The topic is about USian schoolkids advocating for something to be done about the seemingly incessant school shootings. Yes, more people die in car crashes. Yes, more people die of cancer, liver disease, insect stings, being run over by farm equipment, being hit on the head repeatedly with iron bars, and so on.Yup it's really a distraction just because more die to X then Y .Does not mean we should do nothing about Y
But bringing these up is not only off-topic, it dishonestly tries to make the case that since more people die from things that aren't school shootings, then nothing should be done about school shootings.
