    America isn't the only country in the world with hardware stores yet is still the only country in the world with weekly mass shootings – 80% of which use legally purchased firearms and 0% of which use home made guns.

      0% of which use home made guns

      You need to brush up on your propaganda.

      Ghost guns have been used in three separate mass shootings in California: Saugus (2019), Tehama County (2017), and Santa Monica (2013). Twelve people, including two teenagers, were killed in these shootings. Dozens more were shot and injured. The Tehama and Santa Monica shooters were prohibited from purchasing firearms, and the Saugus shooter was a minor who, by virtue of his age, was not legally able to possess any firearm under California law.

        Oh I'm sorry, they've been used in three mass shootings since 2013, which is almost 0.01% of mass shootings in that period. How terribly misleading of my propaganda.

        Practically neck and neck with the 80% that use legally purchased firearms and the 10% that use the legally purchased and poorly secured firearm of a family member.

        Except comments where I use a % – those still have a conspicuously positive score. I wonder if someone's sleazy tools are being thrown off by it?
