Well regulated militia strikes again
A dad shot and killed his three children in Ohio.
They were ages 3, 4 and 7.
In 2023 so far:
Deaths due to gun violence 19,519
Mass shootings 295
Children under 18 murdered 810
This won’t stop on its own.
It’s the guns.

But guns make it a lot easier. So they are a massive problem.
@wauz
Take the guns away -> How are gun nuts gonna shoot people?
Everyone who claims guns are no the (or at least a) problem is part of the problem.
I am talking about legal purchase opportunities of course.

I've heard that so many times. I live in Germany, and everybody seems to be scared about guns, though many exist. I don't own any handgun nor rifle, most gun owners have several, but we don't have many cases of homicide at all. Some knife attacks, but the big difference is, that fighting in general has become very unpopular. The real difference is the aggression level. That is coincidal with better home economy and general level of support. Our social system provides health care for everyone, with only a few drop-outs. And so on.
I think, that correlates, while gun ownership and violence does not correlate.
