Yet, most of their firearms are obtained legally. Odd. In your mind, how do you gather the 18 year old Uvalde shooter would have purchased his guns if it wasn't legal for him to do so? Lots of high schoolers with arms dealers on speed dial in your neck of the woods?

All of you "mass neggers" on this topic (no racist) -- are definitely not advancing civil debate.  I enjoy civil discussion.  This is a complicated issue.

There are a lot of very smart people on this forum.  It would be great if we could engage a bit.

The non-murderers have a constitutional right to defend themselves from criminals (who assuredly will be armed regardless of what sort of law is invoked).

Why would anyone engage with you? You’re are trolling at worst or disingenuous at best. You have shown you would rather have people needlessly die than have an actual discussion. Maybe try suggesting something to stop the problem. We are the only first world country that has this issue. Coincidence? Nah.

Thanks.  I believe that the stats you guys all cite are heavily influenced by gangbanger-type stuff.  Look at big city shooting violence.  They are criminals and DGAF about laws.

Take out gun homicides committed in connection with another crime (drug deals etc.).
We still have a homicide rate that eclipses other first-world countries.
The guns are the difference. It’s not hard to figure out.
“The U.S. gun death rate was 10.6 per 100,000 people in 2016, the most recent year in the study, which used a somewhat different methodology from the CDC. That was far higher than in countries such as Canada (2.1 per 100,000) and Australia (1.0), as well as European nations such as France (2.7), Germany (0.9) and Spain (0.6).”
Every one of those countries has crime, gangs, etc. What they DON’T have is freely available firearms to every person with a pulse.

I’m also a gun owner. It’s why I’m begging for changes, ANYTHING, to slow down the needless deaths. But if I have to choose some toys, or another person dying, it’s an easy fucking decision. Quit jerking off in front of your gun cabinet and start actually having a discussion about COMMON FUCKING SNESE SOLUTIONS to stem the tide.

 

Or keep trolling. I think we all know what your answer is.

Gangs are everywhere on Earth. Violent crime happens everywhere. Criminals are everywhere. Mental illness exists in every corner on this planet. We are not a special case for ANY of those.

We are absolutely a special case when it comes to firearm access, especially amongst our peers. We are also a special case, as @Brisketexan pointed out, in murder rate.

So why do we continue down this path knowing there is a solution out there that has a far greater chance of success than the shit we're doing now?

Why do I need a gun? 

I am an American with civil liberties.  I and my family live in a rural area, many miles away from any law enforcement.  I am a licensed hunter.

This. Our murder rate is wildly higher. All other factors exist to some degree (some are greater, some are lesser) in those other developed countries. There’s one big factor that’s different.
Yes, it’s the guns.

I have actually destroyed one of mine. Bought in my youth, and served no purpose in my cabinet. Plasma cutter turned it into 20 pieces and then sold for scrap. Only way I could be 100% certain it couldn’t be used for nefarious purposes. I hope my hunting rifles don’t meet the same fate, but if that is the only way, so be it. People like you are not helping your own cause.

Many dead kids have resulted from the constitutional rights of Americans. If we limited the 2nd amendment kids in Uvalde would still be alive. So why do you need a gun again?

Look, y'all, it's really this simple for flatty, daltx, and all of their ilk: these deaths are just the cost of them retaining their right to own whatever gun they want, in whatever quantity they want, to be used as they want, up to and including shooting government officials.  This cost is entirely acceptable to them, and you have no argument which will move them from this position.  They'll only change when they get sick of the carnage.  I don't think that will happen anytime soon.
