I think you're being disingenuous with what you surfaced from your Wikipedia link.

We are literally the only country on there that has more guns than people (the 2nd highest is literally half our amount per capita!). Now look at the ratio of unregistered to registered in the US. We clearly have a problem compared to other countries.

392 times more unregistered guns than registered, good god.

Sorry, correlation != causation. Has never been a problem until recent times so maybe you can find another scapegoat if you need some pablum.

I have no doubt we've increased the per capita, especially unregistered in recent times.

Maybe we could try, I don't know, literally what Australia did after their mass shooting?

Heck, if it doesn't work, feel free to have all the guns you want. But can we at least fucking try to change it?

Doesn't sound like you want to talk in good faith about ways to improve the country, so I guess go back to listening to whatever wacko conservative rustles your jimmies about the "radical left" and "crt".
