What the fuck. This just doesn't happen in other countries, at least nowhere near as frequently:

We need meaningful gun control like other modern democracies have now. The price of inaction is that it might be you or your loved ones next time...

There are many countries on that list with guns and they don't have this problem. Controlling the guns isn't the solution because guns are the problem. "News" in America is always an editorial, an informed opinion and not the news so it results in very heated political discourse that is nonstop in America. We need media reform to curb frustration focused media.

They have guns, but they also have much much much stronger gun control laws.

Two issues with this graphic:

  • the data is incorrect, incomplete or misleading: for instance China or India are not included at all despite having multiple mass shootings over the years
  • the data shown shows Finland with a population of 5.6 million next to the US with a population of 349 million
