You can't technically downvote, but you can morally do so by clicking 'flag'. Many of your fellow users did so, and your desired effect would have happened a bit sooner had you joined them.

Making a fine substantive counterpoint, as you did, is excellent too!

Ah, yes, flag it because heavens forbid anyone on HN discusses gun violence!

I didn't say that it ought to be flagged, only what the effect would be.

As far as HN goes, the limits of discussion are primarily about what's on-topic, but also about what the community is capable of discussing without rupturing blood vessels or having fist fights break out in Parliament.
