They don't have absolute power but they can gain enough support if random shootings keep happening. I mean look at the data 250+ shootings only in the Jew.S.A. but for the rest of the world it's only 6-8. 6-8 shootings you can say "yeah people do some messed up things" but 250+ when everywhere else it doesn't come close to that number? There's gotta be something there.

Exactly, it's their fucked up culture. Americans also have far higher rates of mental health problems compared to other countries. They have worse mental health than placesc which have been at war for 50 years.

And if it was political then you'd see other countries with weak gun laws and power grabbing politicians doing the same thing to strengthen them, but that isn't the case. The USA is the only country with this problem.

The way you cut shootings isn't just through laws, it's by not turning the shooters into celebrities or the tragedy into a melodrama. This is what the US media do every single time. And it isn't because of politics, it's because that's what the audience there wants.

Like I said, if you shoot up a school you'll be on TV and you'll be all over the news anywhere in the world.
