more virtue signalling by the lefties.

the same lefties that have cheered on 100,000 ukranians as they died for nothing.

why are the left such hypocrites.

human life only means something to them when they can pump their own ego Cry

thank god trump will end the genocidal lefties

I know, right? Fancy getting all sooky over a few mass shootings. Trust the leftards.

The same leftards who complained about your Stalingrad solution in Gaza. What a bunch of hypocrites, eh?

But If you don't mind, I'm curious. Is every issue defined by leftards versus retards?

How did you feel back when you were a neocon, cheering on your endless wars?

Ever get the feeling you've been farmed?

Ah this is why you test the weapons. Maybe write to the manufacturer with customer feed-back. Would you suggest less propellant and wider calibre to peel back the lid? That's a better sort of door-knock, too.

Water melons are better, they explode but the bits can be eaten.

They're all pink inside, Sir.

Coconuts are okay too. You can use the hair once you've eaten their white flesh.

Guns do prevent deaths .

'Pay attention. We're using the F88 Austyr rifle. You squeeze the trigger gently to fire a slow bullet. This will bounce harmlessly off the enemy's skin, and skin lotion will ease any discomfort for them. If they keep firing, then shoot again until they get bored and walk away. Everyone will have a safe and enjoyable day'.

The South American countries listed have links to drugs and so money for guns. This may not happen in other poor countries. Even with the drug problems, people go to US with its gun deaths, for the money. Does Eoin say gun deaths don't matter?
The argument for guns means the US with the highest gun-ownership rate must be the safest country. yeah, right.

And the argument that more guns means more gun deaths is invalid, if it were true then theUS having the most civilian owned guns ought to have the highest rate of gun deaths, which clearly it does not.

You are still ignoring socio-economic disadvantage and inequality.[u][u] The US does have the highest rate of gun deaths [/u][/u]among wealthy countries, even allowing for 50% suicides by gun.

You thought you could ignore poverty - and inequality within and between nations, when discussing levels of violence in communities, so you asked the inane question: "are poor nations more moral than rich ones"?.

Of course not: poor countries with high inequality have even worse violence stats than the US.

Assault Rifle Legality by State 2024

Yes, assault rifles are legal to own in the United States. The United States has some of the loosest gun laws in the world. Therefore, there are lots of types of weapons you can own in the United States, and an assault rifle is definitely one of them. At the same time, assault rifles have not always been legal in the United States.

In 1994, Congress passed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which made it basically illegal to manufacture or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon. For several years during the 1990s and early 2000s, this assault weapon ban was in place in the United States. The ban was allowed to expire in 2004 without being renewed, and assault rifles once again became legal in the United States. At the same time, if you are interested in owning an assault rifle, you need to take a look at the laws of your state.

You surprised me, l spend a lot of time in India where inequality is possibly at its highest and the level of violence is low, in fact I spend considerable time among the most disadvantaged, and they are always cheerful and friendly people. Might be the climate.

Inequality in India is more separated than in, eg, higher income countries like Mexico or the US where poor and rich are living in highy urbanized nations;
Mexico and US urbanization rate is c.80%, India is around 35%.

Meaning millions of people - the bulk of the population living in absolute poverty in rural India, never see - aren't aware of - the extreme wealth of the Maharajahs

Nevertheless, the chances of killing a greedy health insurance CEO, and getting away with it, are much reduced without the aid of ANY type of gun.

Social conditions aren't simplistic. Indians had civil disobedience where South Americans are likely to riot. Indians are vegetarian and S Am. has high meat consumption, affecting behaviour.
Ths US has highest gun rate and high gun deaths rate. It's not a simple proof but degrades the theory that guns are good for health.

Try a knife, particularly a stiletto or a slurbow, or an ordinary bow, many bows are more powerful than many guns and have a greater rate of discharge.

British commandos used bows for silent killing, particularly of sentries in WWII.
