Serbia is smaller in population than NYC and has a fairly recent history of war. NYC hasn't had school mass shootings either. Mass shootings have happened in Serbia.

Serbia's gun laws are much closer to those in NYC than to those in Texas.
It's not really much of a comparison or illustration that the problem isn't ready access to firearms.
- engramps 4y agoNeither of those serbian shootings were in schools. NYC has had shootings though not that many: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shootings_in_New_York_%28state%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shootings_in_New_York_... Also isnt there recent history of people going to different states to buy guns to shoot people in another state? Its not like there are border police checks
- pvg 4y agoThe argument was that Serbia - a tiny, war-traumatized country -tells you something about current or potential US gun regulation. My response is that even if you allow for that degree of cherrypicking, the comparison doesn't you get you anything that supports the GP's position, in fact, it gets you the opposite.
