Take the democrat run cities of NYC, Chicago, LA, Baltimore and Philadelphia out of the mix and the US compares well with any other developed country. All those states have medium to large rural areas subject to the same strict gun laws but vastly fewer murders.
It’s not the guns, it’s the urban criminal element.

90% of all shootings occur in democrat controlled inner cities, with a handgun, by at least a onetime felon, but usually a 3-time felon. (As we all know it's illegal for a felon to have a gun in their possession. And we also all know criminals obey gun laws like democrats obey voting laws.)

Sighs. It's nice to think that America was great with the wild west.

I think our lack of mental care plays a big part in it. Free roam crazies and all that.

@MistyCee it’s taking about a month for my friend to get his pew. It varies state to state though. I know some countries it’s more common to introduce children to firearms and teach them safety and to respect it. The whole idolizing thing you mentioned….maybe it’s a lack of guidance.
@SW-User His "pew"?
Is he starting a church?

Some people are incapable of change. Even change that benefits them.

@DancesForJabba The right doesn't like seeing the pandemic they've neglected being among the most prominent causes of death, so they've decided to spin up some competition? 🥴

Not true. Most of them have emotional problems. They are basically not well.

I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of eye rolls for this, but it's tied into toxic masculinity. The whole macho image of Billy Badass with his rippling abs, bulging biceps, and big old assault rifle.

@BohemianBabe As canonized by 80s action movies.😆

@LordShadowfire We all watched 80s movies in Europe too. Didn't cause us to go around shooting people.

@ninalanyon Idk. Something in the water here.
