Here’s the Google translate version of the article. The rest is hidden behind a paywall.

“Joel, Lynne, Paige and Joshua (44, 43 and 11) live in Austin, Texas. The weapons you see in the photo are only 80% of their entire collection. GABRIELE GALIMBERTI
REPORT - More than a constitutional right, they represent an important fragment of the culture of a country which, year after year, suffers a terrifying number of mass shootings. Photographer Gabriele Galimberti set out to meet these gun enthusiasts.

“It was 2:04 p.m. on Friday, July 2, 2021 when a police patrol in Norfolk, Va. Received the call. “Multiple shots” at 900 Madison Avenue. When they arrived, the officers found no casualties - they were already in the hospital. Four children, wounded by bullets. A 6 year old girl, a 14 year old boy and two 16 year old teenagers. The vital prognosis of the first is engaged; the others, including one shot in the jaw, are miraculously out of danger.

The news item, for which a 15-year-old will be arrested later today, did not make headlines in the United States. One more drop of water in an ocean: In Norfolk, in July alone, a dozen children were killed. Across the United States, for the seventy-two hours of the “4th of July” weekend (the equivalent of our July 14) when this Norfolk shooting took place,”

My comment is, they are conflating our gun culture with the mass shootings, which are typically caused by the criminally insane. Nor do they consider the difference in gun laws between Texas and Virginia, nor the restrictive gun laws in major cities, where the shootings typically take place.

I’m sure others can point out other inconsistencies.

The growth of the Criminally Insane is a bigger problem than the gun growth.
