    Do GUNS pose a danger, no. Mentally ill people and criminals do.

    so, why is there no other country in the world with the amount of guns and killings like the US? if i understand you right - because the US is the place with the most mentally ill people and criminals in the world, right? reading your comments and seeing the political discourse in your country this does not seem far fetched. are you a mentally ill criminal yourself?

      We have no shortage of either sadly, if you actually lived here you'd know for many years we've had serious issues with not treating people that are mentally ill, and dangerous. Criminals aren't prosecuted thanks to liberal gov'ts that literally let violent offenders walk right out the door. So yes, we very well may have more (in circulation) than many other countries do and that's a serious problem. Many people use that terrible situation to virtue signal a hatred of guns to their advantage, just as you're failing to attempt to do.

      Again, if you actually lived in this country, you'd also be aware that states with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country also have the highest amount of gun crime vs those who don't. That's proven not to work, huge surprise! Legal gun owners aren't going out and shooting people and using them in crimes, who would have known right?

      are you a mentally ill criminal yourself?

      You've gone from childish to just stupid now, conversation over.
