A million deaths were not enough for NRA

Sure but for USA there is a page per year on Wikipedia.
Whataboutism about Europe will not resolve that situation?
Aren’t you getting stats for Uruguay? Vietnam? Dubai? Will that help To resolve the problem?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2025

How does the meme, or pretending it's unique to the US, help to resolve the problem?

Replace NRA with GOP.
The NRA is pretty weak at the moment. It seems that being infiltrated by a Russian honeypot is bad for business.

wrote last edited by [email protected]The scale and frequency is unique to the US.
And it's wild because the proof is in the wiki article you linked. Since 2000 there have been a total of 85 school shootings in all of Europe. The US (A single country) has had 630.
The problem is obviously significantly worse in the US.

If the children had assault rifles on them at all times, they could have defended themselves. Assault rifles, pump guns and other long weapons are perfect for children, since they cannot point it at themselves and pull the trigger at the same time. Also to further enhance the safety of your child, just be sure to give them soft point ammo, since it would shatter on impact with any harder wall and avoid ricochet.
Edit: God save President Trump and watch over all of your children.

I hate it here.

Cos it is always happening in USA and the response is always T&P
So saying it not a problem because you show some events across multiple centuries on one Wikipedia page for one continent doesn’t change the issue that the USA is facing on a daily basis. The meme is just a daily reminder. -

It is unique to the US. Other places have 2 or more orders of magnitude fewer shootings.
And knowing this does help you figure out how to solve the problem.

But no. It's not.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'll add to this that Europe has about 1.6 times the population of the US. This means that Europe has roughly one school shooting for every 12 incidents in the US when corrected for population.
If Europe had school shootings at a rate similar to the US, there would have been on average 40 incidents per year. That is: about one school shooting every week of school since year 2000. I can't even imagine going to school knowing that and wondering if my school is the one that's going to be shot up this week.

I want to sarcastically comment "where were the armed drones to protect the children??!?" after that article yesterday, but I worry people will ignore the sarcasm and think it's a good idea...

Seems to be working out fine so far for the GOP

Anywhere else in the world has an incident where children get murdered in school and they do something. Largely, what they do serves to make children safer.
In America you do literally nothing

But no. It's not.
Unlike some of the school children, that joke will get old eventually.
Gallows humor is all I have left....

Name any other country that has anywhere near the amount of shootings we have in a year. Fuck, name one that has a quarter or a tenth of what we have year after year.
Don't let your misplaced pride in the US blind you to a very unique problem that we have.
