The link had all of them.
Meanwhile, the study by Adam Lankford, the one which purports that the US experiences 1/3 of all mass shootings? To this day, he refuses to reveal the source data for examination.
To be clear I'm not totally against gun ownership.
In 3 decades I have lived in Scotland there has been 1 mass shooting, that I'm aware of.
There is just not the access to guns like in the US.
It seems obvious to me that the US has a problem with mass shootings. Would you not agree?
I do think there are obvious problems with an arms manufacture industrial complex/ lobbying for pro gun ownership legislation for example. And with gun control generally, and weapons getting into the hands of dangerous people.
Do you agree that compared to nations with similar living standards and cultural norms. Eg "Western" nations. The US has a higher rate of mass shooting?
My answer and I think the honest answer to that question is yes.
Can you see why people believe that higher rate of mass shooting correlates with higher rates of gun ownership?
