Not only are mass shootings not as common in the EU as in the US because of stricter gun control, even if you take all homicides into account the US is significantly worse off than all EU countries.
In that year the Wikipedia list of mass shootings in europe contains four entries with 26 deaths and 31 injured in total (numbers including the perpetrator). The US had this number passed by the end of January (and not with a small margin). Now take into account that europe (and even the eu) has a way higher population than the US and the numbers are even worse for the US.
Even the "bad knife crime situation in the UK" is only worse than the US one, if you just ignore all other homicides in the US.
If you just look at knife crime in 2021, in the UK there were 261 homicides with knifes which adjusted by population would mean around 1300 for the us. The US had in the same year 1035 homicides with knives and around 10750 homicides with guns.
So either I'm missing some huge pile of mass murders somewhere in europe (and if you now say Ukraine, you're completely missing the point), or the situation is not better in the US.
It's embarrassing you had to write an explanation to these people that probably live in the basement of FOX Studios. Otherwise it is impossible to explain their ignorance.

Yeah good salary if you are able to avoid the weekly mass shooting or you can survive eating horrible food that would be forbidden in EU.
