Gun violence isn't only about murders.
There's no sword violence epidemic.
Go tell people in third world countries or first Nations that guns have made their life safer than any other time in history and see what they have to say about that.
And yeah, a drug themed motherboard would be fucking offensive, what an idiotic question!
Notice that I didn't say it was.
Historically there is and statistically gun violence is lower now than ever before hence no epidemic. It's just what you see most on the news because that's how they hold your attention and make their money.
They'd agree.
How? You don't have to buy it. I'm sure you own some shit other people find offensive, what of it?

Highest since the early 1990s, doesn't sound like it's lower than ever before to me, right?
A downward trend is still downward, you're making mountains of molehills that are actively being graded back down to level.
