The US is NOT the worst country for mass shootings

[Tijuana]

... You think terrorist organizations can't get guns?

Are you fucking retarded?

I have been told, repeatedly, that he best killing machine the world has ever known, is a standard semiautomatic rifle, that functions exactly as all the others do. Why are suicide bombers not using semiautomatic rifles in Israel then?

[DrStiglit]

And this how you do analysis to spin a tale. If it isn’t based of total population and exclusive of terrioist activity is irrelevant.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Great. Now show me where it's been done right. France? Belgium? Where? It seems to me that, despite all these gun bans, people are still committing mass murder. It's the darnedest thing. It's almost like blood thirsty killers don't even care about the law!

Also, step away from the shift key, and slowly back away. Just stop...with the random capitalized words for no reason.

You either don’t know how to read or don’t remeber the things you say, Canada is where it has been done right as it has far less mass shootings then the us yet is connected to it.

[Tijuana]

Uhhh...yeah they do? At least at the butcher shops I have been to. You may have to preorder, though. Is that unusual?

Yeah, you can't buy deer meat anywhere in the US, that I have ever seen. I'm sure someone is, somewhere, but I have never seen it.

Most hunters are begging you take some of theirs, because it ain't real great, and no family could eat 2 or 3 deer a year. "Try my deer jerky, it's great." How come all jerky isn't deer, if it's so great?

Facts may be facts but you're interpreting them incorrectly. Because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Thank you for that detailed, and insightful breakdown of the data. With your contribution, I think many of us will have to alter our future arguments.

Because guns are hard to get for Palestinians? If the could get them, they could easily kill dozens more.

Not sure what you are talking about deer meat is pretty easily available in most trendy cities, it is considered an alternative to lamb. There are a lot of burger places that have it on their menus not sure about the boonies. You can also buy it online but I don't trust buying meat online.

We (The Netherlands) have had 2 school shootings in the history of our country.

Only people being shot in the Netherlands are criminals.

Please don't spread lies about me here. I never once have advocated for Canadian laws. I'm going to have to ask you post where I said that, or drop it. Telling intentional untruths is very rude, in my view.

I'm the wrong person to ask that, I dislike meat that isn't chicken (still meh). The only person I know to eat deer shoots it himself, in Germany, actually. Go figure. :P

1. i can own a handgun in France
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_France
It requires the owner to be older than 18, be affiliated with a shooting range, have attended at least 3 shooting sessions with an instructor, and have a medical certificate.

I certainly cannot own an assault rifle.

2. Outside of terrorist attack, i am not aware of mass shooting here. Especially not in our school.

My advice to you, is to focus on what is going on in your own country, wherever it may be, and stop bashing my nation, that you clearly don't know anything about.

You can blame every problem in the world on the US, but it just makes you look ignorant. It's conspiracy theory levels of delusion, to think that jihadists are somehow the the fault of the US.

You aren't punching anyone in the face, kid. You are not tough. You are not going to physically dominate anyone, despite your keyboard warrior threats. Making threats across the internet is just evidence of your cowardice.

hows about when you guys stop failing at basic foreign policy ill stop criticizing you. deal?

first off i wasn't saying i was i was using an example. but believe me id be more than happy too.
and as for your hurb derp angry on the internet must be a kid. thats you trying to discredit my point by making a proposition that cannot be proven either way as we live in 2 different country's and are under the mask of anonymity. if i was to say im a 6 foot 1, 15 stone 28 year old active male that could be correct or it might not be, so your just making an assumption. i also could be mentally unhinged or i could just be a Russian pretending to be some one else to spread division. in other words you don't know me so id be careful what you assume about people on the internet.

Below is the paper that the article get's it's figures from:

It looks like guns are banned in most of the countries listed. How are there gun deaths in places where there are no guns allowed?

One too many..

Well this thread is embarrassing

Bombs kill more people in a very short time frame (guns can kill more people, but it takes longer to do so), and inspire more terror.

For it to be embarassing, you would need some shame, dontcha.

So if we get rid of guns, they will just use bombs, which are worse? Whose side are you on there? I thought we were opposed...

So you don’t know how to read got it.

Unfortunately I can't tell if the OP is a satirical act or genuinely slow

I’d go with genuinely slow but you can never be sure.

Nation bashing is against the rules, regardless of how you think we are doing. It's fair game to question policies or officials. But you are basically just saying my whole country is shit. That's pretty rude, as well as being childish, and against the forum rules.

Calling others stupid, when you can't capitalize your sentences, falls a bit flat. Just sayin...

What is it that you think a rifle does, that a hand gun does not do?
