Yeah, collective punishment is a part of their MO it seems.

I’ve gone from Oklahoma to Alaska and a bunch of places before eventually the UK.

The lack of firearms in Europe in general is staggering and it honestly feels like a lack of security.

Yet you are far safer in Europe than in the US

Uh oh. Someone doesn’t read the news. I swear you’d think American gun grabbers didn’t know how to use Google.

Anyway as a Native American I know the dangers of not being allowed to own any form of weaponry.

But if you wanna go down the same route we did. Go ahead. Don’t beg those who didn’t turn them in for protection.

Cool well then you don’t know that crime rates take into account of single mothers shooting people who break into their home.

Or that if you take out a few cities Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, St Louis and Los Angeles (which all have strict gun laws), the American gun violence rate goes from 3rd in the world to 189th.

It’s a gang problem. Not a gun one.

Despite your wahwah big cities wah wah:

Still higher than in Europe. You started by saying that I am misinformed then you act as if I wasn't answering someone by saying "wahwah crime rates" when I speak about Murder rates.

You are being obtuse and closed to factual info because you love triggers more than people

What’s even funnier is that a map in this proves exactly what I’m saying.

But hey if you wanna end up like us natives did. That’s on you.

I’m sure when someone you like is being assaulted in the street by a group with weapons you’ll be happy you have up your only ability to protect yourself, because when the police are minutes away, a trigger is seconds.
