NY State has some of the strictest gun laws in the country by the way. The guy would have been gunned down in Texas by law abiding citizens with concealed carry licenses

It's still a minefield though. I really don't approve of governments selling weaponry and arms to other governments. Israel takes the biscuit with that! Though of course, it is everywhere.
I still look at this country and see zero gun crime. There are no guns here. It makes sense.
If a country really feels so strongly about being able to own guns in the home then fair enough. These things will continue to happen on a regular basis. All I can do is to ensure that I don't live in the U.S.![]()
I'm betting someone lost a job and has a huge grudge.Can u imagine that.....wasn't this a citizenship processing event?
National crime rates compared
guns or not your crime rate isn't really better.
now I'm sure this pales in comparison to the US but I guess there are guns in the UK

I'm English but don't live in the UK. The UK is going to the dogs too. No, wouldn't want to live there either!
The UK does sicken me because I actually really do love and have a fondness for the place. I'm not happy with the obvious social and cultural decline that's been going on for too long however. Makes me shudder.
There are reports of 150000 Mexican soldiers deserting in the last year and taking their weapons with them. The 90% number that gets thrown around is BS. 90% of the weapons the Mexican govt returned to the ATF were manufactured in the US. I mean if your a billion dollar cartel king who needs to arm your thugs are you really going to go through trying to squeeze maybe a dozen at a time through the US border or import from Chinese/Russian manufactures who are cheap and have less red tape. Hell with FARC in Colombia just to the south why go outside Latin America at all.

It should be stated that Texas has a higher death by firearm rate that both California and New York. There is actually a noticable trend of states with the loosest gun laws have more deaths by firearms.
StateMaster - Firearms Death Rate per 100,000 (most recent) by state
Washington DC is an obvious exception to my statement, but follow the list down. Arizona has very lax gun laws has three times the gun caused fatalities of New York.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
It doesn't really qualify gun deaths. Suicides/Accidents/Self Defense/Homicide/ or all of the above
