New Zealand’s population is 5 million.

So the US had ten times the rate of gun deaths per capita in 2020 than New Zealand had in 2016.

Different demographics

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7042a6.htm

Black males have a rate of 34x that of white males per 100k. Those stats serious skew our stats upwards.

I don't see many black mass murderers shooting kids in schools.

Most mass shooters are POC. Mass shootings defined as 4 or more people hit by gunfire. That community suffers an outsized portion of violence.

If we want to make comparisons, we need to make comparisons to counties with similar demographics. New Zeeland doesn't look like the USA.

This is racist BS— you are saying Black people are inherently more likely to shoot people? Go to hell

That's the play book. First they say you can't compare because the US is larger, but if you point out rates in the EU as a whole or look at per capita numbers, they fall back on 'different demographics.' Push enough and you get to pure racism

This is where we get to the “facts are racist” point of the debate.

Pointing out the assaults on black bodies isn't racist.

It's not acceptable that their plight is ignored. You can't be an ally for social justice if you don't recognize this.

After the shooting, the Tennessee legislature again doubles down on militarizing schools and FAILED ideas about having more guns in schools.



And anyone who tries to suggest anything more sensible gets expelled from the legislature.

Some believe that gun ownership is the cause of school shootings, but per capita gun ownership rates have been high throughout US history. In colonial times, upwards of 50-65% of all Americans owned and maintained a useable firearm in their private homes as discussed in the above link.

Yet school shootings were extremely rare to nonexistent until the 1980s. It's obviously not the availability of guns that is the cause for the recent rise in school shootings; it's social alienation and the corrosion of any feelings of community, which are ultimately driven by disintegrating social trust, and a ruling class that has become antagonistic toward those they rule over.

The data clearly shows that higher rates of gun ownership in the US has also led to significantly higher rates of gun homicides, suicides and accidental deaths. More guns IS NOT the answer, WILL NEVER BE the answer. Sensible regulation is the answer.

It seems as if the manifesto was overstated.

We have to buy them back. We have to use our resources to pay the money to get rid of this curse and send the gun industry packing. Go ply your violent wares somewhere else.

Good. Tell me how you're going to stop men from abusing their wives.
Tell me how you're going to stop bank robberies
How you're going to stop speeding?
Are you going to stop kidnapping?


There's no one answer that stops every single crime in the world. Are common sense laws that you can put in place to help prevent it?. Punishments for those involved.

If you want a diet, you need diet and exercise. You don't give up after one day because you didn't lose 50 lb overnight. Or you don't give up because you had one piece of cake. Too many at a birthday party one time. No you continue slow and steady doing the race.

Well. A good first step would be destroying guns used in commission of a crime. As of now many jurisdictions auction them off.

I LOVE this idea! Get them out of circulation. Biden should make EO. If police unions balked, I’d be fine if Fed’s reimburse them for proposed cost.

Just stop.

Such a hateful statement.
Thankfully, the shooter is dead. Pray for the children and the families.

We know the drill. Thoughts and prayers always and forever.

Regardless of your training, it is still hard to march into the direct line of gunfire. Self preservation is strong. That police officer at the front did well.

Despite training many police officers seek to kill when their life is potentially threatened or in danger rather than be killed. That is human nature.

The abundance of guns means that almost every situation can be scary. I am not American. I live in a coutnry that works hard to get guns off the street and where citizens can't carry guns and yet still there are shootings or danger. Honestly, I could never live in the USA at this point. There are just too many guns and too many people who will us them when under any perceived threat.

There's 400 million of them.

Beyond even that, it would be a great money making opportunity. Print them for $50 each and sell them to .gov for $250 each!
