EDIT: Started writing before Enron's post, sorry.
The counter to this would likely be the suicide rate as previously mentioned, REGARDLESS OF THE CONCLUSION this separates suicides from homicides and shows them both if you're interested.

Also states the previously mentioned race disparity.
Personally, there definitely is merit to some of it in my opinion and should be addressed. For example: https://www.aclu.org/gallery/marijuana-arrests-numbers
When considering these numbers over the course of 10-20 years, it's easy to see how incarcerations for something useless like this would then contribute to that single parent households statistic posted earlier, which in turn could end up with children or young adults ending up as part of a statistic in the previous reply above.
But I'm going to stop being off topic now

@Enron
saw your post. Done.
VI looks awesome, Saskatoon not so much.
I'm waiting on his invitation. I wanna whip out my old Pokemon games and battle him while we toke some fresh Nunavut grown bud
Go join @Fr3sh in Nunavut. Them -60° Celsius days keep the Covid at bay.
Oh yeah, you have stabbings and beatings in countries like China and Japan. But it's nothing even close to the fatality rate. Mass stabbings can happen, but even when they do 90% of the people survive. Any guesses as to maybe why?
By your logic here, we should give all US citizens access to nuclear weapons for that matter. Or at least chemical weapons. I mean, a weapon is a weapon, right? They're going to use it anyway.
But nobody fears getting their face blown off at a gas station for no reason in those countries. America has made everyone unsafe, but it doesn't dare question why or why other countries would not be that way.
Yes, America was built on the violent overthrow of Native Americans and the violent enslavement of Africans (I'm going there) until they got the machines to do their dirty work. But I honestly think it's self-defeating for a nation to believe, "No, we will always kill each other with ever more deadly weapons. It cannot be stopped. So the answer is more deadly weapons."
What you're saying is true of most other nations on earth. And yet, most other nations on earth have 10% of the violent death rate.
We're also taking a false equivalence of harms though. The harm to a law-abiding citizen not getting access to a gun is what? Somehow much more harmful than someone's sister getting their face shot off at the 7-Eleven? How are those even close in terms of harm?
You seem to think there are border controls and walls between the U.S. states with required customs offices stationed at every connection point.
Damn right

You two can tag team an Eskimo hottie in an igloo on a polar bear fur rug.. 
They're called Inuit.
Gotta add that to my bucket list tho. But I'm going first @Fr3sh
Yeah. Inuit it is. I always forget that Eskimo is no longer an acceptable term.

The CFL team Edmonton Eskimos just changed their name. Apparently after the Redskins name had been dropped from the NFL team, they realized that they should probably change their name too. Lol

They held a music concert in Spain where 5000 people attended. All of them had to take a test before entering, measure temperature and wear a mask. No distance restrictions.
I wonder if an "option" to take a vaccine will turn into obligatory if you want to lead a normal life. It began with covid passports so if you want to travel you have to take one. I think we're at the beginning of "you have to if you want to...", so I expect such to happen for future concerts, cinema, schools, etc., or else society will turn their back on you.
