YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

    It’s easier to get guns in many EU countries than many US states.

        No. California has some of the strictest gun laws and leads the country in mass shootings. New York also has ridiculously strict gun laws and is up there on the mass shootings count as well.

        (Though also let’s be real the shootings are just correlated with large dense populations in the current US climate, not if the state is red/blue. So let’s drop the gun law security theatre, there are a million factors that influence gun violence more than restricting the rights of everybody.)

      No, only like Switzerland it is. And there you can’t even buy ammo.

        Look up gun laws in Austria, the Czech Republic, etc. Hell when I was in Budapest the military was literally set up in a park giving civilians dry fire training just in the middle of a fair in a park.
