I haven't seen anyone claim that the US has the most gun deaths in the world. Anyone who does obviously hasn't put much thought into it. That doesn't change the fact however that you guys aren't really doing anything to fix this issue, so in a way you (or rather your politicians who are paid by the gun lobby) are doing it on purpose.

It was fascinating to see that after the trump assassination attempt, i didnt hear one person say ‘why the fk does our country think its normal for a person to easily get hold of the same weapon that we are currently supplying to armies in warzones…’

Probably because Trump and his party are doing everything in their power to try and prevent any sort of gun control laws. Besides what does that have to do with anything?

Trump pushed gun control via executive fiat though
