The biggest problem in the US, which no one ever talks about, isn’t long arms at all but easily concealable pistols.

- Nextgrid 4y agoI'm not necessarily talking about violence where someone is determined to use a gun to kill someone. I'm talking about the general problem of there being way too many guns out there than they should be, owned by people who have no interest in safe & responsible firearm ownership, which leads to dangerous bullshit such as celebratory gunfire. This is a separate problem that will remain even if gun violence is resolved.
- sp0ck 4y agoDon't go that rabbit hole :-) Long guns with exeption of mass shootings are reposnonsible for fraction of a violence. In fact 95% of gun violence is USA is focued in less than a 5% of area of major cities. If You subsctract gangs shootings USA is closer to EU in terms of gun accidents/crimes that you would think.
