“One country has seen over 500 mass shootings in 2023 alone, while the other has had less than a handful over the past twenty years.”
.
Most folks know exactly why but will not say it in public.
But they know...

The swiss and americans both enjoy food as well. Americans seem to be much more obese. Perhaps all of this is related.

I think it proves a point I often try to make. It’s not about the guns. It’s about the culture.

Plenty of white guys going on shooting rampages over the past 20 years. Sandy Hook, the Vegas guy, Charleston Church, Pittsburgh Synagogue.... it goes on and on.

Americans and Swiss citizens have some of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world, but their gun cultures differ wildly. One country has seen over 500 mass shootings in 2023 alone, while the other has had less than a handful over the past twenty years How many minorities do they have in Switzerland?
I've read articles that claimed if you removed the minority crimes from the US, we have a lower crime rate than any place in Europe.

What’s a “mass shooting” these days? Three victims? Four? Face it...the urban drive-bys blow our statistics up.

I've read that anti-psychotic drugs are a common factor in all the cases you've mentioned. There are people that argue the medications these people used actually *MAKE* you psychotic.
Perhaps someone more familiar with this argument will chime in?

I once rented a Swiss car but couldn’t get the dang thing out of neutral.

Not really fair to Europe to leave their minorities into their stats, and not exclude for a accurate stat. We are full of violent people in America, we have always had that.
Europe has had the advantage of weening out their men and genetics via world wars. The opposite comes into play that they are full of more pussies now, though we are catching up.

complete bs.
anyway, at a guess, our population .5 billion (counting illegals). swiss about .005 billion this we have .5 / .005 = 100x difference at the outset. meaning on population alone we ought to have about 100 for every one of their’s. after that we dice their lying statistics and i bet the homcides our population of law abiding, *citizen* gun owners is comparable or better than theirs.

We could start with Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors.
That would cover more than half of the incidences.
Another large percentage would be near-retards guided into it by feds.
By the time one has waded through all that crap there would be a few more waiting in the wings for a visit from their “FriEnD.”
Lets not leave out our impulsive friends pulling pistols over a garden hose or some chicken nuggets...

I should rephrase my statement to say it was true *BEFORE* Europe imported so many Muslims/Africans. I haven't seen recent stats, but 20 years or so ago, the argument was correct. Nowadays they have massive amounts of violence in Europe, including gun violence. In Sweden they even have grenade violence.
The only places in Europe that haven't seen explosions of violence are Poland and Hungary. Both kept out "immigrants."
