Not true. Statisticaly developed European countries have worse stats and they have more restrictive policies. Those numbers are available with a quick Google search.
Again America is huge 320 million people. Don't let the scale scew the facts

I am not advocating for guns.
I don't care either way. But when people make statements in a bias manner that is not based on rational logical information, I want to support reality. They can ban guns, I could care less. Hopefully nothing I say is taken as such. I advocate for only me, and not some broad sweeping platform. I just see a biased pattern here.
Someone does something so heinous and despicable and immediately it is eluded to that america is still the wild west.
I have read and looked at statistics and I will agree there is problem with murder and gun violence. However is america #1 as everyone implies? America has the most guns per capita of any country. thats a fact. They are not #1 when it comes to gun deaths, or even mass shooting statistics based on population and such.
The gun issue does not begin with any pro gun person. Some WILL say well americans walk around shooting each other, thats just what they do. NOT REALLY. I am not supporting right to bare arms, I am supporting if you are going to protest it, use facts please.

It is of note to that the idiot that shot the news team expressed admiration for Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold of columbine fame, and Seung-Hui Cho, of the virginia tech shooting.
So this does lend to what I said earlier about how columbine changed everything, think about it.
After that, gun violence has declined (statistically) in america, however copy cat rampages have increased a great deal.
It's not a gun problem. It has three parts
Country full of guns (you can't unring that bell)
Mental Health problems
and Media creating evil superstars out of mass shooters.

The guns amplified his capacity to harm others.
ok... take away the guns, would that have changed anything?when you say "easy access" that has 100% nothing to do with law. its about determination.
I could drive into Canada from america and i guarantee you within 24 hours I could purchase a gun on the street illegally. technically access wouldn't be easy. Easy access is an illusion.
none of you think like criminals, and thats a good thing I suppose. But they love prohibitions. banning things does not make things "harder" for black markets. It makes people richer.

You cannot deny that america has become famous, not for gun crime, but rampage shootings. Why rampage shootings? They are sensational, get tons of attention, are horrifying, and generally the people are mentally ill! Not robbing a bank. Think about it people!

America has a problem with mass/rampage shootings.
These things have been sensationalized by the media, I remember when I was younger the shock of the columbine shooting, watching it live on TV. America changed. Those two assholes became superstars. And the media helped a great deal.
There was a pew study in 2013, most americans perception was that firearm related crime was worse than ever, even though it has steadily declined over the past two decades. This shows peoples perception by what they are force fed, and what is reality in numbers don't jive
