@deacon6221 They did. The UK has had 4 mass shootings in 22 years. 4.
Ill speak on the UK the most, as its the country i know, But Australia to my knowledge had a gun culture, but has all but disappeared since 1996
The UK has had 30 homicides by shooting, in a year span from 2019 to 2020 (and this statistic includes air rifles, as far as i know)
The police have fatally shot one person.
I have never seen a gun in the UK, except when i went to a shooting range with my air rifle, and when i saw a farmer in wales come back from hunting a fox. Both times were double barrelled shotguns.
Other than farmers, who need them to kill the genocide machines called foxes, and hunters, who keep deer population under control, and toffs who hunt pheasants and live in 1952, nobody leally owns guns in the UK. Of course, you'd bring up criminals getting illegal firearms, but this is quite difficult in the UK, so the type of criminals are not the sort of people to threaten random people on the street.
And please don't call it a gun culture. It makes it seem something innocent and creative, like the car culture. What it is is paranoid idiots with firearms

@Euripides Feldman III I agree with most of your points, TBH. But the only reason you NEED guns in the US is because the government didn't tackle the problem as soon as it arose, and now the nation is addicted to them. Somebody should not be forced to have to own a weapon to ensure their and there families safety from other humans like its the 13th century.
The only people who truly need guns are Farmers, Hunters, and the people who like to shit in the woods with bears. The rest are all the cause and symptom of a society that refuses to move on, and would rather put a 250 year old squiggly bit of ink over the safety of its citizens. The main problem, other than the vast amounts of money Guns make, is the fact that guns specifically designed to kill large amounts of people in the shortest period of time (you may argue this is every new gun in history, but im talking about fully auto rifles here.
The thing that pisses me off the most is the people who give up and say it wont work without even attempting anything.
We didn't map the world, get to the south pole, climb Everest, land on the moon, break the sound barrier because "it wouldn't work"
I don't expect there to be vast changes overnight, but there has to be some sort of change, just smaller things over time.
The story of the NHS s one that i wis h more of you yanks paid attention too, because not only is your healthcare fed for one, but it shows how even massive overnight changes in the way a country runs a major part of itself can go mostly smoothly. I just hope your nation can sort something out, because its honestly tiring hearing about another shooting every few weeks.
