   If you don’t have the gun companies trying to put a gun in everyone’s hands, people can just ask another person to move out of their driveway.

     @FrockCoat @philip_cardella @TonyStark live in a country without guns. People have mental health problems here too but I don't worry about being shot for pulling into the wrong driveway. Why is that?

     How can it be the guns? Such incidents did not occur in earlier times when guns could be even purchased via mail from a catalog.
     
     It is not the guns. It is mental health, and intention in case of deliberate criminal activity. But in that case no gun control will ever help, since criminals do not care about laws anyway.

     @TonyStark it's just so vile.

     It's absolutely the guns.

     But the right wing fear machine isn't helping at all. Crime is at near historic lows and people are acting like it's Cabot Cove 1984-1996.*

     *The joke, for any who don't get it, is the town murder she wrote was set in, if it were real and had that many murders, would have been the murder capital of the world right about the peak of violent crime in actual US history.

     @FrockCoat @philip_cardella @TonyStark So the guy who stabbed everyone in Sydney was not from the "diverse" background of which you speak. He killed a lot of people but if he'd he'd had a gun do you genuinely imagine that situation would have worked out better than if he'd had a knife?He would have killed more people surely. Yes the real issue is male violence but allowing them to have guns is no solution to anything.

     Is is a country with high "diversity" or low "diversity"?
     If it is high diversity, are there many knife crimes instead so that the homicide rate is about the same as in a country with guns?

     @philip_cardella @TonyStark Maybe they blocked you. It's a nasty troll account full of predictable shitty opinions. I think you're better off not seeing it frankly.

     @BetsyBeeee @FrockCoat@bassam.social @TonyStark Who is this frockcoat account? Is everyone else seeing the account is tiny? Or did the account block me and I'm seeing wrong info? Or are they already gone?
