I’m new to Lemmy, and trying to get a gauge on the community. Unfortunately, it seems that it’s just gonna be another heavily left wing website, but hoping that the smaller pockets of users will be reasonable.

What are the issues that the Conservative community here cars about most?

    Do I have to be the biggest gun guy to respect the constitution?

    I’m not the biggest protestor, but I’m for everyones right to protest, see how that works?

    Your daughter, against all logic and reason, is ‘scared to death’ of going into one of the safest places in the world. You’re the adult, you should at least see logic and reason, but instead you seem to foster an environment against that, and once you’re challenged you don’t have an argument back.

    If you don’t want to respond to a comment, why reply?

        Your response attempted to attack my character, and despite that I responded to you.

        Do you have a response to my argument or you just want to say I lied and use all the ‘same bs arguments’ (that somehow you can’t argue against??) as the ‘rest of the gun nuts’ (anyone that doesn’t want to ban guns is a gun nut??)

        I’m fully content with myself and my life, I don’t like you replying to comments with 0 valuable input just to call people lying gun nuts.

      Firearm deaths are now the number one cause of death for children in the U.S., and this problem is unique to the U.S.

      It’s well within reason to be scared of it.

      The sound of children screaming has been removed

        Because the statistics you’re using counts 18 and 19 year olds as children despite other death statistics properly including excluding 18 and 19 year olds in children deaths.

        It’s well within reason to be scared of it.

        Once again, it’s not. Is it within reason to be scared to death to take a car ride to school? The chances of dying in a car crash is much much much much much more likely than dying in a school shooting.

        I think the reason your child is scared ‘to death’ of dying in a school shooting is because of your fears. Please don’t pass your unreasonable fears to your children.

          X to doubt

          Not anymore. Firearm deaths have surpassed motor vehicle deaths.

            You misread my statement. Are you claiming that school shootings cause more deaths than vehicle accidents?

            Source please.

                Okay, that’s firearm related injuries.

                What about Mass school shooting deaths?

                Come on man, at least argue in good faith. This is very simple.

                  Yup

                  What about Mass school shooting deaths?

                  Also up. And not all school shootings are mass shootings.

                  https://www.statista.com/chart/19982/number-of-us-k-12-school-shootings-per-decade/

                  Come on man, at least argue in good faith. This is very simple.

                  I am. Not sure why you care about the distinction between how a gun killed a child. In any case a child is dead which would seemingly be a disgrace to our nation. In either case it’s another child dead which makes all other children scared as is reasonable.

                    The comment I was responding to said his daughter was scared to death to go to school because of school shootings.

                    Hence me saying that’s an absurd fear to have, as the chances of that are extremely extremely so extremely small.

                    Hence the comparison between dying in a car accident on the way to school, being much much much much much much much much more likely than dying in a school shooting.

                    You pulling up all firearm related injuries is completely irrelevant.
