It's just not comparable to the UK

It does seem like political violence is getting worse, but to me, that's not a gun problem, it's a general level of intolerance that is spreading everywhere and that has roots emanating from hundreds/thousands of sources and amplified by social media
There's been a progressive rise in sociopathy that's been missed, I think. So it turns out even the meekest amongst us can morph into hardened criminals seemingly overnight.

And we may very well be interacting with good numbers of these people on the regular, without our knowledge (especially online). Those little interactions here and there add up and influence our worldview and probably not for the greater good...
