The hilarious thing about gun crazy USA is you don’t have any country that could invade you guys easy, so don’t need guns to protect your country your selves. No country could attack from the east or west coast. From Canada would be super hard due to the harsh winter and landscape. From Mexico you have a dessert protecting you. How about you send all the guns to Ukraine and Poland, they need them....
- Heard about the civil war? :)inv
- Pfft. Civil War.
They're saving up guns for Red Dawn.Continuity - One thing you can say is that if there ever was a "Red Dawn" type scenario it would be a total shitshow for the invading army.yuekit
- Literally every small rural town would be like fighting a mini WW3 with farmers making their last stand like at the end of the Scarface movie.yuekit

It was just last weekend I was wondering when the next mass shooting would happen. Until Americans start electing people that actually want to change things, I can't wait until the next mass shooting, the new American Sport! Godbless! See ya then!

Was chatting to my workmate today and I mentioned the recent shooting at the primary school.
He'd said he saw something on the news this morning but thought it was the other mass murder that happened earlier on.Mad that it's so common that it just gets a 'meh' reaction from people living outside the US.
- More like watching a horror movie - no control over the events, you can only observe in disbeliefgrafician
- 20 years ago we made Bowling for Columbine an international success. What else can you do?uan
- You can never ban guns in the US, it's part of their identity...grafician
- It's a sick society, so owning a gun makes sense there.PhanLo
- Trust me when I say that for many or most Americans owning a gun is not sensiblemonospaced
- It's probably the same as in rest of world. in big cities you can call the cops, no need for own guns. otherwise you need the guns to protect yourself.uan
- Probably cos it happens so often in USA we bored of the media coverage afterwards, the same boring debate about gun laws in USA....shapesalad
- Maybe if we never got so much US news we'd be better off.PhanLo

- Sure, as guns were readily available. But what is the number of suicides, where method is removed?ETM
- I'll bet far less people jumped and drowned to death in landlocked areas. Not pro-gun by any means, but the graph goes to some degree of a confirmation bias.ETM
- ^ You're not wrong. Engineered statistics. Good drowning analogy. But I feel having a gun to hand when feeling low definitely would increase the chances lotsHayzilla
- Total number for 2019 was around 48,000. I don't really see showing a statistic for gun deaths as any sort of confirmation bias.BuddhaHat
- There would be the potential for confirmation bias were you to infer something from the statistic.BuddhaHat
- Also that 48,000ish figure was US suicides for 2019 from CDC website.BuddhaHat
- I bet gun companies wish they could sell more to depressed people.PhanLo

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona’s hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.- Brian Bilston

I just told my 3rd grader about the shooting. She replied:
"Yeah. We had a lockdown drill today. There aren't very many hiding places in our room. The good ones all get taken in like 3 seconds."
Then she left.

- The levels of fucked-up-ness go deep.Morning_star
- I feel ashamed when my children have to do active shoot drills. This should not be a normalized issue. Boggles my mind.mathinc

- This is tragic. The conservatives in my town want more of this, cops, security, guns IN CLASSROOMS, instead of even the mention of gun control in the US.monospaced
