This is really dumb.

People dying due to other things doesn't make needless mass shootings acceptable.

I love the responses

We're working to prevent medical errors.
We're working to prevent the flu.
We're working to prevent suicide.
We're working to prevent car accident.
We're doing fuck all about mass shootings.

Spot the difference, Neil.

The tweet is stupid. There are plenty of resources devoted to awareness and prevention of each of those things he mentioned. Mass shootings are largely ignored in terms of prevention efforts.

Best case scenario is that his point is "Why is the media only caring about Mass Shootings and not reporting other preventable causes of death?"

Worst case he is literally saying "Well people are gonna die anyway from other things so who cares about Mass Shootings?"

his point wasn't stated very delicately, but it is nonetheless a valid point. mass shootings are not the only crisis in America that is responsible for lives lost.


Was anyone claiming otherwise?

Sounds like he's basically saying "calm down," which is not the best way to deal with people reacting strongly to a terrible situation.

Literally hundreds of gun laws both on the national and state levels, with several introduced and passed yearly. The reason why people feel we do nothing is because the laws treat the symptoms, not the causes.

why is that what you think his point is? i really don't understand how anyone is getting anything like that, or that mass shootings are acceptable, from his tweet.

Then how come you and the users that are agreeing with the tweet seem unable or unwilling to say what his point is?
