Reply to comment by bigfeeetz in anti-gun right people, whats your perspective of guns? by bigfeeetz

And simply put, that is proven false. Gun violence is all but nonexistent in many European countries.

The United States itself is by FAR the world's largest supplier of guns. You are saying we cannot solve a problem that we are the largest contributor to.

What lies? That guns are the leading cause of death among children and teens? Or how about if you take out homicides related to firearms the US is exponentially closer to the homicide rate of the European countries that have restricted access to firearms?

European countries average around 1 homicide per 100k population, the US currently averages around 5 per 100k population, and without firearms the US would be down around 2 homicides per 100k population.

The fuck are you talking about? You think some random offhand statements about the exact capabilities means that the government as a monolith don't understand that guns are deadly?

Firearms are deadly. All of them. Never point a gun at something you don't intend to destroy.

Again, firearms are the leading cause of death among children and teens in America.

Guns are instant and assumed to be relatively painless. That's why they are the preffered method for suicide. Same reason they are the preferred method for homicide. So having increased access to guns does increase the suicide rate.
