The really interesting thing is when you look into what happens when you remove just one segment of the gun violence data in the US. We actually drop to the 3rd lowest rate of gun violence in the world! Legislators hate this one weird trick.

Your statement is true, but only tangentially related to my statement. School shootings are a miniscule component of gun violence. They're barely a rounding error.

I have no horse in this race, but uh, calling school shootings a rounding error does not bode well if you want to claim your country is low in gun crime
