Gun control facts

So 3 minutes could be okay. And they wrote the reamrks for me to read scrolling through. it.

So 38000 gun deaths and the people making the video are proud 2/3 are suicides.

That still makes more than 12600 gun deaths per year were someone else was shot and killed.

5 times more murders by knife than by rifles is no reason to celebrate.

Did you notice if your comments about 12600 deaths was from illegal gun owners, criminals, that will have them regardless. I wonder if the Iranian people had guns if over 30,000. of them would have been so easily murdered along with that leadership being in place as long as it was. No one is proud of suicide, is this something from Germany? Could the point be that these people would have died from pills or anything else if no guns. Your population is around 85 million, we are 350. Million people. You have around 5.9 million guns with only 1.5 million people owning them because it’s so strict. Does Switzerland have a lot of guns smuggled in, doubt it’s for the legal gun owners. How big is Switzerland?

Do you not live in the US to know there is, along with background check?

I didn't ask that. I asked whether there should be age limits?

Uhhhh, what?

Why can't Trumpublicans make sense?

Oh, yeah, Trump. Or rather, TDS.

I reckon he’s talking about milimeters and his cock.

Don’t worry about it, unless he tries to penetrate your ear or something.

The worst thing will be his slobbering and bad breath. Like an inbred mutt with faecal breath and an under developed cock.

The signs of incel are easily read.

"The statement you mentioned is often raised in discussions about gun control to illustrate that other weapons also present a significant danger and to suggest that the focus on rifles may be disproportionate to the statistics for that specific weapon type. The interpretation of whether this is "no reason to celebrate" is a matter of personal perspective and part of an ongoing public and political debate."

5 times more murders by knife than by rifles

AI Overview
It is factually accurate that more murders are committed with knives than with rifles in the U.S., a disparity which has historically been greater than a five-to-one ratio in some years. However, the framing of this data is often used in debates and doesn't change the fact that firearms collectively are the overwhelming majority weapon used in homicides.

Key Homicide Statistics (2024 Provisional FBI Data)
According to provisional data published on Statista, the numbers for murders in the U.S. by specific weapon type are as follows:
Handguns: 6,246
Knives or cutting instruments: 1,566
Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.): 633
Rifles: 401
Shotguns: 149

Context of the Statistics
Knives vs. Rifles: The data consistently shows that homicides by knives are more frequent than those by rifles. In the 2024 data, the ratio is nearly 4 to 1.

Handguns are the Primary Weapon: While the specific comparison highlights rifles as a smaller portion, handguns account for the largest number of murders by a significant margin.
Overall Firearm Use: Firearms of all types (handguns, rifles, shotguns, and unspecified firearms) account for nearly 80% of all homicides in the U.S., making them by far the most common category of murder weapon.

So, Cliffy's statement is a lie, as is usual from a liar trumptard.

So US people always tell me that it is much safer in the USA with many weapons to defend against criminals, while we germans are helless because only crimnals own guns.
However the percentage of German deaths by guns is lower than in the USA.

Could it be that the "defence" argument is not relevant?

Could it be you didn’t understand my post since you answered absolutely nothing? Almost 6 million guns and only 1.5 million people own them. Your country is very strict and it’s very difficult to own one. We are noting the same for you to make the statements you did. Permits are given to certain collectors, hunters, or sport shooters that’s it.The number of criminal guns on the streets is not comparable and Germany is 85. Million people, and we’re a little over 350 million so the post is pointless.

I’ve lived all over the country, I have never seen someone pull a gun on anyone or gun fights or anything else related to guns. Sure you see things on the news or movies, but like I said, look at the numbers. Texas is constitutional carry, you don’t need a permit, and very rarely do you see a gun on someone. Of course if you carry it will be concealed.

Are accidental shooting listed in your numbers, I did see a da who accidentally shot themself in the leg with a 22. A friend in HS shot himself below the knee with a shotgun, that was really bad. He was jinxed, his brother shot him in the eye with a BB gun when young, and later died on his motorcycle. He also almost blew my head off, hearing the shot go by from his shotgun, shooting from behind me?? I do think someone getting a gun should have to do online or in person safety classes for the reasons above. It’s really easy for an accident to happen or bad decision making in pressure situations.
