You mention studies without linking to papers. Any results you can share?

I wasn't cherry-picking. I used the list from here:

Even if we take Norway and France out (since I don't want to go through the trouble of removing the two incidents that undoubtedly raise the ranks for these two countries) the point still stands: there are many countries with extremely strict gun laws that rank well ahead of the US.

According to this 2018 paper the US is well in the middle of the pack worldwide both regarding mass shootings and murders on a per-capita basis:

Why do you think it's OK to profit from racism?

You keep talking about mass shootings in the context of gun regulations and school shootings, at least in your responses here.

Are you aware that the US does not rank in the top 10 (North America & Europe) when looking at annual deaths per million? France, for example, has no legislation comparable to the 2nd amendment, self-defense is near-illegal, yet it has had more than 4x the mass shooting victims over the US between 2009 and 2015.

Are you aware that most mass shooting incidents in the US are categorized as gang violence?

I'm not trying to say you're disingenuous, and some of your points I agree with, but shouldn't these points (i.e. legislation does not do much, our kids aren't in perpetual danger) receive a fair shake?

On what?

Regarding self-defense, I'm not going to cite French law for you but this will give you an idea on the overall sentiment in France (and in most of the EU, actually):

I linked the statistics earlier.
