      Interesting you mention “rich countries.” Oddly enough, 2% of US counties account for 51% of the murder rate. Those 2% of counties happen to be some of the poorest areas in the entire country. Turns out wealth inequality is actually a pretty high contributing factor to a lot of things, not only “one of which is violent crime regardless of weapon type,” but even “that and wealth inequality contributes to other things that also contribute to violent crime.” Matroska style.

      Sure, every once in a while someone Chris Benoits their family, (or since he didn’t use guns should I say they Benjamin Glenn Hoffmann some people), but the vast majority of murders are not family annhialators or mass shooters, the vast majority are all related to socioeconomic issues and litterally dudes like O-Block, or PIRU, or GD, or SUR13, etc.
