The Spin

This was a heinous attack on Idaho's firefighters and it's asked that everyone prays for their families. As people mourn during this difficult time and remain wary of the ongoing wildfire, respect should be paid for all those who commit their lives to the service of the American people.

This is yet another example of guns killing Americans. The list is too long to count – time and time again excuses are made for continued gun violence. Unfortunately, it comes as no surprise that the Trump administration will do little to nothing to solve this crisis at a national level, and more people will continue to needlessly die.

There's a 50% chance that the US murder rate will be at least 5.56 per 100k inhabitants in 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community
