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.
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.

Claiming that anyone believes "nothing should be done about school shootings" is every bit as dishonest. In fact, it is more so. You employ your 'opinion' in an attempt to discredit a position for which you have been incapable of producing a valid rebuttal to; in effect, a not-so-subtle ad hominem attack/false accusation. A false accusation that is easily disproved by merely reading through the thread. No one has come even close to suggesting what you claim. A person of integrity would acknowledge such, issue an apology and correct oneself. Ego permitting.
