Exceptions are rare enough that there’s only like one mass shooting a week!

In 2022 or 2023 there was one mass shooting for every day of the year. Anon was simply in the wrong place.

Looks like they're on track for another great year of mass shootings!
90 mass shootings in 101 days! At least 11 days without one, way to go USA.
I mean, most of those are gang shootings, no? Those are always a bit disingenuous to call mass shootings.
People overstate the danger.
(And 90 in a year is still a small % of people when we have 300 million, if you look at %)
So... I'm curious why you think gang shootings shouldn't count or is a bit disingenuous to include.
It's disingenuous because they're not everywhere. They're in a specific subset of high crime areas.
It's a very own problem in its own right, but when including in a statistic used to represent all of America as shooting people up is what makes it a poor and often intentionally misleading statistic as compared to how safe you actually are in the average area
They're also typically more targeted, less random
and it regularly involves a specific group of people, often times doesn't really even involve every day normal people, as opposed to a mass shooting, where the literal point is killing normal people.

Yeah but there's like 50 weeks in a year
Eeeuuuugggghhhh, my wife is a reeeeaaaaaal wife, I’ll tell ya
You wouldn't know her, she buys her knives from a different store
In any given year, more than half of all gun deaths are suicides, so really it should read...
Go back inside
Shoot self
But how would they type it?
They are a bad shot
So much potential greentext, wasted.
most gun owners are safe and cautious
I know some of the most brain dead takes that my friends with guns do. Some gun owners are absolutely crazy when it comes to gun safety and storage.
I have known a number gun enthusiasts. About half of them have been safe with them. Only one shot themself.
The numbers aren't great.

The number of people who openly admit to coworkers that they have couch guns scares me

Another take, I am super on it with gun safety, but not storage. There are never minors allowed in my home, and a gun isn't useful unless you can get to it easily and it's ready to go. Only guns resting inside the safe are unloaded, all the guns that work for a living have loaded magazines and a round in the chamber (I don't own any 1911 pattern guns, if I did, they would not be chambered.) Also, no exposed trigger, everything is in a holster.

Well he did deserve it by wearing that hat.
What hat?
Fedora with safari flaps in the back
That sounds fedorable.

Confederate flag wifebeater
this is why we need to regulate wives
I'd say we should just outright make homicide illegal so we don't have to be sexist about it.
yeah, fuck men though, they can stab as many men as they want, as long as they're in a gay relationship.

People getting stabbed with wives instead of knives now 😔
Fake. Anon doesn’t have a wife. That would involve talking to a woman.
And gay, for he got impaled from behind.
Be British
Go to the United States
Don't Get Blown up in a Cybertruck
Don't Get Shot up in a mass shooting
Don't Get Robbed shirtless by a home invasion
Don't Get Scammed broke by a crypto-coin shill
Do find the one person in the entire country who insists on doing knife crime
Marry her
Get stabbed to death
Post about it on 4chan
Could just be a story about a man getting pegged by his wife
So she was "standing her ground?"
Or stabbed by kids because wifi is down ....
See that is the problem.
All gun owners should be completely cautious and safe. That is why you background check them thoroughly.
The amount of guns mechanics find just casually sitting around in customers cars is appalling. They get stolen because people leave guns in their cars and used for crimes.
Whenever I see cars/trucks with gun stickers on the back, I assume they are rolling loot drops. Ain't no way I'm advertising what guns I have. Also not leaving my guns unattended anywhere. I spent too much on that shit to leave it out for somebody else to take.

Both the "locks away guns, guns are always empty except on the shooting range or hunting, safety conscious" person and the "gets drunk every evening and sleeps with a loaded gun under their pillow" person are actually totally safe as long as they uphold the number one rule of gun safety: "The barrel of a gun may never be pointed at a person". Super hard to shoot someone unless you are Angelina Jolie or James McAvoy or one of those bullet ricochet superheroes. Of course it's a useless rule since it is simply stating the obvious. But that doesn't seem to stop people from repeating it.

pfft this ridiculous shit - most gun owners are completely cautious and safe people - is disproven easily by reality.
https://www.jalopnik.com/youve-got-to-stop-keeping-your-gun-in-your-car-1850929717/
https://www.jalopnik.com/a-gun-is-stolen-from-a-car-every-9-minutes-in-america-1851472717/
that's a single example of the idiocy. it gets dumber the further you research. Most, bwahahahah
Anon probably deserved it
He's lucky his wife didn't have a gun.
Hmm...
This is some combination of right-wing gun-toting and sexism. A very.... wonderful combination.
If the wife knows where he keeps the guns she could and probably would just as easily shoot him.
