But when we install a pipeline to try and alleviate some of these external pressures, the crazies come out in droves to protest.

Becuase he was just being petty. How many bombings are there compared to mass shootings? If he had said the middle east, it would have been a bit more on point.

The main factor being, we do not want the bombs, or the terrorists. We don't give people the opportunity. Meanwhile in the US, basically everyone can get a fire arm.

@Not Quite Infinity Because there really are much more mass shootings in USA than there are bombings in major European cities... For example just the school shootings - there has been at least 30 school shootings in USA this year but how many European cities have been bombed this year? Or how many school shootings there have been in Europe in 2018? If it is more then tell me...

I guess there is a lot or Europeans ^^. It can be less funny to someone when the joke is about you. I'm French and I have to admit that I laugh at the first one but got a little bit sad (not dislike it though, that's stupid) at the second one because whe actually "lived" it. But after that first impression you have to grow up and accept humor in both direction :)

And your comment got downvoted too. BP commenters are strange, and you are not alone in noticing this. This happens all the time.

Really? In my entire life (29years) we have not had a mass shooting in Romania while you had how many? Let’s just talk about the last 5 years! Not to mention that the chances of being threaten by a gun are very slim to none in general. Other things maybe, but guns are your issue, not a common factor in the world.

Your gun violence and crime is actally much higher than it is in Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate Only South American countries are worse off than the US.

Factually, statistically, completely untrue. Our gun violence is much worse than many, many countries.

What other countries? Columbia, Brasil or Syria?

Compared to Sudan maybe... https://edition-m.cnn.com/2017/10/03/americas/us-gun-statistics/index.html

Yeah, that's why we keep having the school shootings. Because people aren't willing to believe the evidence in front of them. Things are bad and when it comes to school shootings, we are worse then a majority of other countries. If I could afford to I would leave the country.

You can come to Amsterdam! Or Luxemburg, Ljubliana, Vienna, Bern, Lissabon, Oslo, Helsinki, Warschau.....
