Look to boardrooms and the executive offices of Wall Street and the Weapons makers for the mass murderers.
All over the world.
Not the demographics you were hoping for

In 2019 the top 5 murder rates belong to:
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alaska, Missouri, South Carolina
All RED states. This can get spun however you want but the bottom line is it's a problem in AMERICA, all of it. We are one nation and we need to start starting acting like it but the idiots would rather just point fingers at the right/left and make zero progress.
83% of the murders in then states listed were committed by 13% of the population. Simple math makes the problem clear.

Executives aren't the ones performing mass murders. Let's hold the people actually committing crimes accountable, shall we?

3 million die is USA every year! That's life! Yes guns are dangerous but so are cars and sports and boats
With freedoms there comes dangers that's life! deal with it instead of looking for simple minded conversations for complex issues that will persist for many decades to come!!!
As car and boat ownership show, no freedom is absolute. There are rules - like the laws of the road. So what is the "freedom" in having easy access to guns that cannot be constrained in order to reduce the loss of life? Oh, I forgot - you said you don't give a cr*p about anyone's life except your own.
Typical moronic response! Totally misquote me and facts!
Show me where I sad that?
Yes no freedom is absolute... And gun rights aren't absolute just like alcohol rights aren't!
We have limits on all this stuff, if u think they should be differentz write up a proposal! Make your case with good arguments!
Bottom line alcohol causes more destruction than guns! So does abuse of pills and addiction to crap food!
We have a history of gun rights it's not gonna change, the country is 2 big and diverse! And the supreme court is pushing things in the other direction!
U should work on getting it back to a state decision and live in a state with strict regulations !
And stop misquoting people!!!

Heart disease kills half a million a year! Why don't we have stricter regulations on food?
Because it's not the mentality of our society just like having a breathalyzer on every car ignition isn't either!
The zeitgeist doesn't favor stricter gun regulation! And like I said I think they're are better efforts to focus on!

Alcohols way more destructive but I bet u enjoy it and use it and won't adress that point because your a hypocrit!

It's easy to argue against the freedoms that don't appeal to you while ignoring the ones that do!

How many random workplace/school/theater shootings versus multiple shootings of the drug deal gone bad kind? I don't know the answer, but do feel that these overblown statistics are combining two very different things.
Yes. Sometimes they deserve it.

Behind all that drivel there is no concession that the US has a problem with gun violence, in which it far outstrips any other country in the Western world. But your user name sums up your attitude. The rest of your comment is redundant. It adds nothing.

Not when you(they) don't give a sh*t about other people's lives, which is the predominant attitude here.

We are also the most altruistic, charitable country on Earth...We give more to charity for people around the World than anyone, by far. Even now we are Ukraines biggest supporter financially and morally...We also saved Europes azz from Hitler, rebuilt their economies and liberated the Jews from concentration camps. When there's a calamity anywhere in the World we are the first to respond with aid. We have the free-ist, most advanced country on the planet, number ONE destination for migrants and we admit more imigrants than any country on earth. Smoke that...

To play devil's advocate- our allocation of dollars to fight proxy wars (ala Ukraine) only diminishes what we can contribute economically to domestic programs aimed at any type of reform of injection of local commerce and sustainable economy.
We take great care to ensure the comforts and safety of those that live outside our borders. When folks in our nation are suffering, why do we continue to lob dollars overseas? And the argument that we do so because 'that's what America does' is thought terminating rhetoric that has no place in any discourse
