  >citation needed Simple logic. Guns are manufactured outside of the US throughout the entirety of Central and South America, and can be made extremely cheaply using simple parts from a home improvement store. The only way to remove guns from criminals hands is to completely block all border movement to/from Mexico and ban all Home Depots and related stores federally. > united states… #1 in mass shootings More information required. Considering we’re only 32nd highest in the world for gun crime[0], I highly doubt we have less annual incidents than Venezuela and El Salvador. Especially since according to my research only 12 countries have recorded mass shootings[1], most of which contain extensive gun control. Thus without mass killings to compare it to, and lacking information of countries with similar/worse rates of gun homicides, makes “mass shootings” a flawed metric used only to push narratives.
