the uk banned guns in 1996 after a school massacre and that means there has only ever been one school shooting in the uk and since then there has only been one killing spree which was 2010. thats one in 20 years. i get that america is a whole lot fucking bigger but it gets to a point where the people have to stop being babies with grabby hands and realise that maybe that the correlation is because guns cause gun crime. its not that hard.
all it takes is one homophobe with a gun. just one. in a gay bar opened in honour of the owner’s brother who died from aids, named specifically for his heartbeat as a place that was intended to keep his spirit alive. shooter saw two men kissing in front of his wife and kid and got “very angry”. 50 people dead, 53 in the hospital, because one guy who owned a gun saw two guys kiss and got mad
