    But we are currently experiencing an epidemic of violence, just mass shootings targeting proles and children.

    I’m saying of that is going to continue with no effort by the power to stop it, it might as well start targeting power and we should encourage ot targeting power.

      Available data contradicts your claim: violent crime rates in the USA have decreased since the 1990s. You may HEAR about them more, but statistically you are safer now than you were 30 years ago in the USA. I think there’s more mass media and TikTok, so the news spreads further, but we are NOT in the middle of an epidemic, unless you consider it a 30 year one that started prior to 1990.
