Give me a break. False equivalency. Massive false equivalency.Well - Denmark has very strict gun laws and still they have similar issues: psychotic young adults shooting up gathering areas, downplaying incidents by not calling them terrorism, etc.
Copenhagen mall shooting motive likely not terrorism, police say
Authorities filed preliminary charges of murder and attempted murder against a 22-year-old Danish man.www.cbsnews.com
Ask her if she is willing to take thr course with you prior to owning it so you can both be more comfortable with it being in the home. Then make sure that thing is safe and secured.
It’s very equivalent, young adult male gets firearm, goes to a place where there are plenty of targets and starts taking them out. How is that not equivalent?
Ok?
You need a snickers.
Rush and Hannity and Tucker and the like did/do the same thing, thus the idea that no matter what, libs are worse, becomes impenetrably cemented.
One shooting in 28 years. Hardly a "problem" like you're making it out to be.Well - Denmark has very strict gun laws and still they have similar issues: psychotic young adults shooting up gathering areas, downplaying incidents by not calling them terrorism, etc.

Denmark has 5.8 million citizens; USA has 329.5 million citizens, so about 1.7% the size of the USA. So one would expect 98.3% less incidents in Denmark than the US, I’d imagine that’s probably not too far off.
Oh, so now the amount of deaths is a factor in mass shootings? A mass shooting is a mass shooting is a mass shooting.Two victims and the shooter, plus five officers.2015 Copenhagen shootings - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
We've had over 250 mass shootings so far in 2022. I'd take Denmark's problem far more than the one we face in the USA. And, Denmark has taken this seriously by creating ways to make this harder and we only offer thoughts and prayers. I wouldn't be surprised if they go back and do even more now that this has happened vs shrugging.
im not arguing one side or the other; in fact I do agree, if Denmark had a 2nd amendment like ours, they’re numbers would be higher. I guess my point for those is that it does happen elsewhere, when everyone says it does not. Even strict gun control laws will not prevent all mass shootings; it may lessen them. Identifying these deranged people and doing something about them is a more immediate term solution that no one can seem to solve (most mass shooters leave bread crumbs all over before committing their act) and it would be an easier solve than attempting to overturn the 2nd amendment.
Ok, but just remember when you use the numbers ( 250 ) plus the " mass shooting " term, don't get defensive when someone blurts out " Chicago ", because those gang related offenses are what skews the numbers...
I guess my thought is if we, as a nation, took shootings seriously even gang-related gun crimes would start to fall off. Not sure why some want to say but Chicago or Baltimore or Los Angeles and think those sorts of gun issues are ok or fall outside of anything we can try to improve upon.
I read a thing that said the USA is number 1 in mass shootings by a mile but if you removed 5 cities we are something like 195th out of 198.
Can you please post the link? More died in Uvalde, Texas than the entire UAE or Japan last year.
Oh…so you’re one of those who think we should continue to get ripped off by insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Other countries have nice things, like cheap healthcare, very few gun related deaths, less crime, and a helluva lot of freedom. We have none of the first 3, and talk to women about the last one.
Does shooting a bunch of people even make you famous anymore? When you're just one of several hundred every year I think you'd get lost in the crowd.
Is this another one of those made up statistics that you can't support?
Sorry, someone beat you to this false narrative earlier in the thread. Try and keep up.

I'm asking if this is more bogus data that you claim is true but can't corroborate. You know, like when you said Davenport was #1 in violent crime in the country in the 90s, but they never were. And you lost a bet but won't abide by the terms.
So the answer to my question is yes.PolitiFact - Is the United States third in murders and are outlier cities to blame? No.
A viral meme shared on social media following the Parkland, Fla., shooting claimed the United States has the third-highe
This appears to reference it. It appears the claim is False however not for the reason I would have imagined. When you look at it by population the US is no where near 3rd and is actually in the 90s. Removing them may very well make it go up but we are not 3rd. Sounds like it was a well circulated thing I saw, though incorrect.
Feel free to look above. I was slightly off with my numbers but it was well circulated. The incorrect part was that we are third. (And thus thr final number was not as significantly different)
Hey dipshit, I said I read it which I clearly did. I didn't say I checked the math to make sure it was sound. Cry more.
Or, they just avoid the unpleasant facts/events, eliminating the need for the “But libs are worse!” defense.
Just watched the news conference. Both local and state police were involved with him. A family member reported to police he was going to kill, but after investigating, nothing happened
Probably falls under the category of someone being dangerous. But not doing anything illegal.
