Same arguments in every gun thread.

Obvious lack of gun deaths in countries with no guns... oh what’s that Switzerland has more guns per capital than the USA? Etc etc etc

It all comes down to societal maturity doesn’t it? People in the USA don’t have the mentality as a group to handle guns. Rash, angry, undereducated, poor social programs for mental health issues... and easy access to firearms. The saying goes you’re only as smart as the stupidest one in your group. There’s some real dummies with lots of guns in the USA. Insert people with severe mental health issues that are not receiving appropriate treatment wherever I’ve said dummies or stupid people at your leisure.

Saying Cali has strict laws doesn’t mean shit when there’s no checked borders with 47 other states that don’t have the same standards. Did not include Alaska or Hawaii as there’s no direct way to transport firearms from there to Cali.

I wouldn't say it's a "societal" issue when most of the murders in the US occur in only 5% of the counties.
https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2...-countys-says/

Here's a mass shooting from yesterday. CNN was nowhere to be found
https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2...lence-decline/

I could show you 20 mass shootings that occurred last month within a one week span. Care to guess what they all had in common? And no, it's not that cnn didn't cover them.

You tell me genius. The youngest victim at the garlic festival was 3. But never answer a question just change the subject when you don't have an answer and can't admit you are wrong.


Fun fact: Knife-related homicides took 285 lives in England and Wales in 2018

Nearly 40,000 People Died From Guns in U.S. Last Year,

CNN actually has coverage of both... from the time it occurred with regular updates going forward.

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.cnn....ast/index.html

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.cnn....ing/index.html

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.cnn....ing/index.html

You’re just not realizing that CNN’s app and website has bias on how it presents headlines based on your location.

I’m not sure what your point is though? What you’re saying is evidence of how many mass shootings there are and a pretty fucked up society. That % of counties is misleading of course if a mass shooting happens in one place of a state then it’s only a small percentage of that overall state. The phenomena is spread all over the entirety of the USA is it not? Every state has had some form of mass shooting in it, the very nature of those incidents requires them to be limited to a small area of that state when they occur. I understand the correlation of crime areas accounting for the bulk of murders overall, but that isn’t the discussion topic here.

Sadly the truth for me as well. When I used to hear about a mass shooting I would be like wtf and go check out the news instantly. Now when I hear it I'm just like oh ok that's normal, moving on.

That's the key thing. Lots of countries have lots of guns, but require you to prove you're at least vaguely competent before giving you one.

Also the Swiss have a crapload of guns but very little access to ammo. Without that it's just a piece of pipe glued to a stick.

Like a coward, welfare changing the subject instead of defending his position. Also going by counties? How stupid do you think we are? What's next your going to tell us Ferrari is more reliable than Honda? Because a lot more Honda's go in for repair. Facts real facts.

Over all, though, nearly three-fourths of victims and suspected assailants whose race could be identified were black. Some experts suggest that helps explain why the drumbeat of dead and wounded does not inspire more outrage.

Unfortunately I’m not sure what else to do. I will stay neutrally opinionated as I can, but we don’t live in nor have voting ability on what the US does.
Am I horribly misinformed and just don’t know, or has the US as a whole tried to fix problems and solve the pretty obvious issue of mass shootings/untargeted random killing.

Every country has tragedies and every country has people with mental issues. So what’s makes the US so unique in not solving any issues

I don’t even think the “thoughts and prayers” memes are directed at sympathizers in the general public, I take it as a backhanded slap to the face of politicians who tweet that and but still get cowed by their contributors and lobbyists instead of actually doing their jobs working on legislation that might curtail some of this. I see nothing wrong with it from that perspective.
