      Countries that allow guns have massively more gun deaths, that shouldn’t be surprising

      Edit: it’s worth noting that the US has had more mass shootings this year than the entire history of Europe apparently, according to that list.

        According to that list? Mass shootings in Europe are extremely rare.

          I’m not arguing that fact, my point is just that more guns will always result in more mass shootings. Guns should not be a right.

            guns will always result in more mass shootings

            Then why aren’t there any other mass shootings in the Czech Republic?

              Considering that mass shootings aren’t a common thing in the Western world as a whole, that isn’t really relevant. One is more than most countries in the West have had in decades.

        Absolutely. I just think that it’s silly to draw attention to guns being easily attainable in this context, when there have been so many more mass shootings in other European countries.

          You are correct. People kill people. With guns

      The timeline for the shootings seems like it’s that economic fuckery and downturns precede upticks in shootings. It is very alarming that there has been three of them this year.

        Four. The “Serbia” entry is two shootings.
