From a Englishman:
I live in a country where it is illegal for a civilian to buy or carry a gun around. I think for Agricultural workers and in some animal sports you can get an air rifle, and that's about it. Has there been mass shootings? So rarely, I don't even know.
Geneuine question. What is so hard about looking statistically at countries with strict gun control and their gun crime rates? From a statistical standpoint, strict gun control would massively decrease gun crime. I understand that because there are SO many guns in the US, stricter gun control would not stop someone who really wanted one to get a gun. But giving someone the option to legally and seamlessly acquire something of that power, is ludicrous. A lot of recent mass shootings have been caused by young adults, if you cut out of ease of purchase, it would be an extra hurdle for someone with dark thoughts and major mental health trauma to jump through and be able to act on such hate and in turn, i think, WOULD reduce gun crime and mass shootings.
Now, if you really wanted to stop seeing mass shootings on the news, it would be a matter of seriously considering that the only way would be to have strict gun laws and have some kind of roll back on currently legal, automatic, human killing designed products of war. But of course that is ridiculously resource heavy and an unpopular opinion.
But just remember, if carrying a gun for you is for safety; that in turn is putting a gun in the hand of someone capable of such evil.
