    One CEO died from one private health insurance company, and this CEO wasn’t even a top earner compared to the CEOs of other health insurance companies.

    So…

    • Did the death of this CEO make America consider free healthcare coverage?

    • Did the price for healthcare drop drastically after the CEO was killed?

    • Did any healthcare company get dismantled after the shooting?

    • Did any CEO from any of these healthcare companies get arrested for literally messing with people’s lives?

    • Did anything at all even happen to the healthcare company of the CEO that got shot, or is it still around?

    Shooting that CEO may have been justice… Or at least karma, but let’s not pretend it actually “solved” America’s healthcare crisis. This’ll have a few people in certain high places shit bricks for a minute, but in about a month nobody will be talking about this anymore and then it’s business as usual.

    As for Americans stroking their 2nd amendment, you’d be amazed to learn that you can also get a pistol over here in Europe if you know where to look. But considering this CEO was just sort of standing by himself on the side of the street, he could’ve been stabbed to death if it were Europe. But let’s talk about your guns.

    So…

    • Did the one CEO getting shot somehow flip the ratio of mass murders/school shootings versus people getting shot who deserved it in America?

    • Did this shooting instigate the murder of other deserving CEOs, like all the memes seem to encourage?

    • Did the shooting instigate an armed revolution, even a small one, that justifies the idea of owning a gun to fight oppression?

    Doesn’t seem like one guy getting shot changed much, or that specifically getting shot with a gun has any significant meaning for guns, considering the circumstance of the murder. The kind of person who owns enough guns and ammunition to actually start a revolution of some kind (as many 2a supporters keep telling me what the 2a is supposed to stand for) is a fat, middle aged racist redneck, who calls himself a “proud boy” (with no self awareness whatsoever), measures his masculinity with the weapons he owns, and probably voted for Trump.
