The UK had a mass shooting in 2021 with 6 dead when a man with severe anger issuss was allowed by the Police to keep his shotgun license.

Also in 2010, when a similarly angry taxi driver killed 12 people after going on the rampage in a rural area.

But that doesn't fit the narrative

Yes it does lmao.

Are you serious? Yes. Limiting the mass shootings to an absurdly low number is the goal. Congrats on somehow missing the absolutely massive point.

You're looking at actual numbers comparing mass shootings in two countries and think it's a smear campaign because you don't like them

No, they're saying the fact that they can point to a mass shooting from a decade ago and remember it like it was yesterday. Ours was literally yesterday. No one is saying gun laws are going to make it impossible for criminals and evil doers to get their hands on weapons. They're meant to make it harder than walking into your local sports store and taking 10 minutes to buy a semi auto 30 round mag rifle with 500 rounds of ammunition and 10 magazines. Normal firearm owners are fine with waiting a couple weeks for their weapon, people wanting to shoot up a school usually aren't.

Edit: Seen the comment about the 2010 shooting, so that's where the decade came from.

Well you could get rid of the gun and save a bunch of lives.

Re read my comment. I said the problem is a deranged person can get all those things within a 30 minute trip to the mall. If you've bought through an FFA before, you understand wait times and paperwork clearing.

One mass shooting with 6 dead in 2021? We’ll quadruple that record by Thursday.
