Why does the US have endless shootings?
Also considering it's one of the most dangerous places with high crime.
We're also one of the only few that has an armed populace and the current style regime doesn't like that.
There is no other place in the world ' other than war torn countries ' that has as many, where the msm blasts it all over tv.
My question is - if people disarm how will that stop criminals from deadly crime?
It just makes me think that people will be more " defenseless ' against violent crime.

Having more guns than people couldn't have anything to do with it. No no no. Just a big coincidence I'm sure.
"if people disarm how will that stop criminals from deadly crime?"
If guns are genuinely hard to get hold of, then it will be very unlikely the criminal will have a gun either. Braindead retards say things like "if you make guns illegal then only criminals will have them lololololol". That's not how the real world works in the slightest. If you actually crack down hard enough then criminals won't have them either. And when they do have them, it's an incredibly rare occurrence, and they often don't even have very good guns when this rare occurrence does happen.
Shootings in China for example are incredibly rare. Despite being 4 times the size of the USA people wise, it has not had a big shooting since 2013, and the guy didn't have an AR-15 but was just a hunting rifle which are legal with a license, and so not nearly as many people died as some of the US's mass shootings.
If almost nobody is carrying a gun, then you don't need a gun for self-protection from criminals. In fact, China in general has an incredibly incredibly low crime rate. The Crime Index for example rates the US as being #56 in most crime-ridden countries but rates China as #106/135, meaning in the top 1/4th of safest countries on the planet.
You can walk the streets at night on China and feel safe. You can't do that in the USA. Americans and Chinese just have different values. Americans would prefer constant fear for their lives in the name of "freedom" with complete anarchy and lack of any sort of safety controls or regulations, while the Chinese would prefer to be able to walk the streets and feel safe and don't care about arbitrary values. Confucianism promotes law and order and rejects anarchy and chaos.

roflmao. if you could get real crime statistics from any non-dictatorial third world country [and even many with a dictator], you'd see far higher crime. much crime is related to culture and America has multiple subcultures -- including some that do not feature responsibility as a key personal or family attribute

Eventually they end. Sometimes you have to wait until the shooter runs out of ammo.

Something is amiss within the liberal social engineering plan for our Country, which has given rise to a growing segment of our society who are finding themselves filled with so much anger and hatred that they become desensitized and oblivious to the real world consequences of the action of the mass murdering of others in cold blood.
