Absolutely brutal case of engineering brain here. Real "guns don't kill people, people kill people" stuff.


Your second statement is correct. What about it makes it “engineering brain”?


If the blame were solely on the user then we'd see similar rates of deaths from gun violence in the US vs. other countries. But we don't, because users are influenced by the UX


Somehow people don't kill people nearly as easily, or with as high of a frequency or social support, in places that don't have guns that are more accessible than healthcare. So weird.


If you were to wager a guess, what do you think my views on gun rights are?


Probably something equally as nuanced and correct as the statement I replied to!


You're projecting.
