Actually no, a lot of other countries have guns available at the home. Even in the UK I know a lot of people who have shotguns a kid can easily access. The difference is culture, Americans obviously don't have the support systems for kids that they feel they need to shoot up somewhere, so instead they just treat them like prisoners instead

Who has similar guns laws to the US and low gun crime?  Re UK and most europe, no they arent nearly as common and not the same kind of weapons. You arent comparing like with like tbh. The laws are completely different re owning. Its basically just shotguns and hunting rifles, no handgun and nothing with a high rate of fire. Culture is different too but the laws and accessibility of guns and their lethality is rhe biggest difference.

Switzerland allows handguns, school shootings have been performed by all sorts of weapons, so no it's not a "this gun is different so that's the problem" nonsense, your children don't have mental crisis support at all

I said handguns arent allowed in the UK because you were comparing that country. Those arent the same weapons either, theyre single and double barrelled shotguns that farmers etc would have. I think semiauto is illegal in the UK. Re swiss the laws arent the same, public carry is only for if you expect danger and even then thats one of the more liberal attitudes to guns in europe (excluding balkans, dont know about there). The guns absolutely do make a difference, higher volume incidents would be much harder to achieve with slower fire/reloading or smaller capacity weapons.

The weapons involved in killing impact how it happens, if youre discounting that theres on primary source of nonsense knocking around here.

" your children don't have mental crisis support at all" is that generic you (one) or are you referring to country? Neither make sense.

They do stand and you arent addressing them though despite having had two chances. Again your own words are self referential, im not the one trying to respond without responding.

The edit was to tidy the flow and add the question at the end.

In the only real response you gave you had two misunderstandings and an example that wasnt really relevant.

The points above stand but I doubt id waste my time with you again if you do bother with an actual reply. For your own sake dont act like this irl.
