Says the fuckwit who just spewed this:
I never met anyone carrying a gun who wasn't a cop or a licensed hunter over here in europe and it's great.
The horrorfreakshow in your head must be a huge burden
Cool story, crypto-bro. Lemme guess, you fancy yourself a real "alpha-male" too, right?
Mm k there psycho, I hope violence befalls you and yours as well.
Ohhh and so witty, too! Ladies, watch out, this one's the whole package!
UK has had 3 mass shootings in the 2020s

US had 620 just in 2020 alone

Don't hurt your back carrying that goalpost, you might have to start accepting that you're wrong if you can't move it around anymore!

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)
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.
I see you don't know how to read sources. That explains a lot, hehe! I guess it explains why you haven't posted any of your own. Clearly we are done here.
By all means, show me the FBI stats that state that 80% of all murders in the US happen without guns!
Misinformation is claiming some BS without any proof. Which is what you're doing, mister man!
Meanwhile... 4 posts up...
You can't be that mad at the guy for doing it when you did it too...
It's right in the sources... 4.56 gun related homicide rate, 4.96 total homicide rate. It's from different years but it's not gonna be that different.
Come on.
