Gun ownership per 100,000 vs all gun deaths per 100,000

Austria 30.4 2.9
Canada 25.3 2.05
Finland 27.5 3.25
Germany 30.3 1.01
Norway 31.3 1.75
Sweden 31.6 1.47
Switzerland 24.65 3.01
U.S. 101 10.45

There are some countries with higher ownership, but nothing comes close the U.S. Some are countries with extreme violence, government conflicts, and/or flawed data (eg Venezuela)

As examples on what it takes to get a gun in some of those countries https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...-gun-laws.html


Austria: To get a handgun or semiautomatic rifle, prove you are in serious physical danger. 2Pass a review of criminal history. 3Fill out a mental health survey, and complete a psychological and physical test. 4Complete a course on safe gun handling and storage. 5Install safe gun storage. 6Buy a gun. 7If you bought a hunting rifle or shotgun, wait three days before coming back to pick it up.

Canada: 1To buy a handgun, prove that you practice at an approved shooting club or range, or show that you are a gun collector. 2For any gun, complete a safety course and pass both a written and a practical test. 3Ask for two references. 4Apply for a permit, and wait 28 days before processing begins. 5Pass a background check that considers your criminal record, mental health, addiction and domestic violence history. 6Buy a gun. If you bought a handgun, register it with the police before taking it home.

Germany: join a shooting club, obtain a hunting license, demonstrate you are a gun collector or prove that your life is threatened. 2Demonstrate specialized knowledge of firearms, which may involve a written exam and practical demonstration of safe handling. 3If you are under 25, submit a certificate of mental fitness from a public health officer or doctor. 4Arrange proper firearm storage. 5Pass a background check that considers criminal history, mental health and drug addiction. 6Apply for a permit to purchase a specific gun, which may include an additional short background review. 7Buy a gun.

there are already strict rules in place. How about we start enforcing the rules, laws, and regulations in place.

The talk now is just lip service and will accomplish nothing but take away more freedoms. The freedom that many souls have made the ultimate sacrifice for.

I swore an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I have never rescinded that oath. Until the 2nd amendment is repealed I will defend it against all attacks.

We r not attacking the 2nd amendment. That dog won't hunt so please try some other line of reasoning.

You are working to repeal it. Just like the progressive movement towards a single-payer healthcare system.

Small steps towards the ultimate goal. Think about the boiling frog. Once you realize it will be too late.

First its guns ...

ink between leftism and tyranny indisputable.

In China/Russia its outright tyranny. In your face.

In Socialist Europe, it is tyranny in development, PC enforcement, fines for free speech, hiding behind “benign” socialism, waiting to bust out. This is the second step.

Citizens deprived of their guns in all of these places. That is the first step.

Leftists in the USA want us to follow Europe’s lead, we could be next in line.

So people are upset about gun protesters wanting common sense legislation to gun ownership (which is legal) to protect people from random acts of violence vs abortion protests which want elimination of something that is also legal and only impacts some cells in a woman's body and no one else?

Additionally, one was a school walk out to addess a school violence issue. The other is suggesting using a school walk out to address a non school issue.

Also if the GOP weren't constantly trying to limit access to sex education and affordable birth control then even fewer abortions would be needed. They want to control a woman's uterus but once that baby is out it's on its own, especially if it's born to a poor family or single mother.
