You can't lecture anyone if you're ignorant of the socio-political issues that put people into the position to attack each-other with guns. Most of these "mass shootings" are gang-warfare caused by the failed war on drugs - something Europe doesn't have at the extent nor scale that the U.S has. 

Failed war on drugs tha that Europa doesn't have? Sounds like you don't really know everything going on in Europe.

So the multitude of mentally unstable, radical or white supremacist shootings are actually gang warfare? Is that it? Don't think so.

Do you have hundreds of cartels created by drug prohibition south of (and within) your borders? Do you have entire portions of cities in which the top employment opportunity for the impoverished is the sale of drugs and the criminal activity relevant to maintain it? Do you have mass incarceration, the highest in the world, of drug users and sellers? Felony records making it impossible for drugs users or gang members to reform themselves? Do places like Portugal, where the decriminalization of hard drugs has occured successfully, not exist in Europe? 

As for the radical white supremacist groups, what percentage of these "133 mass shootings" consist of that? The last one I can think of was Dylan Roof, and I really can't think of what the last one was before him. They are obvioulsy the 1% of the 1% of the 1% of total shootings. Hardly anything to get worked up about statistically.
