Firstly, this assumption that many people are being stabbed for a phone in city centres is just not based on reality or actual statistics in Europe. It just doesn't happen quite as much as the US media seem to propogate to their populace in the hope that the average dumb US citizen will believe they are in the best country in the world still.
Whilst mass shootings happen. It's in the singular per year. Not singular per week. The fact classrooms are designed with school shooters in mind tells you all you need to know.
The percentage of people murdered in the US (not suicide, but murder) is higher.
Now obviously I will get the, bad guys will still get guns. Even though, every single country that has gun laws prove that they have far less deaths due to the populace having no guns. In Europe you won't get 10 Dylan's or Eric's able to access guns so easily, to commit school shootings. That's the difference.
Also nowadays you can safely say women aren't as safe considering abortion laws. The same with doctors who treat them. They aren't safe from ridiculous criminal prosecution.
Let's not even get on to the acts of the police in the US on general citizens....
Who even thought of writing this article?
