Really? Because it seems every time we have a mass shooting, we find out two things.
1) Everyone in that person's life knew they were nuts.
2) They had absolutely no problem getting a gun.
Now, I live in Illinois, which the Ammosexuals consistently whine has the "toughest gun laws in the country". So I recently applied for a FOID card. Which consisted of me pinky-swearing on line that I didn't have a criminal record or history of mental illness, and paying a whooping $11.00 processing fee.
Compare that to when I applied for my latest mortgage or got my last job, where they DID do thorough background checks, even though I had gotten mortgages and jobs previously. They still bothered to check everything and ask questions.
Data, including all explosion-related deaths in Sweden from 2000 through 2018, were retrieved from the register of the National Board of Forensic Medicine. Among all 87 cases found, accidental deaths accounted for 62%, suicides for 21%, homicides for 7% and undetermined manner of death for the remaining 10% of cases.
Wow, so they had a whooping 87 deaths between 2000 and 2018.
Compared to the 43,000 deaths by gun we have in this country every year.
