This is a test of course. Some might clue the hidden message here.
If the victims had been armed, he could have been stopped.If only he had access to a rifle. Then he could have mowed down 69 people like white supremacist Anders Behring Breivik.
Like they stopped Anders Behring Breivik?If the victims had been armed, he could have been stopped.
They were unarmed, too. See a pattern?Like they stopped Anders Behring Breivik?
Like they have stopped every mass shooting? Any mass shooting?
If the victims had been armed, he could have been stopped.
They were unarmed, too. See a pattern?
There's a 100% chance that an unarmed victim will be defenseless in an active shooter scenario. I'd rather take my chances being armed.If the victims had been armed, they might, or they might not have stopped this. The US has much worse, when people have access to guns.
AND the US has a much higher daily murder rate. Norway has a murder rate of 0.47, the US has a murder rate of 4.97.
Do you really think Norway is stupid enough to trade a 0.47 murder rate for one ten times higher, in exchange for this one attack not happening?
We have 10x more people in the US. Of course we'll have more crime.US cops, armed cops, are much more likely to die in the line of service than British cops.
What does that tell you?
49 cops have died in the US this year from gunfire. If that were the UK, it'd be 10 cops (1/5th the population size).
That number takes you back to 2007 in the UK. And that's including ALL cops who are killed even if they're not on duty. Includes a police officer who collapsed, and only three of these were from guns.
There's a 100% chance that an unarmed victim will be defenseless in an active shooter scenario. I'd rather take my chances being armed.
Gun ownership doesn't cause people to commit murder. This incident proves that killers will always find a way.
We have 10x more people in the US. Of course we'll have more crime.
Mexico has A lot fewer guns and way more murders, per capita. Guns don't cause people to commit murders.This is per capita dude. I even explained this in the post. The UK has 1/5th the population of the US, so if 50 cops die in the US, you'd expect 10 cops to die in the UK.
DOESN'T HAPPEN.
Since the US is so dangerous, you make a great argument in favor of gun ownership.You want to discuss statistics huh?
You'd rather take your chances being armed. That's fine. You stay in American. Meanwhile the Norwegians will see one death for every ten deaths the US has. Literally, for those five people killed, the US will have seen fifty people die.
I didn't say gun ownership causes people to commit murder.
However easy access to guns does empower people. The US has, for a long time, developed a more aggressive lifestyle, and with that people are more likely to resort to killing.
I sure do see a pattern. Your fantasy of armed citizens stopping mass shootings is a delusion.They were unarmed, too. See a pattern?
Mexico has A lot fewer guns and way more murders, per capita. Guns don't cause people to commit murders.
Since the US is so dangerous, you make a great argument in favor of gun ownership.
What policies? I'm not arguing that the US is dangerous. You are.The US is dangerous because of policies in place. Norway isn't so dangerous because of policies in place.
Your argument for the US being dangerous is to keep it dangerous because it's dangerous.
Then, why are you insisting that guns be highly regulated and banned?Again, I told you before, I didn't say guns cause people to commit murder.
If you're going to try and change what I say every time, there's no point in this conversation.
Mexico has problems the US and Norway don't have. The reality is that Norway has a murder rate 1/10th that of the US for a reason.
You have zero evidence that I'm wrong.I sure do see a pattern. Your fantasy of armed citizens stopping mass shootings is a delusion.
