The United States of America is the best/easiest place in the world to own guns. It’s the only place you can get a gun at a convenience store. In fact, in most states, a background check isn’t required unless you’re buying from a federally licensed firearm dealer.
The above is a copypaste, but it gets the point across perfectly. It’s vey easy to get a gun in the USA, unlike in many other countries.
And batting 3 for 3 in lies! Each country has absolutely had mass shootings since they banned guns. Claiming “No mass shootings since” is just lying. At least be honest when you argue your point please.
I wouldn’t expect you to understand statistics, but 1 per year versus 620 is noise ya jabroni.
2023 - 1 so far…
2022 - 2
2021 - 3
2020 - 2
So even after letting you move the goal-post from NEVER… you moved it to 1 per year… and STILL got it wrong even though I gave you the source.
But that’s not the point I was even trying to make… The homicide rate in the UK was virtually unaffected for each weapons ban enacted. All that’s happened is that murders that would have been conducted via gun, just happen in other ways now. Also keep in mind that nearly all of the “western” world has been on a downtrend at the same rate for a long while now on homicides/murder/violent crime.
UK still has shotguns, but no hand guns or semi automatic rifles.
This law created a new market for “long-barrelled revolvers” and “long-barrelled pistols”,
Rifles…
UK law does not provide a statutory definition for a “rifle”.
I’m starting to think you might not even know the laws in your own country… Forget the USA…
There have been no mass killings on the scale of Dunblaine or Hungerford since banning those weapons.
Dunblaine
1996 - 15 injured 18 dead.
Hungerford
1987 - 15 injured 17 dead
Nothing since 1996 on that scale? You sure? Did you read anything?
2 June 2010
Cumbria, England
13 dead 11 injured.
Forget that the original firearms act of Britain was set in 1968. So it all happened while guns were banned… everything since then has been amendments to the act (1988, 1997 were amendments). There were also other legislation in 2006 (so before 2010 mass shooting), 2012, and 2019.
But please carry on with your denial
Talk about denial… You’re denying your own laws/history… Fuck me man… I can’t help you.
Well done, you’ve managed to find the three worst crimes of the last 50 years. About a week’s worth of deaths in America. Do you think you’re proving your point by highlighting how rare mass shootings are in the UK?
Can you join the dots now and see that when gun ownership is restricted there are far fewer shootings?
America’s fucked, there’s more guns than people, there’s no way back, just thoughts and prayers and fear.

Dude… are you capable of following a conversation? YOU posted the first 2… and said there’s been nothing since then. I showed you one other that was after that is the same scale.
If you can’t even follow your own conversation you truly are hopeless.

Doesn’t matter. UK proved that you can’t stop all gun related deaths. And even accounting for that UK overall homicide rate hasn’t decreased any faster than any other “western” country INCLUDING the USA.

No fear here. Just idiot who project it from overseas it seems.

So it’s all or nothing? 🤡
1/620
0.16%
Even accounting for population it’s still blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain that guns = shooting
And the US knife killing rate is still higher than the US. Just a bit more murdery I suppose. But then us Europeans shipped all the religious nutters out to the US for a reason
Mass shootings happen everywhere. Most mass shootings happen with illegal firearms, and finally, tons of saves happen because good people own firearms.
Cool story, crypto-bro. Lemme guess, you fancy yourself a real “alpha-male” too, right?
I do hope you face exactly what they faced, but without guns. Maybe when your wife or sister gets raped in front of you, you’ll learn why sticking a gun up your butt is a good idea.
Mm k there psycho, I hope violence befalls you and yours as well.
The US has more than 4x as many homicides overall with almost 90% of those being gun related. US could save a lot of people if they weren’t so intent on their little murder toys.
I may or may not know where to get illegal firearms, but would’ve done something very drastic ages ago already if I could simply go get a gun within 3 days legally.
Only because the friends that would get me to an illegal one know my mental health well enough to not give it to me. No grocery store background check would find any of that.
What’s funny is that when you talk about illegal firearms in other countries, they must likely came from the USA (or in Canada’s case, they definitely came from there).

We had two mass shootings in the UK and banned guns, no mass shootings since. Same in NZ and Australia.
Factually wrong. Most recent was 2023…

I never met anyone carrying a gun who wasn’t a cop or a licensed hunter over here in europe and it’s great.

If you’re going to compare gun related homicides, the US has more than 20x as many as the UK (in 2017 and 2015 respectively)
deleted by creator
I’m not sure what you mean, but if you’re trying to say that if we include all homicides that the US would somehow have less murders overall…

The US has more than 4x as many homicides overall with almost 90% of those being gun related. US could save a lot of people if they weren’t so intent on their little murder toys.
All you have to do is go to a state with lax gun laws. It’s not that hard to get around even the toughest gun laws

Why try to change the subject?
He has to. I made sure to include a source he probably agrees with: Fox News
And they deleted their comments

No, it’s about guns specifically.

How come murders aren’t as prevalent in countries where guns are banned then? 🤔
If Americans weren’t buying them, they wouldn’t be coming here.
The same concept applies for illegal immigrants, too. If republicans weren’t hiring them, they wouldn’t be crossing the border.
It’s mostly red states that have the most crime. Probably due to the slashing of education, low pay, and general disinterest in helping the working class
