Murdered by numbers?

What if I told you banning guns is also an easy scapegoat.

What if I told you that you can’t commit mass shootings if you don’t have a gun

[u/Harambeeb → u/tfrules]

What if I told you could kill a lot more people with a fertilizer bomb if you so choose.

Can't stop crazies unless you, you know, help them get better instead of adding a barrier that wont help, you could just drive a truck into a crowd.

What if I asked you how many people used fertilizer bombs in the last 10 years?

[u/Harambeeb → u/MibitGoHan]

In the US? No idea, they probably stick to guns because of the convenience. Take them away and the crazies will drive trucks of peace to your neighborhood.

How many people died from the truck attacks in Europe last tear? How many have died from mass shootings in the US last year?

I'll give you the answer.

There were 2 vehicle-ramming attack in Europe last year.

• An IS sympathizer rammed into two police officers in Chechnya. No deaths, he was killed.

• A man struck several pedestrians and bicyclists outside of London's Parliament building. 3 injured, no deaths.

So 0 people died in vehicle ramming attacks last year in Europe.

Last year, in the United States, there were 323 mass shooting attacks, with 1661 people being shot, and 387 people dying.

I think we can all agree that we'd rather have the truck attacks.

Terrorists in Europe use more than trucks though, it was just an example of alternatives, they still use guns.

Your average in the numbers you presented is a bit over 1 person killed per attack, Europe has larger attacks spread out over time, like the Nice truck attack that killed over 80 people in one go or the Paris attack in 2015 that killed like 130 people (suicide bombs and guns).
