So anytime someone mentions mass shootings in the US and how the US has way more mass shootings more frequently than any other country, there's always someone to chime in saying something along the lines of "well, most of those mass shootings are gang related, so the statistics are skewed." I don't get it, and I was born and raised here in the US. Like, okay sure most mass shootings are gang related, but shouldn't it be all the more reason to implement gun control? To get guns out of the hands of criminals and off the streets? Sure, a criminal will still try to find a way to get a gun, but wouldn't it be more difficult for them to do so with there being over time fewer and fewer guns? Like how other countries still have gangs and gang violence, but because of stricter gun laws most of those incidents of gang violence don't involved guns.
