    Dude, there are other countries with fascists and they don’t have mass shootings the way we do. The only honest answer is guns.

      They use bombs and knives instead!

      Or ask Norway if they use guns, too.

      Defensive gun uses outnumber illegal gun uses. I should get shot? Wait for the police to never arrive because of my neighborhood? Wait for them to shoot me because they got confused and get a medal for it?

      Y’all are really good (bad) at pointing out the problem but your solution always ends up being, “send armed goons into people’s houses to make sure they got rid of their property we don’t like.”

      You know how many countries have a fuck load of guns and like almost no fascist death brigades? Fucking most of them. The fact that we have 1.1 guns instead of .6 per person does not, in fact, explain gun violence when the exact same percentage of the country owns guns.

        no, you think they use knives instead because homicides are so much rarer there that knife attacks are much bigger news. The US has more knife violence than those countries too.

        Think for a second how defensive gun use could possibly outnumber offensive use. What are they defending against if there isn’t also offensive gun use? You pulled this stat completely out of thin air like all your opinions on guns.

        Youve never heard anyone suggest to send in armed goons to get rid of property.

        There’s only one country with a fuck load of guns, the US, and it has a ton of police homicides.
