Konor3inch, I am much more concerned about being injured or killed from a medical mistake or from a collision with someone who is texting while driving. Those things pose much more actual risk to those of us living in the U.S. than being assaulted with a handgun or shot by a semi-auto rifle in any mass shooting.

I've made the point before about the low level of firearms ownership in Russia and the much higher incidence of murder and violent firearms crime in Russia versus the U.S.

The U.S. has over 300 million guns and a 2012 murder rate of 4.7 per 100,000. Russia has only 13 million guns, and a 2012 murder rate of 9.2 per 100,000. So we have over 23 times as many guns and a murder rate about half as high as Russia. It would seem that the problem is cultural rather than due to the availability of guns.

I'm quite confident that if some mentally ill nut or terrorist decides to inflict mass murder upon Scotland, the past and future gun bans will not stop them. Let's not forget that the recent attack in Nice, France killed 87 people with a truck as the weapon of choice. Our anti-gun news media barely reported the 33 people killed in a mass murder that did not involve any guns in July, 2019 in Japan... another country with severe firearms restrictions:

With the low interest in guns and shooting as a result of the attrition in Scotland, you probably won't be all that upset when the anti-gunners finish their goal of eliminating guns from your country. I sincerely hope that gun owners here in the U.S. keep on fighting.

Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
