Not exactly a problem when their gun control laws are incredibly effective at preventing gun violence

data on violent crime consistently shows that the vast majority of firearms used in offenses are obtained illegally. why punish responsible owners?

The vast majority of mass shootings are committed using legally obtained guns. 103 with legal guns and 16 with illegal from 1982 to March 2026.

Not saying you are wrong but what’s the definition of a “mass shooting”? I live in Chicago and sometimes 20+ get shot in a night and it will be 4-6 victims all done with illegal guns by gangs. I would consider 4 victims and up a mass shooting.

There aren't really any laws that define what a mass shooting is, but there are that define mass killings as any killing with 3 or more victims.
