There are many factors, of course, that can not be summed up with the magic word "ACCESS".
It kind of depends. Not being a one-issue voter, I look at lots of things. I don't understand the rationale for being a one-issue type of voter. Seems extremely lazy and ignorant to me. If only one issue has any effect on your life, share your secret. You agreed with everything the people you vote for say or do? That is unbelievable or sheeplike.
That sounds like bull because you didn't like the answer you got. Some of the people I have voted for support stronger gun control and some don't.You've done that several times now when discussing topics and your contractions have been bought to your attention. It's a way for you to move the goalpost and change the subject. We are in a thread on gun contrrol after all
Jesus Christ.creating fear about Trans kids the way Republicans do.
Our standard of living in America is higher than Europe. If the poor in America were a nation, they would rank among the world's richest.

Did you not bring up income inequality?I'm not sure what you are trying to refute with that?
Oh, look, there are your words.No you are right, income inequality also probably plays a huge part in this
I'm all for effective, fair gun control.Gun control ranks very high.
You should read the links in your own post. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articl...he results showed a significant,CI: 1.61–2.34).You should be asking yourself if single moms, god not in schools, and violent movies are contributing factors.
Everyone has an opinion.But on just about every topic of importance today, Democrats have a better policy positions than Republicans

I'm not sure what you are trying to refute with that? I gave you an nih study. You can find others as well.
Also, America has all time high levels of income inequality. Comparable to those LATAM countries if not higher.
You should be asking yourself if single moms, god not in schools, and violent movies are contributing factors. Why does Europe have such vastly different outcomes?

If you didn't understand my answer look up what a one-issue voter is.
Jesus Christ.
Blah,blah, blah, wah, wah, wah.
You haven't said how the report is wrong exactly, or why you think that other than it being from the right.Well this is not a government institute and the way it presents data is flawed. The FEE is a libertarian right-wing organisation that also publishes content on social media heavily leaning towards the conservative perspective on economic. FEE, founded in 1946, is considered the oldest free-market think tank in the United States. An early aim was to roll back policies of the New Deal. FEE opposed the Marshall Plan, Social Security and minimum wages, among other American social and economic policies.

Their take is misleading. From the report:
The OECD’s poverty rates say nothing about which nation is “the poorest.” Nonetheless, this is exactly how the Times misrepresented them.
The upshot is laid bare by the fact that this OECD measure assigns a higher poverty rate to the US (17.8 percent) than to Mexico (16.6 percent). Yet World Bank data show that 35 percent of Mexico’s population lives on less than $5.50 per day, compared to only 2 percent of people in the United States.
The problem is that they deal in actual money and not purchase power. You can buy more with the equivalent of $5.50 per day in Mexico and other countries that rank higher on the powerty scale, So what FEE is doing is attempting to twist the data to show that the poor in the US is rich by misrepresenting data.

Easy to SAY, but can you prove any of that? Besides, I am referring to ME, was that somehow too unclear to you?It's comical that any Republican voter would complain about one-issue voters. 30% of GOP voters are one issue anti-abortion/anti-LGBTQ+ voters, 20% are one issue 2nd Amendment/No Gun Control voters, 20% are one issue anti-tax/trickle down economic voters and 20% are one issue anti-Immigration voters. 90% of the GOP voters are one issue voters.
You sound Trump-deranged. I am sorry for your loss, but have you considered starting to charge him rent for living rent-free in your head?Proof that it's true.
I quoted it and I did read it all. They even bragged in the beginning about using that other method. The report are using actual numbers NOT numbers adjusted for the cost of living in the different countries. That way they falsely make it look like that poor people in the US are richer than poor people in MexicoYou would have to read my entire link to understand the methodology, which was explained.

You asked if I only voted for people supporting stricter gun laws. and then I explained that it isn't the number one issue for me. I even asked if you voted for people who you only agree with 100%.
