    And of those remaining “only like 20”, how many were random acts of violence?

    We’re so close to getting to the infinitesimally small statistical likelihood of this happening.

      holy fuck the copium here is pathetic. is this honestly what people tell themselves in order to feel ok about gun violence?

      “of those remaining” “take out the gang related shootings” like holy fuck you realize this is an epidemic right? bro if I’m breaking down the different mass shootings into tiers that’s a fuckin problem. 1 mass shooting, regardless of your arbitrary criteria for what it takes to actually qualify as one that matters is too many. there’s no other argument to make there.

      the discussion isn’t about what you tell yourself to feel safe. it’s about the perception other countries have looking at it. the mentality you’re displaying is just contributing to it: you’re all fucking nuts lol.

        There is no discussion lol. There is my ability to defend myself and nobody’s ability to take that away irrespective of how many lunatics exist.

        Regarding the perception from other countries, lol. If you want to live in crippling fear for an entirely unlikely situation to find yourself in, then go for it and don’t come to the US. We don’t ever think about you guys.
