@raymondpert As much as I'm not a fan of any restrictions, I do think that demanding people to have at least shown sufficient proficiency and gun etiquette, knowledge of safety rules and not being known for domestic violence or convicted of violent crimes is reasonable to demand.
Still the overlooked Propblem nationwide is the #ViolenceCulture that spreads #PropagandaOfTheDeed and supports #StochasticTerrorism in the form of #AdvancedSuicides.

@kkarhan @raymondpert While I won't entirely fight the stochastic terrorist arguments...I'd point to every other country having much fewer mass shootings than the U.S. (Short of maybe active warzones?).
Like, they cited some websites, but...every other country also has access to those same websites.
@AT1ST @raymondpert depends.
By sheer numbers, tue #WarOnDrugs in #Mexico and the #USA is more lethal than the wars in #Iraq and #Afghanistan were.
Again: The problem are people harming people, not that they use a firearm in lieu of a bladed weapon or explosives or whatever.
@kkarhan @raymondpert The problem you're ignoring is the effectiveness of a given weapon.
It's not that you *can't* use a bladed weapon, but it's that they're less likely to be reached with one, nor less likely to be more fatal.
And there's a reason that the U.S. put in security measures after one day of people using passenger airplanes as their weapon of choice; now it happens significantly less.
@LunaDragofelis @AT1ST @raymondpert and even then most of it is #SecurityTheater since underpaid Seccies don't make shit safe, but Captains refusing to takeoff when some Karen assaults the crew...

@kkarhan @LunaDragofelis @raymondpert That's ignoring the point; they took a few security theatre measures, but they *also* took *actual* additional security measures too.
The U.S. doesn't even get security theatre in response to mass shootings; probably because the CDC isn't allowed to check if they are actively working or not.
