed debate we need to be coming to the table with. If we can get both sides of the aisle to start talking about specific ideas to address the root issues we can make progress and move past the "ban all guns!" , "From my cold dead hands!" Rhetoric.

Look up how many times a gun saves a life.

Compared to how many lives that one has been taken? Between 2012-2017 according to http://gunviolencearchive.org there have been 56,759 deaths at the end of a bullet, so I think to say that "guns saves lives" as a reason for holding on to the current laws, is a bit of a blinkered view.

Good thing children have never accidentally shot themselves or a sibling for that matter. Good thing that, that has never happened and never will happen. It is so far from the realm of possibility of ever occurring, would be crazy to even suggest.

Good thing children dont eat household cleaners like tide pods.

Mashable is not a reliable news source. There is no quantitative data. Also if millions of children ate tide pods, hospitals will be overflowing with sick people. Which, of course, didn't happen. Y'all have to let this false stigma go
