I reread your post. It was the same as the first time I read it. It said "Always love how people throw out "gun violence" (as if there is such a thing) is so distinguishable that it should be focused on above "violence"."
Based on the bit I emphasized, you are implying "gun violence" is not a real concept, or doesn't exist, or something along those lines. Gun violence is real.
Further, OP is clearly not commenting on the prevalence of gun violence vs other violence. OP is commenting on things more likely to cause damage than a meteor strike.
- JoeAltmaier 14y agoWe don't call out 'knife violence' or 'fist violence' or 'cricket-bat violence'. All are real too.
- arjie 14y agoWell, I suppose it depends on the relative frequency of the crimes. British newspapers are always on about 'knife crime'.
- kamjam 14y agoThat's because in the UK knife violence is a much bigger than gun crime. Having said that, drunken violence on a friday/saturday night is a big problem regardless.
