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?

    Your daughter, against all logic and reason

    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.
