Did you notice the words "in more than a decade" in the piece about Britain? The US has enjoyed 31 mass shootings in this November alone! So yes, you live in a shitty, violent and gun-obsessed society.

Let me say this first. I do respect a lot of your takes on here or I wouldn't try have this conversation with you.

This is uniquely an American problem. Why do you think that is.

The number of them is uniquely an American problem. Not the occurrence itself.

Did you notice the words I responded to? Apparently not. For your convenience:

"It's why mass shootings are a thing here and nowhere else in the world."

Thank you for your opinion. I think your society is shitty, so there's that.

Probably not.
Great job reveling in the bodies and suffering of others in order to advance your ignorant anti-gun bullshit.

Well, I guess I should be wishing we had one mass shooting per day, instead of every ten years; y'know, keeping up with the Jones's and all that...

"Bullshit"? Every single advanced nation which enacted stringent legislation after an appalling shooting saw huge drops in gun-related deaths. But not America and your holy 2A; no amount of deaths is enough for you guys. Just shrug your collective shoulders until the next, inevitable, atrocity and let the daily carnage continue. And America touts itself as 'advanced'. I see third-world level slaughter, just behind Brazil. Congratulations, you'll make number one soon enough.
 
Shooter name released

In France alone since 2000 there have been 408 terrorist attacks, compared to the mass shootings this country has experienced since 1982, where there have been 137 mass shootings. In one year alone...2007...there were 590 terror attacks. The number of dead in Europe in a 20 year span due to terror related incidents dwarfs the total number of dead in mass shooting incidents in the US in 40 years.

Your poutrage is noted...but your hysteria is misguided.

Gladly, once you lot wake up, do something positive about the killing epidemic you're so desperate to defend, and realise this is 2022, not 1722.

It's already illegal for prohibited persons to possess firearms. You could start with them now. Take a flight into DC or Baltimore.

I wasn't arguing registration. I was arguing against only being able to have .22 caliber handguns, hunting rifles, and shotguns, as was suggested.
