I'm gonna bring up a point right now about gun control and how it varies.
Currently the United States is number one for the most guns ownder per 100 citizens. We also have a stuff ton of mass shootings and murders. The US fairly close to the top of the list, ranking #13 on the gun mortality list.
Switzerland on the other hand ranks #5 of guns owned per 100 citizens. They've had only three mass shootings and murders since the beginning of the year 2000. (At least accoring to my sources.) Switzerland also has an extemely low gun mortality rate.
Australia has some pretty strict gun laws. Only about 5.2% of the adult population own and use firearms. Gun mortality rates have been decreasing there for decades aswell.
Gun mortality includes Self Deletes via firearms, Flash Mobs, or single homicides.
IMO if you want to stop these crazy shootings and decrease the mortality rate, you need to censor certain media outlets, and educate your political figureheads and authority figures. It's worked in Australia at least.
However the problems remain that no one likes censorship and political figureheads and most authority figure perfer to remain in the dark or try to sound like they know what they're talking about when it comes to guns. This is the problem in America that I've noticed.
I'm unsure of how things are regulated or treated in Switzerland. If anyone with info on that would like to speak up pls do.
I support the right to own firearms. But it depends not only upon the person's mentality, but also their environment. There are too many factors and people are only paying attention to which ones they want rather than all of them. (for example: it was video games; it was the music; it was his family; it was his parents; it was these two things; etc.)
