Speaking of common sense, what's your explanation for the USA having such a tremendously higher rate of mass shootings than any other developed nation on this planet?

Treating kids like they're royalty doesn't help. Telling them they're super special and deserve everything they ever wanted doesn't help. Making more and more rules so kids don't have to face adversity doesn't help.

You can't have a young lion or tiger born in a zoo, fed like a king, only to eventually release it into it's natural wild ecosystem. Odds are extremely high it's going to die, one way or another, because it doesn't have what it needs to cope.

Many other countries don't cover events like the US does, and when they do, they do so in a much different fashion. The US makes it week long binge show extravaganza. Then there's the fact that so many other countries will show big events from US media, but the US won't show squat from elsewhere, unless of course the event can, outdo, what coverage the US has on tap presently.

I wanna be on TV is an insanely big deal in the US. So it's no wonder why some people will do what they do, knowing they won't just get their 15 minutes, they'll likely get an entire week. Sometimes offering a platform to project something isn't a good idea, some would say, though the media clearly doesn't agree, at least when it comes to themselves. Yet they're more than happy to point out who else shouldn't be given or getting a platform.

The US also has such a tremendously higher rate of many things vs other countries, both good and bad. That's basically baked into the American system. What other country constantly has the major high's and lows the US does when it comes to so many different things?

Do you seriously want to live in a world where everyone runs around wearing guns at all times? Do you seriously feel safe with other people around you having guns?

How the heck do you feel safer by you and friends and family around you disarmed?

Edit: Like if you and others are besides camp fire in the woods or something yall feel safer unarmed?

Even with you and a bunch of strangers at the bustop or something. Pretty sure no one will want to stir shit with everyone armed there.

Speaking as a Brit, I definitely feel safer that everyone doesn't walk around with guns, I'm not standing around a bunch of strangers armed to the teeth not knowing their frame of mind or training, even cops in America who are meant to be professionally trained are often trigger happy as fuck, I don't trust the general public to be much better and before the knife argument comes out, I'd much rather take my chances at surviving a knife attack than a gun attack.

The only thing I'm worried about at a campfire in the woods is what wildlife is there.

Sorry but it's delusional to think that because everyone is packing that nobody would dare to start anything, cause that totally deters street gang violence, right? It especially won't deter someone who is mentally ill, they won't give a shit about who is packing, a lot of these lunatics are already going out with the expectation or even desire that they're going to die but want to take as many people as possible with them.

It's also a fact that the murderer will have the advantage simply because they have it set in their mind already that they're going to kill someone, they're already mentally prepared, they know what they're going to do, whereas civilians aren't going to be 24/7 thinking "I have to be prepared in case I get shot" as a result the murderer has the jump on people and could easily take out a few armed civilians before being taken out himself.

Not to mention the sheer panic that would ensue, you seem to think that all there is to having a gun is learning how to aim and shoot but it's not, there's a huge mental hurdle to get over which nothing can train you for until you're in the situation, many will freeze, many will run, a few will fire back but their reaction times will vary and almost certainly they'll be some blind firing going on, point is, it'd be a mess.

This "hero with a gun saving the day" is mostly a myth by gun owners to justify their clinging onto such a law and make themselves feel good, cause they often think of themselves as that hero who would save the day when in actual fact, I suspect that many of them would actually turn and run. I can't even say what I would do and I wouldn't because the fact is that nobody knows what they'd do until they're in that situation.
