Denver police have arrested a 13-year-old boy accused of fatally shooting a man whose leg was blocking the aisle on a public bus.

Yes it does. People under 18 getting hold of firearms and behaving like idiots with them is something that gets reported on frequently in the US and the US alone.
But sure, name all these other places where this happens on a regular basis.
Mexico? Except guess where Mexico gets most of their illegal firearms from…
You’re just clutching your pearls thinking “Children with guns in polite society? Good heavens!!!”
Stop this nonsense. You only hear about the USA because you are on USA focused social media and you can’t speak any language used in Asia, Africa, or South America where they have 13 year olds with machine guns.
Lmao how America-brained do you have to be to say that thinking 13 year olds having guns is a bad thing is “pearl clutching”
No. 13 year olds should not have guns.
And I’m from Asia you nitwit. I speak a couple of Asian languages, as well as a couple of European ones, such as the one I’m speaking now.
Asia does not have a gun problem. Africa does not have a gun problem. You made that up and tbh it just sounds like racist dog whistle - “those uncivilised darkies and slit-eyes are violent savages! Their children have machine guns! No I don’t have any proof, don’t ask!”
South America yeah, particularly Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia. And so does the US. Forgive me for having higher expectations of the highest GDP country in the world than I do of fucking Venezuela.
Children should not have tools designed expressly for quick and easy murder. If you think otherwise, cool. Have a good think about it next time you’re on the bus and a child shoots you when you do something to mildly inconvenience him.
I love how you put a bunch of words in my mouth that I never said just to defend yourself.
I didn’t.
And the facts I have you spoke for themselves.
Come on. Where’s your evidence of Asia and Africa having gin problems? Of kids with machine guns?
Seriously? Use a search engine from time to time.
Here’s one. Educate yourself.

Gotta give you credit, it was very clever of you to link to an article without any real stats, but which makes it sound really rife.
It was a good try, but no.
United States: 11 gun deaths per 100k.
South Africa: 6 gun deaths per 100k.
South Africa is the most violent place in Africa by far, and isn’t representative of Africa at all, and still has a gun homicide rate that’s roughly half of the US.
Really only South America (actually mostly central America and Brazil) and South Africa, Mali and Somalia fit into that stereotype. The rest of Africa and all of Asia (except Thailand, which is still significantly lower than the US) have very low rates of gun violence.
Some are higher, some are lower. I’m not trying to comment on stereotypes, I’m just saying the person pushing “USA is the only country with gun violence” (paraphrase) just can’t see past their nose.
Basically everywhere that isn’t Canada, Europe, China or Australia.
That’s absolutely not true. Data shows the only countries with higher gun deaths per capita than the US are all central and parts of South America. E.g., India’s per capita gun death rate is 0.56 vs 4.12 in the US.
You literally made that up. It’s the US and a few unstable countries in South America.
South Africa, one of the highest homicide rate countries in the world, with a murder rate 6.5x higher than the US, has half the gun homicide rate of the US.
India has has 1 gun homicide per 100k. The US has 11 per 100k.
But yeah. Keep telling us how everywhere outside of Europe and Australia is like this. It’s BS.
Places that report news in English or are currently controversial to English speaking news.
Why are only English-speaking countries relevant?
But fine, Sudan. South Sudan. South Africa. Liberia. Sierra Leone. Ghana. Nigeria. Jamaica.
Im saying that news that isn’t a “global scale” from smaller countries whose news isn’t in a language that a person can read generally never makes it to their eyes. Some people assume that if they haven’t read it, it hasn’t happened.
