    You have to be a fucking nutter to own a fucking gun!

    Of course, gun lovers might want to argue that they have more nutters per 100,000 of the population than anyone else in the world, hence the much greater gun violence.

    Hmmmm, more nutters in the US than anywhere else…..

    Let me think about that for a moment…….

    :unsure:

    Offences fishpaste?  You mean illegally owning a gun?

    You poor apprentice. Try not to operate in here above your pay-grade.

    Let’s talk about deaths pasty-boy.

     

    A graphic showing an international comparison of gun-related killings as a percentage of all homicides in each country. The US leads with nearly 79% of all homicides occurring with guns.

    The hard core gun owner will obfuscate, mis-direct, confuse, avoid the question, insult, cajole, defend with ‘what about what about’…..anything to protect their fucking second amendment and their belief they are protecting themselves.

    More guns means more gun violence. It’s fucking simple but too fucking simple for gun-lovers

    The hard-core gun owner will never accept the truth.

    Sorry Andy pandy I will stick with my American partner here. MOST CASES after the fact have been proven as mental instability. Including covid lockdowns some causes, depression, substance abuse. Normal people loosing it. Family disconnection.friends. etc.

    The Texas one blows my mind. Death penalty be to sweet for him easy way out or life..no parole. Live off the taxpayers for free. Makes me sick. They have rights in prison. What about the victims?

    So andy pandy u look up The different States and look into gun laws? As I said each are different like prostitution. Amazing when you do real research.

    And yes what about Berlin? We talking copy cat issues? U.s.a. fault?

    And kiwi Trump been out of office. Do your research. Biden to weak to come out and speak about it as those organizations contributed to his campaign. Lol.

    Get a tattoo. Love America!

    Only 4% of the violence that occurs in the United States can be attributed to people with mental illness, yet when incidents of gun violence occur, they are almost immediately associated with psychiatric illnesses.

    Try and make an attempt to state your sources Linda, otherwise it’s just speculation on your part driven by your susceptibility to mis-information campaigns, and you wouldn’t want your mate puds trying to patheticially shoot you down, would you?

    In a landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1993, researchers found that having a gun in the home was linked with nearly three times higher odds that someone would be killed at home by a family member or intimate acquaintance. Studies using more recent data have come to the same conclusion. In a 2019 study, researchers found that states with high levels of household gun ownership have more domestic gun homicides than other states do.

    In a 2017 study published in Science, Philip Levine and his colleague Robin McKnight found that where gun sales increased after Sandy Hook (as indicated by increases in background checks), rates of accidental death rose, too. They estimated that 60 additional people, including 20 children, were killed in the aftermath of Sandy Hook because of the excess guns people purchased.

    In 2015, David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, and Sara Solnick, an economist at the University of Vermont, analyzed national government surveys involving more than 14,000 people and reported that guns are used for self-protection in less than 1 percent of all crimes that take place in the presence of a victim. They also found that people were more likely to be injured after threatening attackers with guns than they were if they had called the police or run away.

    States in the top quartile of firearm ownership had a 64.6% (p<0.001) higher incidence rate of domestic firearm homicide than states in the lowest quartile. – American Journal of Preventive Medicine

    Scientists who conduct research on gun violence overwhelmingly agree that firearms make society more dangerous, according to a recent poll conducted by David Hemenway of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

    Individuals in possession of a gun were 4.46 (P < .05) times more likely to be shot in an assault than those not in possession. Charles C. Branas, PhD,<sup>corresponding author</sup> Therese S. Richmond, PhD, CRNP, Dennis P. Culhane, PhD, Thomas R. Ten Have, PhD, MPH, and Douglas J. Wiebe, PhD

     

    The data goes on, ad nauseum

    Conclusion,

    The hard-core gun owner will never accept the truth.

    Sign with "Don't Litter" sign-style outline of person throwing gun into trash
    And here is both the terrible tragedy of America’s gun habit and the best hope to end it. In virtually every way that can be measured, owning a firearm makes the owner, the owner’s family, and the people around them less safe. The hard-core gun owner will never accept this truth. But the 36 percent in the middle—they may be open to it, if they can be helped to perceive it.
