Let that sink in.

This tweet is using the definition of a mass shooting that was created by the reddit user /u/BillySpeed, an admin on a anti-gun subreddit.
Their definition is so loose and reckless that you actually have known liberal sites having to debunk it.

As far as the US being safer than the US, that's a matter of opinion and how you like to look at it, and I'll leave it at that. Less murders happen per square mile in the US, period. Just like you said with taking 10k people, there will be more murders on the US 10k side. Flip that around and lets take 10k miles of the US and 10k miles of the UK. More murders in the UK in that 10k miles, right? Again, it's all in perspective to how you want to look at it which brings it down to personal opinion. My personal opinion, it's safer to live in the US. Your opinion, it's safer to live the UK. That's fine, it is what it is.

Anyway, I'm done with these threads. What has been said in the last 10 pages just keeps getting re-said in a different way and people still don't understand it.

At the end of the day, guns are used to put meat on the table, have fun at the range, and to protect your self, your family, and your belongings. Thanks to the second amendment, guns will never be taken away, but we need to close the loop holes to getting guns, and that's the end of the story. That's all there is to it, and that's all there can be to it.

Im a hard core Republican and own 2 shotguns, 1 rifle, 1 AR-15, and 1 handgun. I do indeed support legislation that prevents people who do not deserve the right to obtain and gun be able to purchase one with ease. I believe that anybody on the no-fly list and people who have been or currently being investigated by the FBI for extreme ideas should not be able to purchase a gun in stores. Also, any body with a mental illness within a certain range could not purchase a firearm also.

But that gun ban is working out.

Yes the UK lost a very well respected MP in an isolated incident. It's more shocking due to the fact it doesn't happen much here in the UK.

Would increased gun control reflect in a lower number of deaths by guns, I believe so.
You're sitting on your hands doing nothing.
But you are right it's none of my business what you do with your country. I just hope that you can research real facts and lead with your head not your heart.

An unfortunate and poorly timed incident yes, but nonetheless completely isolated, how can you begin to compare a single death at the hands of someone with a home-made firearm to 50 deaths in a club at the hands of a man with semi automatic weapons.

We in the UK are at least actively trying to prevent this from happening rather than still arguing in 2016 that firearms promote more safety/protection.

You are so ignorant it is unreal.

You know what I love about that article and the picture on it? Every single one of those shooting, besides one, happened in states with strict gun laws, some even the strictest. Look at Chicago, 7 shootings, I wonder how that happened with the gun laws they have there. They should have banned killing too.

Here's some facts for you; guns are used to prevent 2.5 million crimes every year here in the U.S. Which is about 7,000 every single day. Only 8% of those being fatal (most people don't even have to shoot). 200,000 women use guns to protect themselves from potential rape every year, armed citizens kill more criminals than police, with police having a higher rate of killing an innocent person. Also, 75% of felons said they robbed the house when they know no one is home so they don't get shot, or risk getting shot. States that have concealed-carry laws reduced their murder rates by 8%, rapes by 5%, assaults by 7%.

I'l also leave this here.

"Vermont: one of the safest five states in the country. In Vermont, citizens can carry a firearm without getting permission... without paying a fee... or without going through any kind of government-imposed waiting period. And yet for ten years in a row, Vermont has remained one of the top-five, safest states in the union -- having three times received the "Safest State Award."

I will bring this up one more time. We established we need to close loopholes, but what else do you think the US can do? We can't outright ban guns as we have the second amendment.
