#2 So Guns are 15+ TIMES safer than Dr. F. CDC/NHI GRAIN OF FUNCTION Virus weaponization R&D labs.

Since their Wuhan lab leak killed what, 1.1 million and injured or crippled another 80+ million in under 2 years here in the US alone.

#4 Nice the whole story is in the headline: Pandemic management, plus crushing economy equals mental health woes and a jump in gun sales.

But not all of those were factors over the entire 30-years.

#7 Over 150 people die every day from overdoses related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl, says CDC.

Funny how the CDC's own statistics on fentanyl don't get the same publicity as their gun stats which would of course include the number of people killed in righteous self defense or law enforcement.

Let's see: 150 x 365 = 54750 deaths per year
so: 54750 x 30 = 1642500 deaths from fentanyl in 30 year if we keep going like we are with an unsecured border and no reprisals against Mexico or China for their roll in smuggling this poison into our country.

Bottom line: 1.6 > 1.1

So, yeah, before you get your panties all in a wad about guns, do something about the fucking border.
