Ah yes, because learning about how guns work and firing one makes you instantly into a homicidal maniac! Better not play those videos games! I hear they make you violent.
Edit: Just to prove the point though… British Virgin Islands is worse than America. Must be because those laws are so effective… Not because of the neighbors. Not at all.
Under the “crown’s” rule… and has a significantly higher homicide/gun violence/death rates. Almost like the law alone doesn’t matter if the location is terrible. Proximity to central/south American is a problem.
… more people have been shot to death in America than the island’s entire population! Using per capita on such wildly different population sizes is disingenuous - and This is still clearly due to proximity to America. Where do you think those guns were made? Where do you think the ammo was made?
Using per capita on such wildly different population sizes is disingenuous
Using raw numbers is many times worse than comparing per capita. It’s not like we’re talking about an n<10,000. They’re statistically relevant.

Ah yes! Must be America’s fault. That’s why the numbers get worse the further away from America you go. Totally, we project through more than 8 countries to affect Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia. Man… Good thing EU has dozens of countries to go through in order to get to their problem countries like Nigeria, and SA.
Somehow other countries that never had gun ranges in their schools are not having the problems America has with guns.
I wonder why! 🤔

What are you talking about?

They’ve had six shooting deaths in this entire year.
America has had 35,000
Pretty sure the problem is proximity to America. Where do you think those guns in central/south America are coming from?
You’re not looking at per capita rates are you? Way to drop the ball there.
their population is ~32,000, USA is about 11,000x bigger. 6*11000 = 66000, or about double the American rate!
