    To be fair, 432 shootings in a country of 340,000,000 isn’t THAT crazy, relatively speaking, especially considering the existence of the 2nd Amendment, and that last I heard, there are more guns in the US than people.

        I don’t like guns either, just trying to be objective about it. People like to talk about the US like we’re all constantly gunning each other down, but the reality is that it’s quite rare.

        Even moreso if you don’t count stuff like gang hits, which this was.

          If more kids die by guns than car crashes, I think that’s significant. Also IIRC USA has way more car accidents than the EU.

          You just got used to it IMO.

          Most countries don’t have more than one shooting a day.

              Yeah absolutely nothing to do with the worlds most stupid laws about guns. No no, not at all. It’s… checks notes … that there are less inhabitants there than in the EU.

                Mocking me for simply pointing out that ratios give better perspective than raw numbers is only making you look like a moron, just so you know.
