    No…no it does not…how are you even able to say that as a fact lol. Ukraine has lost around 31k soldiers since the invasion. Mississippi does not have 15k+ gun deaths a year.

      Military losses are not part of the civilian gun deaths. Ukraine lost only 10k civilians over two years. That’s 133 deaths per 1m. Mississippi is more dangerous than an active war zone, that’s a fact.

        And that’s not even the only comparison.

        https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/10/31/1209683893/how-the-u-s-gun-violence-death-rate-compares-with-the-rest-of-the-world

        US gun violence rate higher than nearly all Sub-Saharan countries, which are among the world’s poorest.

        When casualties of military conflicts are factored out, the US gun violence rate is higher than even countries in conflict ridden regions like the Mid-East

        Saying Ukraine during an active war which already had lower civilian gun deaths than the usa and then saying “no that’s not what I meant” is hilarious. It’s like if Germany or Poland were invaded and you said the same thing. You’re post is pointless.

            Ukraine pre-war already had a lower firearm homicide rate than the US…on top of that, they armed a huge portion of their population when they were invaded…so your point is even worse since they gave out literal assault rifles to civilians and their firearm homicide rate was still lower… sounds like its not the guns.

                Lol yea safer and they handed out rifles to civilians…so what is it? Is it the guns still or not? Because last I checked militaries fight each other with real guns, not nerf.
