I noticed the UK rate is almost as high as the US, but they do not have the high mass murders as we do. Also, there is no data reported for a number of countries. I would also be very skeptical of the data reported for quite a few of the countries that reported data. I do agree that we have too many kids growing up with only one parent, or with parents who are divorced. On the other hand, living in a home with two parents is not always a good thing either (parents fighting all the time, one parent being abusive). I think this issue is just one of many as to why we are seeing so many mass shootings.
U.S. has world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households
Almost a quarter of U.S. children under 18 live with one parent and no other adults, more than three times the share of children around the world who do so.www.pewresearch.org

I think ease of access to guns for people that shouldn’t have them is an issue. But then you run into the issue of them obtaining them illegally. That’s one reason I want harsher penalties. I think gun culture in the minds of an evil or mental health issues doesn’t make things better. I say that as I know many people who you would describe as being gun nuts or heavy into the gun culture who respect human life.
Now to the gun. I can’t fathom the possibility that putting a gun into someone’s hands suddenly and is the only reason they would want to kill somebody
No one is claiming guns have some mystical power to possess someone, but switch out the weapon yesterday. How many die if killer only has a knife? How many faceless kids are we left with? How about in Uvalde? You don’t think the efficiency of a gun leads to a higher body count?
“no other country on planet Earth lives like this…”
Baseball bat? Billy club? Brass knuckles? Duh. The death rate and injuries shrink.
That would be a start.
Personally, I'd start with reforming background checks, raise the age to purchase, universal "red flag", and no sales at gun shows.
Then ban 'ghost guns", felons with a permanent ban of ownership, and outlaw NRA contributions to politicians.
Anything else I can clear up for you?
That’s what they’ll say about you someday after you set off a series of pipe bombs or shoot up a women’s health clinic.
“Did he leave a manifesto behind”?
Yes. On this message board called HORT
Arizona shows all the trashy, pretend, leadership, whine, support us with tax money, crap expected. City boy in an Arizona hospital pretending to be on the pulse. Childish, anti everything…
The very brown Enrique Torres is, of course, a leader of the Proud Boys. Many over the border browns seem to consider themselves white. Hence the category "Non-Hispanic White."

Some of the gun “experts” on here have tried to paint the AR15 as a "not that powerful" rifle that doesn’t do much damage. The damage it does is incredible. Instead of clipping a liver, the organ will explode. It is why parents were unable to identify their children at Uvalde. Their babies were essentially vaporized. Below is an article from a doctor who worked on the children who were shot at Parkland.
What I Saw Treating the Victims From Parkland Should Change the Debate on Guns
They weren’t the first mass-shooting victims the Florida radiologist saw—but their wounds were radically different.

Physics are physics.
Rifle rounds tend to move faster than pistol rounds due to the larger amounts of propellant and the longer barrel. By Rifle standards the .223 is a small round.
So if your racist, and kill white people, one can only assume you are racist against white people right?
What does "held racist" mean? Like didn't like white people? Asians? Blacks?
