Yeah, unfortunately, we have a whole new thread for quaking-in-their-boots stand-your-ground types who need to shoot children to assuage their fears.
Shoot anything that moves: Hair trigger gun nuts standing their ground.

The national response in Serbia could not be more different - no talk of 'false flags' or 'crisis actors', just people marching in the streets and handing in weapons; similar to the response in Australia after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre

im talking Sweden. True, nowhere near as many (21 guns per 100 people) but still, all those IKEA instruction and still no daily mass shootings.

xpost 21 guns per 100 people vs. 120 guns per 100 people is a HUGE differencealso their licensing requirements are far far more restrictive than the UShttps://www.lifeinsweden.net/sweden-gun-laws/#:~:text=Please%20note%20that%20it%20is,transporting%20process%20when%20transporting%20guns.

Swedes may dispute this - they claim to be just more honest in reporting about suicides, rather than actual higher rates. The US has had a lot of 'accidental deaths' while someone was 'cleaning their gun' etc.

HUGE enough to cover the variation in murder rate by gun?
or what, exactly, are you arguing here?

What are you arguing? That if the average number of guns was the same Americans would still be killing more people because we are violent savages?
― INDEPENDENTS DAY BY STEVEN SPILBERG (President Keyes), Tuesday, 23 May 2023 17:37 (eleven months ago) link
there was a story in the wsj about this just yesterday. Sweden had 62 gun murders last year (population ~10.5M), which the article said was 1/6 the US rate. so...~1/6 the number of guns as the US, 1/6 the number of murders? it also said that rate is 30x (!) London's.

And why wouldn't you be? You're fed a solid diet of highly individualized, us versus them (but really me versus everyone), fear and resentment from day nought. You are taught to treat your country like a beloved sports team even though that team, your government, is literally killing and bankrupting millions of their own citizens and somehow making you think its another citizen or group of citizens fault. We all know this but no one will ever do anything about it because no-one seems to understand the govt works for us, we dont work for them. Above all, in good times and bad, one must stand behind the team.

I suppose pulling it into % gun ownership and overall shootings was a poor start away from mass shootings which like it or not is pretty inarguably something associated strongly as a modern american phenomenon

Heavy amount of firearms + high social inequality + lack of social connection + slowly cascading collapse of infrastructure both civil and physical
all contribute. But also a deliberate prevention of any ability or process to try to address this stuff, too.
