I live in a country where if a cop, let alone a criminal, shoots his/her gun it makes headline news -- we have strict gun laws and as such we have 1:800,000 pop to gun deaths ratio. It's 29:100,000 in the USA...8x29 = 232:800,000 for perspective reasons.
Normalizing mass murder and mass shootings because it's "everyones right to bare arms" is insanity. Clearly the need to bare arms doesn't work because the gun crime rate is thru the roof (worse than some 3rd world countries).
Statistically too from what I understand is that a mass shooting is only reported as a mass shooting if its 4+ victims. So all those 2-3 victim shootings arent reported as a mass shooting. Which is kinda crazy statistics bending since that's where the higher volume/bulk of mass shootings occur.
At current rates its almost 1:1 4+ victim shootings a day at minimum in the USA. Clearly a need for more guns.
This current nut bag in LA obviously needed 43+ firearms for self defence.
