    Countries that allow guns have massively more gun deaths, that shouldn’t be surprising

    Edit: it’s worth noting that the US has had more mass shootings this year than the entire history of Europe apparently, according to that list.

        I’m not arguing that fact, my point is just that more guns will always result in more mass shootings. Guns should not be a right.

          guns will always result in more mass shootings

          Then why aren’t there any other mass shootings in the Czech Republic?

            Considering that mass shootings aren’t a common thing in the Western world as a whole, that isn’t really relevant. One is more than most countries in the West have had in decades.

      Absolutely. I just think that it’s silly to draw attention to guns being easily attainable in this context, when there have been so many more mass shootings in other European countries.
