So are we talking murder rates or mass shooting rates?
Seems to me you are cherry picking
FYI less than 1% of all murders in the US occur in mass shooting events
And you always seem to forget that most Americans don't give a shit what happens in other countries
Not mass shootings. Just shootings. We are talking about gun control in this thread. So I don't want to include suicides and I also don't think it makes sense to include non-gun murders.
And then you have the fact that 70-80% of victims of our shootings, and the shootings in Britain and Australia, are criminals engaged in the criminal lifestyle. And of the other murders, many of those are the friends and family of the criminals.
So if you are not involved in criminal activity you are unlikely to be shot.
Yep, unlikely, but you still have 20% of murders where the victim isn't a criminal.
Most of that 20% the victim is killed by family/lover so they probably know they are in dangerous situation.
Not necessarily. 90% of all murder is committed by criminals with long histories of crime and violence......including domestic murder.....we aren't talking about normal people ...
