    Their point is that there are accidental and intentional, even mass, shootings. I don’t dispute this. I’m not even against reasonable gun control laws.

    But this was supposed to be a discussion about understanding an American perspective. Not sarcastically deriding any attempt to do so.

      So then it wasn’t shallow and dismissive at all, you just didn’t appreciate the delivery. The points they made were perfectly valid and, ironically, calling them shallow and dismissing was itself shallow and dismissive. It just seems more like you used a bad analogy but can’t take the criticism.

            What is something that makes no sense to Europeans?

            That whole gun thing

            It’s analogous to modern encryption law controversies //<–me

            If you want to understand why it’s so hard to pass strong gun laws in the USA, then reasoning by analogy to the contemporary issue of strong crypto may prove helpful.
