Fuck the United States. Only place in the world this fucking shit happens regularly , because a bunch of small dick Republicans won't give up their guns.
Careful there, lemmy has a bunch of gun nut weirdos
Do you post on skinhead social because Gun Control Is Rooted in Disarming Black Americans
oh do kindly fuck off.
Libertarian reactionaries in general.
exactly 8, it seems
Well Technically... Of the 150 plus democracies on the planet only three have a constitutional right to firearms. The USA, Mexico and Guatemala... Of those Mexico actually has actually fairly heavy restrictions on what firearms are covered by the Constitution and which are restricted to police and military use.
So realistically this sort of thing happens in the US and Guatemala... If it is any consolation the US is flagging way behind Guatemala in gun related deaths when you adjust for population?
Well technically, Czech Republic had a constitutional amendment regarding gun rights passed in 2021.
Oh did they? I will have to amend my notes! Good catch!
It is definitely the person who pulled the trigger's fault, but I don't understand why we would want minors whose brains haven't fully developed to have point-and-kill weapons.
You point out how awful these kids are, and then post in support of making it easier for them to kill. That's strange to me.
Although I guess it makes sense, because you also seem to imply that deaths aren't more likely to occur if guns are involved. I just can't agree with you there.
Again, this shit only happens in the US. Guns are a big part of the problem. Don't be fucking dense.

(Note how this doesn't work if they have a gun)
Oh?
You’re sure (guarantee) that this would have been a stabbing? What makes you such an expert?
in multiple separate comments you have demonstrated a total inability to think beyond half a layer of depth. you are out of your element and have a great deal to learn. I truly hope that one day you do.
So we're just going to keep repeating this exact conversation every single time this happens. Because other countries don't have systems, or people with fingers.
“i think i’ll be a mouthpiece today, that’s all i’m good for”
"There is no way to prevent this from happening" says only country in which this regularly happens.
It’s actually more like 40%-50% of the country though.
Dude I lean center left...it's not just Republicans that care about gun rights you dumbass. LOT of gun owners also are democrats. Stop trying to one side an issue. Thenissue isn't guns it's literally the owners and yea I'll be damned if I give up my firearms cause you want me to. My guns stay locked up in my safe at all times. My kids know they aren't toys and can seriously hurt someone. I keep the keys to that safe with me.
Secondly taking away legal and lawful gun owners guns will NOT stop people who don't follow the law from obtaining guns and doing bad shit with them. Grow the fuck up.
