Not true. When the racist right-winger went on a shooting spree in a shopping mall in Allen, Texas in May of this year he killed eight and injured seven before a police officer shot and killed him. 

Extreme Far right.

The right winger, yes.

Well, what a shock.  ANOTHER mass shooting in a country where the gun is king

I agree   -   Who would have expected that in such a law abiding country.

Similar to us with knife crime and we,  like America,  can't stop ours either.

We still try to tell everybody right from wrong though just the same.

And here's three incidents I found from a 30 second Google search where someone brandished a gun and was put down. It's well known that you're more likely to be killed by a member of the public if you try and commit crime in a state with high gun ownership rates.

Does it though? Most of the gun violence takes place in the states with the strictest gun laws. If you outlawed guns completely then criminals and psychopaths would still get their hands on them, as there's already more guns than people in the US. All you'd be doing is disarming law-abiding citizens who wouldn't be able to defend themselves. If this incident had happened in Texas then a member of the public would have dropped the guy as soon as he started firing.

 Strict gun laws here but the criminals get them quite easily .

Which naturally explains why there have been 48 mass shootings in Texas so far in 2023.

Police have released images of a man with a military-style assault rifle in a bowling alley and say they are looking for "armed and dangerous" Robert Card.

The 40-year-old, with 20 years military service, worked as an army firearms instructor and recently spent time at a mental health facility after hearing voices, according to an internal police notice.

Police officers, many armed with rifles, have taken up positions across the city, and roads have been shut as the manhunt continues.

The guy had threatened to shoot up an army base and was hearing voices - but was allowed to keep a gun...................................................

Don't make the silly mistake of confusing Far right for right wing.

I understand it's the narrative of the left to try and brainwash the naive into thinking they are the same but hopefully you can see through that.

So it isn’t even worthy of discussion, nice to know that it’s all fine.

I'd love to see your evidence for that.

Irony, given your many desperate and pathetic attempts to do precisely that, when it's anything you perceive as even vaguely  "left"? 🤣
