There are almost no mass shootings anywhere outside the US.

Educate yourself.

As far as I’m concerned you’re an accomplice.

Lol, this is what I mean by 'getting up in arms' while living in a fantasy world. I think you might be spending too much time on these forums, and it's distorting your view of reality. You can't realize it though because it makes you fit in with those around you.

Oh well. Gonna block you now. You don't seem like the kind of rational person who has information that's worth taking seriously.

You want to try reading that ? most other countries have three or four occurrences total. US has... 4011 in the last decade.

You're the one whose beliefs are blinding them my friend.

Lol you know it's bad when you start drilling down into the subcategories. You open up the 2020s for the UK and it's 3 small articles. You open up the 2020s for the US and it's like, "Alright you want all the shootings from 2020, 2021, 2022, or 2023? Cause this is gonna take a while."
