I would find value in hearing why an intelligent person rolls their eyes instead of feeling righteous indignation.

It's really, really hard for me to understand why gun violence doesn't make you feel indignation, righteous or otherwise.

But right now, I am willing to listen.

I guess all the other preventable deaths - suicide, highway accidents, obesity. That we do little or nothing about - they've been unchanged or growing for decades.

Per the CDC:

>Excessive alcohol use was responsible for more than 140,000 deaths in the United States each year

Firearm deaths don't even break 5 digits.
