Is there any scientific evidence that everyone having a gun makes mass shootings less likely?
Of course not. And there is not any scientific evidence that more gun control makes mass shootings less likely either.
Sweden, Finland, Norway and Canada has a lot of guns perhaps as much like the US has per capita but you never see so much mass shootings like in the US.
No. The US has an attitude problem.

Strong voices that are against laws and regulations to tighten the arms supply instead want more citizens to be armed. A position that Trump has also signed. Many want people in a mall or teachers at the school to arm themselves so that they can neutralize or shoot a shooter who comes in and shoots wildly around them. Well that doesn't work and likely it will do more harm than good.

How do we control these few people without controlling everyone?
To me it looks like the US doesn't even try to control nutters from easy access to guns. Well I guess a nutter has the same constitutional right to bear arms like everyone else in the US...

Nutters aren't allowed to exist in the USA! Everyone is sane. The evidence showing that there are nutters is fake and a false flag operation.

The problem is nutters now have a right to be nutz. Many choose to be nutz because life is easier. If you are sane you actually have to work and be productive, you don't if you are nutz.

You control the people by making gun nutz buy a tax stamp. It works very well for machine guns, it will work very well for semi-auto too.

<ed>and Texas is an open carry state, nope, still had to wait for the cops.

Looks like one state is starting to get a grip on mental illness.

The only reason that the US has so many firearms related deaths is the number of firearms.



All the numbers are available at https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/2/16399418/us-gun-violence-statistics-maps-charts

Before we legally define potentially millions as possible mass murderer's. We should think this through.
I've thought it through and I reckon that you guys have potentially "tens of millions" of murdering nutters over there all ready and it's probably caused by all those fracking chemicals that you have in your ground water over there.

And all the hormone treated meat, and GMO crops of course.
(unfortunately Australia allows hormone treated meat and some GMO crops too)
Well it can't be those then as we don't go around having a mass murder or 2 a day over here. ;-)

Absolutely correct moomin...

53 shot, 7 fatally in Chicago weekend shootings

https://abc7chicago.com/49-shot-6-fatally-in-chicago-weekend-shootings/5443785/

Betting that most of the shooters will not act in accordance with any laws, regulations, etc.

Add the handful of mass murderer's.
Absolutely correct Clyde....

May I add......I will give up my LEGALLY acquired and owned AR when there is UNQUESTIONABLE PROOF that the millions of similar weapons ILLEGALLY acquired and possessed have been removed from the hands of criminals and nut cases. After all, the Government has done SUCH a good job with Heroin and Fentanyl. Criminals don't abide by laws...that's why they're criminals.

And from a very intelligent woman 'of color'....

News
Neil deGrasse Tyson under fire from liberals after releasing gun violence statistics

Neil deGrasse Tyson
✔
@neiltyson

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.

On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…

500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun

Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.


Apparently like Tigers, Liberals do eat their own.

Politicians of BOTH SIDEs -and MEDIA, Like MOST AMERICANs BELIEVE -are NOT DOING THEIR JOBs. His FRUSTRATION Found a HELLISH Outlet.

So, LEFTists GOin' BATSHAT CRAZY, as USUAL AGAINST SUPERTrump, are GOin' to LOSE LOSE LOSE AGAIN With THEIR SELF-RIGHTEOUS DISEASED RIDDEN SYNDROMED REACTIONs.

RUBEWorld GOTs 'IT' RIGHT. As USUAL

One answered this @neiltyson
No one person caused 500 medical errors.
No one person caused 200 vehicle deaths.
No one person committed 200 suicides.
No one person killed 40 people with a handgun.

One [a**hole] with a high powered rifle killed 20 people in El Paso.

See the [f**king] difference.

MASS KILLINGs are a ONE and DONE. SHOOTER DEAD or ARRESTED. FINISHED.

Murders and Attemped Murders and 'OTHER' 'MISTAKES' are a CONTINUING DISASTER fO EVERYONE in U S of A. EVERYWHERE in da U S of A.

MOST Murders and Attempts RESULT in NO ARRESTS. So These Shooters are STILL WITH US. EVERYWHERE.

dA OTHER DEATHs CONTINUE As mO and mO WITLESS INCOMPETENTs Continue to SERVE THEIR FELLOWs at ALL INSTITUTIONS and DRIVE OUR STREETs - EVERYWHERE.

So YEP and YEAH - I SEE dA DIFFERENCE.

RUBEWorld SEEs and KNOWs ALL. GOT 'IT'. GOoD.

ORANGe is LOVELY and SO IS YAPe

Mass shootings this year as per August 5, 2019:
European Union : 2 - United States of America : 255
Looks like the US will be the winner this year again.

How's this work for you. Remembering we have 50 states.
A "well regulated militia", back when, our constitution was written meant every able bodied and armed man who was not in the Army whose help could be requested in a time of danger.

Actually it is, but there are some commas in the text that make it ambiguous. And it's difficult to see if it's a comma or not in the original handwritten text.
