New Zealand shooter, incel Canadian van driver.

Edit: Ariana grande concert in the UK. Literal result of imperialism. I can keep adding more.

Sure there's instances but not on the same level as the US.

This might be a valid argument. Please do note that I said, it's not JUST the availability of guns. It could also be argued that because America is the most imperialist currently, that it has more instances.

To be completely dismissive of justifying violence as a solution for problems abroad and it not having an impact here is wrong.
