Available guns can make it more easy, but we also sometimes see other forms, like explosives, poison, etc. I live in a country where guns are heavily restricted and that obviously helps, but it’s just the tip of t iceberg. Bullying, extremism, hate speech, stress, medical care, therapy. Those are more important IMO
Exactly, if a country is filled with rocks there will be more rock related deaths but a country that is filled with rocks but is effectively governed and educated will have fewer.
I imagine people are going to claim me to be against gun control but that isn’t true, I’m for reasonable gun control. License, register educate and own a tank for all I fuckin care, a big part of the issue is they’re less controlled than my what 3000lb Honda Civic that could run through a crowd at 100+ and do the same damage. Most people aren’t going to use their car as a weapon because it’s attached to them, the same would apply to guns.

What other country, at least Western country, has, per capita, explosives or poisonings or things like that at the level of murder as the U.S.?
Third world shitholes maybe. I’m sure it sucks to live in Syria.
Ooof bud goddamn.
