Sad watching people like you type out a bunch of nonsense as though it’s true.

I guess that’s why people like you are so ‘up in arms’ about gun control; you’re living in a fantasy world where you think that criminals don’t have guns in other developed nations.

What are you talking about?

Are you also delusional enough to believe criminals don’t have guns in other developed nations?

Criminals dont have guns

You seem to be speaking in the absolute “No criminal has any gun ever” without understanding of any nuance whatsoever.

Go study then come back

The guy who killed Shinzo Abe in Japan literally had to build the gun and was only able to do so efficiently because he was an ex-member of the JMSDF.

That’s how hard it is to get a gun in Japan. And surprise! They have one of the lowest homicide rates in the world.

Nice cherrypicking.

Thanks for supporting my point about living in a fantasy world, lol.

And surprise! They have one of the lowest homicide rates in the world.

It must be the guns, right? Not their culture? What about nations that ban guns but have higher homicide rates than Japan or even the U.S.?

The only countries that fit this definition outside Central/South America and Sub-Saharian Africa are Russia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Palau and Kiribati.

Literally all of Europe and all of Asia with a functioning democracy have a lower homicide rate than the US. I wouldn’t really call that “cherrypicking”.

Is that what you’re comparing to? You think the US police would be as bad at enforcing a gun control law as the one in Kiribati?

It’s not a fantasy, it’s observed reality. There are almost no mass shootings anywhere outside the US. The few that did happen were from terrorists : people on a mission and part of an organisation, not some lone dude able to buy a rifle at the closest 7-11. At this point, if you don’t want gun control, you just don’t want to save your peers from being murdered. As far as I’m concerned you’re an accomplice.

Educate yourself.

Lol, this is what I mean by ‘getting up in arms’ while living in a fantasy world. I think you might be spending too much time on these forums, and it’s distorting your view of reality. You can’t realize it though because it makes you fit in with those around you.

Oh well. Gonna block you now. You don’t seem like the kind of rational person who has information that’s worth taking seriously.

You want to try reading that ? most other countries have three or four occurrences total. US has… 4011 in the last decade.

You’re the one whose beliefs are blinding them my friend.
