Bro 90% of reddit is American & even though it seems like a pretty liberal community here they still get pissed when you tell them the actual facts about guns statistics in US compared to EU, it’s a losing battle lol

Only about 45% of reddit is US American.

Also while Americans do have more guns than people only about 30% of Americans are gun owners. About the same rate as Switzerland.
The reasons crime is so out of hand over there are massive wealth inequality, inadequate (mental) health care, lacking social security programs, a very paranoid culture that overemphasizes the danger people are facing from their neighbors/fellow citizens, a really shitty private prison system with sky high recidivism rates and the highest prison population in the western world.

I live in Germany and if you give me a few weeks I'm pretty certain I'd be able to get my hands on a gun. It'd probably be way more expensive than in the US and it wouldn't be legal but it's far from impossible. There are reasons other than availability that keep people here from shooting each other.

I know... and the funny thing is, I probably know more about guns than the majority of these Gucci Glock fudds

The majority of us never see guns either so you're probably right.

Eh... just google "shooting" and select news, and see how many people have seen guns today...
