So what countries have more mass shootings than the US?
Also I don't believe John Lott is an unbiased source of information.
I want to see his complimentary suite at the next NRA convention. :D
John Lott doesn't pray at the Cathedral, so of course he's biased.

No. We are talking about these crimes of passions which can be religious, politic, or affective. Usually done by 1 person. We are NOT talking about the drug/money crimes done by gangs/criminal organizations.
These people are usually isolated and don't have a network to give them the weapons in countries where firearms are heavily regulated.
You still did the amalgamation.
With an axe, a Japanese saber; or a flail (yay!)... You will kill much more slowly. Mostly: You know you may even end up facing the police which is armed. Finally you would even end up in abandonning the little project (planned long in advance or not) considering the required "effort".
Days or months later you may also figure out by yourself it was a terrible idea, eventually.
But when you have such instant easy access... Ok ?
We are talking about that. You were trying to restrict it further, to just schools.

You're citing a literal propaganda outlet that's disguising itself as a reputable source. Took me about 30 seconds reading the paper for my flags to go off and another 30 seconds on Google to confirm
But we both know you didn't read the paper or research the publishing organization or the author. You picked the first nice sounding source that fit your bias.
I'm citing someone who uses actual data and revises if errors are pointed out. I couldn't care less about your red flags, and note that your 30 seconds on Google weren't presented here.
I "picked that article" because I knew it existed and have seen it before. It's almost as if those of us in the gun culture are well aware of John Lott.
