Weird how the US is literally the only first world country with this problem. No way it has anything to do with the ease of access to guns!
I wonder if there are any other differences in America from other first-world countries? Maybe it's the availability of swimming pools? Or too many McDonalds? Or maybe there are numerous social issues that are unaddressed here in the states and have been responsible for a much higher incidence of violence in general, of which guns are a small part.
There’s violent and unhinged people in every country. The difference is the guns… it couldn’t be anymore fucking obvious lol
People who want to kill people will kill people regardless of the tools available to them.
Hardware stores in any county contain the means to create mass killing events with a weekly paycheck.
You are not safe from people who intend to do you harm because you have gun laws. Stop thinking life is so simple.
Weird how there’s no pandemic of mass murders with hardware tools. Stop being fucking delusional and use your brain.
