It's not all Republicans. That 85% for gun reform is a
broad spectrum of people of all political views, gun
owners and not. That 85% would like to see their kids
safe from guns. I'm not a gun owner or a Republican.
But something has to be done. It's insane.

You or I or anyone here is not going to resolve the problem..

It's an American problem and it will never be resolved. There's 700 m guns in circulation in the US. The toothpaste is out of the tube when it's that amount.

Nothing that can be done.

It can’t when powerful people, and many stupid people, don’t want to address the issue.

The logistics are a big problem, but actively encouraging the gun culture like they do in America is the real issue here.

That’s the bigger issue than the logistics.

Make bullets hugely expensive if they can’t take the guns away

^^^^^

And tax the sh. 1 T out of them.

Share that with a right wing, God fearing gun owner
and their reply would be "communist" - sad times.

^ That data was published on 19 August 2019. Sadly the US total for the year exceeded 249.

People are the problem. That's why they should be nowhere near guns.

I think that covers it Rosso

Is that Mexico with 3? Because that cannot be right

“Share that with a right wing, God fearing gun owner

Collating and publishing data is an inherently communist activity now?

Just the one for a mass shooting id wonder why I bothered.

Ah that old chestnut 🥱🥱🥱

Nothing will change sadly. There's no sane argument for America's current gun laws but they will not change them

I have several friends who are hunters. They are responsible. But even they think other hunters who
buy and use AR15s a fcking insane. As they say
"what are they hunting? Fcking T-Rex?"

No way brazil or Mexico have that little.

Sorry.

Not buying that at all.

Apparently some countries may flag certain mass shooting events as terrorist attacks or genocide rather than criminal mass shootings, which may have had an impact on the data for Mexico.

They’d do well to catch up to 249 though.

18th century British soldiers who take a minute at a time to reload their muskets between shots

Deffo need AR-15’s for that existential threat

I meant what I said. Guns aren't the problem. People are. Thats why guns should be banned so troubled people don't use them.

Brazil (49436)
United States (37038)
Venezuela (28515)
Mexico (22116)
India (14710)
Colombia (13169)
Philippines (9267)
Guatemala (5980)

Countries with the Highest Rates of Firearm-Related Suicide (per 100k) in 2019

Greenland (16.36)
United States (7.12)
Uruguay (4.74)
San Marino (4.08)
Montenegro (3.40)
Argentina (2.67)
Finland (2.66)

Educate yourself on American gun laws and 2nd amendment then.

tbh...it's not really news anymore, this type of event.

Nothing in the US is going to change. Regular massacres like this are the price Americans are willing to pay to be able to carry their own firearms.. and use them when they are not happy.

The Washington Post say since Columbine 300,000 schoolkids have experienced a school shooting in the US.

Just seen on the news that 60% of the gums sold in the USA are done without background checks.

^^^^^

That's a stone cold fact. Sick. I was at my local car
wash couple of weeks back. A 30-something white
couple pulled in next to me to wash their car. They
both looked like they'd never seen a salad. And had
really angry faces. He sported a goatee, a knee brace,
and a holster that held a 9mm.

His other half also sported a knee brace, and a holster
carrying a revolver. I watched them both for a while.
They even washed their car angrily. Their heads were
on swivels. As if sensing a gun threat was near.

The car wash is in a safe, middle class neighborhood.
And it was the middle of the day. Not a threat in sight.
Yet these two model citizens, exercising their 2nd
amendment rights, looked like they were hoping
someone would try something. It's a surreal, twisted,
fcked up world over here.

I've lived in the US 25 years and not once felt the need
to carry a knife let alone a gun. Those that feel opposite to me have this shared dangerous psychosis.
of the paranoid few.
