Nice, you used the Piers Morgan defense: "There are no statistics showing private gun owners stopping Mass shootings". Well duh, because mass shootings require 4+ victims, and the presence of an armed citizen prevents the situation from occurring in the first place.
So China isn't totalitarian? You don't get to pick and choose the parts you like. Shit comes together. Power comes down uniformly.
There is no reason to assume armed citizens will cause a greater bloodbath than either unarmed citizens or the presence of police. Particularly when police are notoriously innacurate shooters.
Lol at your last paragraph. Just because I might carry, doesn't mean I can do so in the places I just listed. Mass shootings aren't happening at gun shows, NRA meetings, or just "on the street" in places where people can carry. They happen where guns are banned either by law or by private owners. Columbine, Newtown, Aurora, etc. etc.
Hahahahaha, so you're seriously sitting there and telling me that the U.S. already has far FEWER mass shootings than it would othwerwise have PRECISELY BECAUSE every Tom, Dick, and Harry is ALLOWED to carry a gun around? OMG OMG OMG listen to the corporately-brainwashed puppet speak, do you even realise how far from any kind of discernable logic that sounds?
Whether a country is dictatorial or not really has little bearing upon gun control issues because about 95% of countries in the world enforce strict gun regulations regardless of government type. Those that don't, or are awash in illegal American weapons anyway, generally see either endless civil wars, rampant bloody gangsterism, or just generally violent and dangerous societies. There are some strongly homogenous and prosperous first world countries with laxer gun control laws which aren't awash in violent bloodshed, but that's largely due to their previously-mentioned characteristics (it's not the "guns keeping them safe"), and it's hardly even necessary for someone to carry a gun for self-defence in such utopian-like societies, but the number of suicides and gunshot injuries still increase exponentially in such countries anyway.
The U.S. is not one of these peaceful countries: it's strongly divided by race, ethnicity, and wealth distribution, and has powerful veins of both gangsterism and general violent criminality, both of which are strongly fueled and literally encouraged by the freely-available guns. This is why the U.S. is currently (and there can be no arguing this fact) the MOST dangerous of all first-world developed countries. This is the pile of shit your precious little fake-penis guns have bought for you, yet you still suck on the nipple of corporate propaganda, shame shame shame...
Oh, and there are reasons mass shooters tend to pick indoor places like schools etc for shootings, and they have nothing to do with your brainwashed NRA conspiracy theories either. They're mainly to do with physics and logic, two aspects that you're clearly very lacking in knowledge of. A) Most mass shootings are generally based on a grudge against a certain place, or people that work in that place, and hardly any non-terrorist shooter is crazy enough to just open fire on a bunch of random people in the street. B) In an indoors venue it is easier for the shooter to corner and target his prey, but on the open street it's much easier for people to get out of harm's way. C) It's much easier for police to find and subdue a shooter on the open street, so that his killing spree would be over before it hardly even got started.
Now please, keep on serenading us with your wet dreams of all teachers carrying loaded firearms around with them at school...
