      Two points:

      • Can you unban abortion and harder drugs then please?
      • Gun/ammunition banning/control has been shown to drastically reduce mass murders and shootings. Similar to how needing a license to drive a car has dramatically increased road safety.

          You’re right as far as road fatalities weren’t systematically collected by the Yank government until 1960, 7 years after the last state made driving licences mandatory. But, we have material such as this 1930s Reader’s Digest on road accidents and safety, and if I thought you were much more than a troll I might see if anyone’s done an obituary analysis for the 1920s - 1950s on road deaths… But:

          Dis you?

      China banned many foreign services and made their own substitutes. What crime is being fueled? Bypassing the great firewall using VPNs is insignificant because most people are on the recommended domestic social media. This way China shut out most of enemy manipulation and propaganda, which is why I support the ban in the EU.
