Just read this news (only title tho) where a teenager murdered his sister over Christmas gifts.

I’m starting to think, as a land, USA is cursed. Every hour American military complex exports death all around the world. And these bullets and bombs are used by the literal evil mfers against weak victims.

The continuous death of innocent American children by psychos who have easy access to guns is an ironic and twisted equilibrium of fate against due to the greed of darker-than-charcoal-stone-heart Americans.

Nicholas Cage’s “Lord of war” sums it up.

And my sincere condolences to victims’ heartbroken families.

      The total number of blocked firearms sales in the US taken in isolation is irrelevant. The absolute firearms ownership is about 31% in some EU countries, less in others. Yet the total and proportional number of shootings and mass shootings is so completely different. Here we see that it’s which proportion of the population that owns a gun. Just check, compare and contrast the actual requirements to purchase a gun within the UK or the EU with those in the US. You really don’t have to work very hard to find the comparisons. The issue to hand would be that if similar requirements were applied in the US, the number of people declined a firearm would likely double, but also, those in lawful possession would need to give up their firearms. The definition, the checks undertaken and the ongoing assessme for responsible gun ownership is different in the UK and the EU.
