New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency public health order temporarily suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque and surrounding Bernalillo County.
US has a gun problem. It isn’t really news. Unfortunately guns are ingrained into US culture and people will defend their right for guns against all common sense.
So US is what, in the top 20? If you filter for developed countries, US is firmly #1. There is certainly room for improvement. Having easy access to devices designed to kill people is just madness to me.
Why don’t you check out the data and directly refer to that early than making more bad guesses?
The original intent of a thing is entirely irrelevant to what a thing is used for. The sheer number of things in use in day-to-day life in ways far beyond original intent is mind-boggling. And then there’s the flip-side, the logical extension of such an absurd focus precludes assigning actual blame for use of a thing in the way it was designed.
I’m not sure how you define easy, but requiring a background check is more than sufficient barrier for me. Then again, I’m not pants-shittingly terrified of inanimate objects.
The data is plain and irrefutable. What use is open or concealed carry other than the intent to kill a threat. Who is the terrified one that needs either?

As it is, you’re showing you don’t care at all about homicide - only that the specific implement is a firearm.
