Do you know what a straw man argument is? While I'm sure there are many liberals out there saying stupid things, most of the criticism I hear in the news is that the US is the only place where mass shootings happen regularly.

No one (making an allowance for the truly stupid) is saying that they never happen in other countries.

Wrong. The UK's stringent laws on pistol ownership (de facto ban) did not take effect until 1997

It isnt poor reporting, or politicians and activists mis-speaking - it is people simply telling lies about the truth to avoid the root problem and pursue an agenda.
Which is why I am pointing out these gross errors to you.
