Exceptions are rare enough that there’s only like one mass shooting a week!

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 76 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

In 2022 or 2023 there was one mass shooting for every day of the year. Anon was simply in the wrong place.

https://www.massshootingtracker.site/

Looks like they're on track for another great year of mass shootings!

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 month ago

90 mass shootings in 101 days! At least 11 days without one, way to go USA.

[-] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean, most of those are gang shootings, no? Those are always a bit disingenuous to call mass shootings.

People overstate the danger.

(And 90 in a year is still a small % of people when we have 300 million, if you look at %)

[-] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

So... I'm curious why you think gang shootings shouldn't count or is a bit disingenuous to include.

[-] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's disingenuous because they're not everywhere. They're in a specific subset of high crime areas.

It's a very own problem in its own right, but when including in a statistic used to represent all of America as shooting people up is what makes it a poor and often intentionally misleading statistic as compared to how safe you actually are in the average area

They're also typically more targeted, less random

[-] Kacarott@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

You wouldn't know her, she buys her knives from a different store

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

In any given year, more than half of all gun deaths are suicides, so really it should read...

Go back inside

Shoot self

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

But how would they type it?

most gun owners are safe and cautious

I know some of the most brain dead takes that my friends with guns do. Some gun owners are absolutely crazy when it comes to gun safety and storage.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

I have known a number gun enthusiasts. About half of them have been safe with them. Only one shot themself.

The numbers aren't great.

The number of people who openly admit to coworkers that they have couch guns scares me

[-] wookiepedia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Another take, I am super on it with gun safety, but not storage. There are never minors allowed in my home, and a gun isn't useful unless you can get to it easily and it's ready to go. Only guns resting inside the safe are unloaded, all the guns that work for a living have loaded magazines and a round in the chamber (I don't own any 1911 pattern guns, if I did, they would not be chambered.) Also, no exposed trigger, everything is in a holster.

this is why we need to regulate wives

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I'd say we should just outright make homicide illegal so we don't have to be sexist about it.

yeah, fuck men though, they can stab as many men as they want, as long as they're in a gay relationship.

Fake. Anon doesn’t have a wife. That would involve talking to a woman.

[-] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

And gay, for he got impaled from behind.

Be British

Go to the United States

Don't Get Blown up in a Cybertruck

Don't Get Shot up in a mass shooting

Don't Get Robbed shirtless by a home invasion

Don't Get Scammed broke by a crypto-coin shill

Do find the one person in the entire country who insists on doing knife crime

Marry her

Get stabbed to death

Post about it on 4chan

[-] nthavoc@lemmy.today 16 points 1 month ago

Or stabbed by kids because wifi is down ....

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

See that is the problem.

All gun owners should be completely cautious and safe. That is why you background check them thoroughly.

[-] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

The amount of guns mechanics find just casually sitting around in customers cars is appalling. They get stolen because people leave guns in their cars and used for crimes.

[-] zerosignal@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Whenever I see cars/trucks with gun stickers on the back, I assume they are rolling loot drops. Ain't no way I'm advertising what guns I have. Also not leaving my guns unattended anywhere. I spent too much on that shit to leave it out for somebody else to take.

Both the "locks away guns, guns are always empty except on the shooting range or hunting, safety conscious" person and the "gets drunk every evening and sleeps with a loaded gun under their pillow" person are actually totally safe as long as they uphold the number one rule of gun safety: "The barrel of a gun may never be pointed at a person". Super hard to shoot someone unless you are Angelina Jolie or James McAvoy or one of those bullet ricochet superheroes. Of course it's a useless rule since it is simply stating the obvious. But that doesn't seem to stop people from repeating it.

pfft this ridiculous shit - most gun owners are completely cautious and safe people - is disproven easily by reality.

https://www.jalopnik.com/youve-got-to-stop-keeping-your-gun-in-your-car-1850929717/

https://www.jalopnik.com/a-gun-is-stolen-from-a-car-every-9-minutes-in-america-1851472717/

that's a single example of the idiocy. it gets dumber the further you research. Most, bwahahahah

Anon probably deserved it

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

He's lucky his wife didn't have a gun.

[-] MindlessHunter4@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

If the wife knows where he keeps the guns she could and probably would just as easily shoot him.

[-] Tattorack@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Hmm...

This is some combination of right-wing gun-toting and sexism. A very.... wonderful combination.
