Thing is, WE CAN DO SOMETHING! Many things! End the war on drugs and the war on terror, institute universal (inc mental) healthcare, lessen the wage/wealth gap, end mass incarceration, increase funding for education at all levels, etc. These would significantly reduce the numbers

True, but having access to universal healthcare & better social welfare programs has not prevented mass shootings in the UK only laws have achieved that outcome. Ditto Australia. We have a pretty significant mental health crisis too, only we don’t arm our mentally ill
How can you claim social welfare and universal healthcare hasn't reduced gun violence in the U.K.? Look at these numbers. Compare France to U.K., for example. Then compare US to Brazil, for example. It's socioeconomics, not guns. Source: The Guardian.pic.twitter.com/IUKoXKHcvo

Low gun violence in the UK but feel free to pull our violent crime stats per capita as a comparison. Nothing to do with socio-economic conditions & why do Americans always run to global stats to defend mass shootings? The subject IS mass shootings - want to pull stats for this?

Would you please read the chart? 100% of countries w/less gun violence than the US have better socioeconomics. 100% of countries w/more gun violence have worse socioeconomics. That's consistent. What is *not* consistent is gun violence relating to gun ownership.
