Interesting. Seems firearms are not the problem. Thanks for the info.

While shootings do happen in other countries...the sheer frequency of them is the problem in the United States.
Also, 0.000026% is a relatively small problem.

Yeah, I'm sure the pack of 8 wild hogs that are tearing up my land will surely wait right where they are for me to use a bolt action.

No one needs an AR-15.

Good thing I got one. And 3 mp5s. And an uzi. And several other tacticool guns

Oh... And no one needs a 200hp death trap that kills more people than guns in a year.
Yet you see sports cars tearing up the roadway when a simple smartcar would get the job done.

European countries with much stricter gun laws and regulation still had the same or more mass shootings as US.
This just isn't true. Norway had 1 event, but the 67 fatalities push it to the top in your chart. The Bataclan attack (130 fatalities) also skews the numbers. Take those 2 out and your premise is laughable.
And the Serbian 19 deaths in 2 events, despite the country having a population of only 7M and not being comparable to the US in nearly any way...another mistake.

Can we compare apples to apples?
Lets compare gun deaths in France to gun deaths in Texas.
In 2016 there were 1800 deaths in France, and 3200 in Texas.
Even without adjusting for population, you can see immediately Texas has a higher gun death rate per person.

Let us know when you plan to do that.

Would you prefer by population or by geography?

And we should take out the LV shooting because that also skews the numbers right?
You have the logic of a potato.

We hunt with them. They’re nothing more than regular semiauto weapons. They only have tactical properties such as modification ability to suit your personal needs, which can be done with any rifle but is just easier to do with an AR.

Are they demographically the same?
