Ah, the idiocy continues unabated. Do you really think they were making a good point by suggesting mass killings don't happen regularly outside the US? Don't tell that to Norway, who has the highest per capita deaths from mass shootings in the past 20 years, or Finland, who comes in 2nd. And both have stricter gun control laws than the US.

Man you really need to google how to have a sense of humor.

How about you stop cherry-picking anomalous examples and include the rest of the developed nations that comprise the data?

Norway has a population of only 5 million people, and Breivik's spree was devastating, killing or wounding hundreds. 25% of Norway's population knew a victim affected by the attacks; of course their per capita mass shooting deaths are going to be fucked up. And what do the rest of the top 10 countries have in common? Though they may have stricter laws on gun control, they nonetheless have high rates of legal gun ownership.

But they all pale in comparison to the USA, where we own 88.8 guns per 100 people.

Aren't all these guns supposed to be keeping us safe? Why is there still so much crime?

Anyway, gun control isn't the solution. We have a fucked up, self-centered, excessively individualistic culture that breeds alienation, and alienation seems to lead to spree killings.

theonion, always doing journalism better than the rest

[phacemeltar]

there are people in america who are in possession of high-caliber automatic weapons, even though uncle sam says they are illegal. the whole ordeal is just silly

Who the fuck would be stupid enough to register there guns nowadays? I trade nearly monthly, and serial numbers get checked by me, but registering is pretty moronic.

I own a few guns but they must be broken or something, none of them have gotten up on their own and killed anyone yet.

You bought the wrong kind of guns bro.

Even without the fear of Government disarment, you have to take into account the changing racial demogeaphic of this Country.

Statistics show that those entering our Nation, in a very rapid rate are not Pro-Gun. One day they will be the majority vote. Look at the Countries they come from, gun rights are nearly non-existent. There will be a lot of changes in this Country, sooner than later. Because of our folly regarding Illegal Immigration. Gun rights, is just one change we will encounter. Welcome to Northern Mexico, viva la misery.
