Fact check - grandma lies. The rifle number is from 2018, and in 2020, rifle death were 455. Meanwhile, the 2,167 number is from the CDC report that spans 15 years. AP News, 2022
like always, grandma is full of shit and proud of it
constipation is a late symptom of various forms of alcohol and drug use, so it's the occasional straw that breaks the camel and i guess could be listed as the cause when it's the most literal last thing that occurred even if there are several other issues which were waiting in the wings to take them down anyway
It is kinda nuts that all the focus of gun laws are on rifles, when pistols are used in the VAST majority of gun deaths.
Killing someone with a rifle takes some thought, because you normally have to go home and get it then go find the person. Plenty of time to realize "this is a bad idea"
But pistol in your waist or car makes it easy for a snap decision
2023, the latest year for which I could find data, had 511 deaths specifically attributed to rifles, and 5,300 not attributed to any specific type, of which some were probably rifles. We don’t know what year grandma is using though.
Estimates for deaths from complications of constipation hover around 500/year as well.
Our dearest grandmama fails on all three counts of her argument. Incorrect and unattributed data, and , even if she were “correct” that only liberals ( who incidentally believe and are willing to pay for modern healthcare) are the only ones suffering from deadly fecal complications ( unlikely, I know …), would still not have won her “point”.
Yes, I wrote this for giggles, but it just highlights how easy it is for Russian grandmama, herself chock full of shit, to fire off random memes at 1000 times the rate that anyone can factcheck them. This veritable plague of disinformational diarrhea is drowning us all.
I've already seen people conservatives making x, y, z claims and when asked for a source will seriously, unironically, say "go listen to Trump's speech." You could hear the laughter in response from here to Papua New Guinea.
Those numbers are way lower than the actual amount of gun deaths, but nonetheless: is your precious jerkoff fantasy of mad maxxing it in the apocalypse against a tyrannical government (and totally not the one that’s on your side) really worth all those lives? Even a single life? How many people are you willing to throw away for a fantasy? And a good portion of those are under-18s. Guarantee you the person who made this is also “pro-life”, but only until they’re born.

Don't forget Canada exists, she probably didn't know what country the post was about when she spread it.
Still, 144 people a year (on average) dying of constipation is more than I'd guess

Sadly explaining this context to grandma won’t change her mind. Grandma wants to live in the reality where the lie are the truth.
Grandma is CLOSE to a point she will never admit.

Australia just proved this to be correct
It supports grandmas bs to focus on the wrong things.
Aren't rifles more commonly used on hunting than anything? Thus why you can actually find some outside of the US?
Sadly diarrhea kills more than both. Since USAID has been stopped so many kids have died
Like sure, we should all be eating more fiber for several reasons, we should be funding USAID, and we should also be working on gun control policy.
We can try to decrease death along multiple fronts, gams.
Is this a Charlie Kirk joke?
Grandma with the false dichotomy again. You can have both health care and well regulated gun laws.

I don't know what kind of bowel movements grandma has, but mine have never killed an innocent bystander.
"Liberals are full of shit now excuse me I'm going to continue to take whatever Trump says at face value"

Does that mean those absolutely preventable gun deaths are acceptable?

Curious that you didn’t include pistols.
Guess what is the largest cause of death in children.
