Ex.: guns cause violence.

Guns clearly facilitate and amplify violence.

It’s a classic Dem. talking point.

It's a stat. It's as much a talking point as "the sun came up".

(And highly ironic that they say, “no one needs a gun, just call the cops!” out of one side of their mouth, and “police are the oppressors of the working class and are the enforcers of systemic racism!” out of the other.)

Not outside of home-room. Cops need oversight and better help to deal with stress and persecution issues when they pop up. Cops need to be absolutely fired if they exhibit a pattern of racism or other discrimination -- just like every other job, but with extra care because of the lethal force they can apply. This has been discussed. And wouldn't even be ironic, Alanis.

Right. Carry on.
