Only in the only country that believes that.

What? You think criminals don't have guns in yours?

By the way, a country can't believe anything, it's an artificial concept on a map.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unironically yes. Out of 1000 crime news I hear about here, maybe one of them is about gun violence. Also I have never ever heard about mass killings here like USA seems to have every week.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look up stats, because what's reported in media is always quite different.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol is it really that hard for you to believe? I am not just talking about media channels, also just word around the block, multiple YouTube channels and such.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not that hard. I'd say organized crime will have guns regardless. Usual hooligans will do with many things one can imagine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes and those organised crimes are almost non existant and not even close to the violence in US.

So is obtuseness and pedantry.

Sorry I made you fail.

You can be anti-guns but he is still right. Criminals do have weapons where I live, even though it's illegal. Fortunately, we don't have many criminals since the country is rich

I really don't think you need to mansplain shit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't care if you are a woman, I didn't even know. Also, you are the one being wrong

You already said that to the other guy, and it was already ridiculous back then

You should ask chatgpt, it would provide better and more constructive comments

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The voice of experience, I see.

I AM RUBBER, YOU ARE GLUE

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a weird answer, I didn't say that obtuseness\pedantry can believe in something.

You made nobody fail, accusing someone of these traits just means their correctness is socially unpleasant for you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Sorry for your loss.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That's what I think. That's what I observed (anecdotally) and what statistics show. When the sentence for having a gun is higher than robbery or drug dealing or whatever, even criminals avoid that shit.

Why would you think criminals DO have guns in other countries?
