    Realistically speaking (unless you have a habit of starting physical altercations) your chances of being assaulted/in a fight in the usa go down dramatically after you leave high school. There are exceptions to this
    1. if you are on the low end of the socio-economic spectrum, household income 40k and under
    2. You live in a neighborhood that has high unemployment/drug use/median income is 25k and under
    3. You are a professional fighter.
    4. You routinely hang around friends that have impulse control and anger issues while drunk

    Many kids today don't have a mentor or a positive figure to look up to. Look at how many single parent households there are today. Kids need both a positive male and female influence to thrive and grow into well-adjusted adults.

    I'm so glad I grew up without social media. Its a cancer on society these days. It was bad enough using it only when I was an adult, I couldn't imagine the negative effects on a developing mind.

    Oh, they work well for criminals and the courts. Lots of helpless victims and a never ending revenue stream for the legal system.

    It worked to settle the 'wild west' (please see the underlying reason for the gunfight at the OK Corral)

    It worked for Alabama in 1840. https://cite.case.law/ala/1/612/

    background checks already happen, can’t get one legally without it. Hell even Hunter was able to circumvent this. Like criminals always do.


    Required annual training? We use to teach kids about gun safety, hell some schools even had courses on in back in the day. In some parts of the world they still do.

    Duty of care? Collateral damage? That’s why there’s insurance for it, not mandatory because it’s infringement but good idea to have if you own anything in this world.

    gun dealers should get FFL taken away if caught doing wrong things. Only according to the constitution.

    las one was already answered above.

    in all your solutions, not one was for fixing the societal issue that’s causing these types of issues. Crime and violence rates dropped in many cities when certain practices where in place, yet funding for programs didn’t. In most of not all cases more funding was pumped in to break up the nuclear family. Hell that was in the Charter of one major SJW organization before they deleted it. Remember patriarchy is the issue. Meaning father figures. Get rid of the father figures and you have a society that looks to the government. I can assure you males tend to think like animals who are live in packs. An alpha is needed to teach control and subjugate. Take the alpha out and you have a mess where every pack member is now killing everything in site without direction. Reason why a certain groups has the highest fatherless% lowest population% but commits the most crimes.


    Who’s against patriarchy? Who’s against having strong father figures in the house? Who’s against the nuclear family? These are all causes of such societal issues that is currently happening.


    As for your comment about gardening schools just moved the violence to a softer target makes the point.

    make a target soft then it becomes one.



    coming from experience, I can tell you for sure criminals don’t look for hard targets Like a Seal team to take down. They want quick and easy one.

    in all the videos you see online when a criminal is being shot at they run away.


    One more thing. All these politicians send their kids to schools that are hardened like hell. But that doesn’t work?

    you think you could have walked into Obamas kids school without getting a prostate exam?


    Also want to point out that NRA is a BS organization. Money hungry fear mongering all the time. Their motivation was racist on the 60’s. Since I’m an immigrant to me the constitution is as it is the first time I heard about it. What happened between its writing and today has no bearing on my belief in it as it was written.

    My only 100% things? 2nd amendment and abortion.

    You can list all the otber non freedom loving countries all you want, but our 2nd ends in "Shall not be infringed".

    Your side want's to treat the symptoms, not the problem. How's that worked in DC, or Chicago?

    We were talking about mass shootings, not gun homicides, which is another statistical lie.
    If I'm killed I can guarantee I don't care if it's by gun, knife, or long bow.

    So, care to answer the question asked? Got statistics showing the ranking of the U.S. compared to other countries on number of mass shootings per capita. Not number of victims, but number of actual events.
