YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.
Plenty of countries have issues providing enough healthcare, only one has the US gun culture.
It’s easier to get guns in many EU countries than many US states.
And do those states have fewer mass shootings?
No. California has some of the strictest gun laws and leads the country in mass shootings. New York also has ridiculously strict gun laws and is up there on the mass shootings count as well.
(Though also let’s be real the shootings are just correlated with large dense populations in the current US climate, not if the state is red/blue. So let’s drop the gun law security theatre, there are a million factors that influence gun violence more than restricting the rights of everybody.)
