        America has “many” mass shootings because the baseline for other countries is “once a decade”, not because the number has many digits.

        You’re either fully aware of this and being manipulative or you reacted emotionally without thinking – not a good trait for a gun owner, but one shared by all the ones who committed suicide or killed their partners.
