It isn't just bombings though. Every country has their own problems like I said. For say Belgium or France it is kidnapping. For say Russia, Mexico, Ukraine, USA it is murder rate. For say Portugal and Spain it is robbery and muggings. For say UK or Germany it is the "terrorist rate". For Sweden and Australia it is Sexual Assault. Etc. etc. And btw for the tally of "Europe" it would be difficult to tally it up without a clear definition, because if we include European Russia and Istanbul than the tally for all the bombings in 10 years definitely exceed US mass shooting deaths in a year which is much higher than 40%. |
YOU are the one who brought up bombings, I didn't. I simply pointed out they don't come close to a year of US's gun death rate. Not you, but loads of pro gun people bring up how many knife stabbing there are in the UK etc, where there are no guns. Even if you took knifing murder rates you'd be hard pressed to match gun deaths in the US. Also when was the last time some mass knife murderer managed to kill 58 people from a balcony, like what happened in Las Vegas last year?? Fact is guns make mass killing exponentially easier compared to knifes, if that is *all* someone had to go on a rampage with. Also more people die from gun shot wounds, than from knife wounds. Yet pro gunners don't seem to have the capacity to understand how one weapon is exponentially worse in the hands of the public, than the other!
Since I debunked your bombing statement you now bring up Russia and Turkey. Neither Russia nor Turkey are part of the official borders of the European Union, which is what I was referring to. But since you mentioned Russia, according to this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_Russia (which includes deaths from all terrorist activities in the last 10 years, not just bombing) only about 1,100 people have died due to terrorism in 10 years!
I found this site for Turkey - https://www.kaggle.com/sevgilit/turkey-terrorism-statistics/notebook, but that doesn't look like the combined terrorist deaths would be greater than the US either.
Just to be sure, you are aware over 15,000 people in the US die from gun related deaths with over 30,000 people injured due to guns EVERY YEAR! In any other country that would be considered war zone statistics!!
