       @flexghost So here's my question...If we've had 13,510 gun deaths so far in 2023....Where's that put us in comparison to gun deaths in Ukraine so far in 2023?Well, with a full on war raging, so far in 2023 there are reported 8,574 civilians dead.So its safer to live in a war zone than America?WTF.#GunControl

       @zleap @Sunny @flexghost I was thinking recently about how in the 90s the slang "going postal" blew up. Then I learned that from 1983 to 1999, 35 people died in 11 post-office shootings. Averaging ~2 people a year and less than a shooting a year. Back then, that was enough to get into the language we used....these days, it's a Tuesday.
