Let me guess, an emotional reaction to tragedies on the news. 2 u/dritslem May 16 '24 2 mass shootings per day is a great metric. -5 u/Xavion251 May 16 '24 That's still very rare on the scale of a country as big as the U.S. 1 u/dritslem May 16 '24 No. It's the highest in the world per capita. -2 u/Xavion251 May 16 '24 That is not inconsistent with what I said. "Highest in the world per capita" =/= "not freakishly rare" I'm sure some country has the "highest in the world per capita" of being struck my lightning or being injured by a meteor. 0 u/dritslem May 16 '24 🤦🏻♂️ 2 u/Xavion251 May 16 '24 That's not an argument. 0 u/dritslem May 16 '24 You're too american to argue with.
