The statistics are there for you if you’re interested in discussing non-gun crime. I don’t have those answers for you I’m afraid.
My assumption is that they are probably similar, pro-rata, to each other.
Ok. I guess I should look for the data as a nation then, since you had numbers for the US as a nation.
We have a lot of deadly gun crimes in Sweden also. Steadily increasing, year after year.
Do you have any news articles of it? I would like to read some is all. It is ok if it is in Swedish.
It surely can't be true as the entire US media stated Trump had been lying when he stated this fact. Sweden is the most peaceful country, trust the US media!
They write about it all the time. The most popular site is our public service broadcasting service, Sveriges Television. So, I'll give you some links from there:

En man i 50-årsåldern sköts till döds i en bostad i Tullinge söder om Stockholm natten mot fredag. Enligt polisen var det en ”okänd gärningsperson” som öppnade eld. – Vi har en hyfsad bild av vad som hänt, säger Pontus Sandulf, vakthavande befäl polisregion Stockholm. – Det är fruktansvärt. Det...
Yes, for previous years it was denied and downplayed by politically correct politicians and journalists here also. Not so much in recent years, though, now it is considered a major problem by nearly all. We even changed the government in the election of 2022, in large part, because of it.

Thank you.
Same in Finland. The leading Finnish (left-liberal) newsletter (HS, an article by HS editor Maria Petterson), for example in 2015, stated there's absolutely nothing wrong in Sweden and everything is OK. They even tried making a laughing stock of everybody stating the opposite - in exactly the same way as the Swedish, Finnish, US etc. media, and particularly the Swedish prime minister (remember his answer to Trump?) did after Trump's referring to the rampant crime in Sweden. They tried to make a laughing stock of Trump.They write about it all the time. The most popular site is our public service broadcasting service, Sveriges Television.

This (that of the Finnish media) blatant lie ("there's no crime in Sweden!") caused quite a stir in Finland and both Maria Petterson and her article has, since then, been considered a perfect example of how biased the Finnish media is. The article is still widely mentioned and referred to when talking about the bias of the local media.
Criminals allowed to flourish instead of rotting in jail where they should be. Thanks bleeding hearts
The US has just about the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world, and currently has about the highest incarceration rate it’s had in the past 100 years.
Interesting, from Statista:Overall, which I know means little to any given location, violent crime is NOT increasing in the USA. Statistics show it's not much above the lowest levels in decades though no longer continuing to decline.
Reported violent crime rate in the U.S. 2023| Statista
In 2023, the violent crime rate in the United States was 363.8 cases per 100,000 of the population.www.statista.com
“Broadly speaking, the racial distribution of mass shootings mirrors the racial distribution of the U.S. population as a whole. While a superficial comparison of the statistics seems to suggest African American shooters are over-represented and Latino shooters underrepresented, the fact that the shooter’s race is unclear in around nine percent of cases, along with the different time frames over which these statistics are calculated, means no such conclusions should be drawn. Conversely, looking at the mass shootings in the United States by gender clearly demonstrates that the majority of mass shootings are carried out by men.”
I said "military style assault weapon" for a reason. I'm aware of all of that, but it's still a high powered rifle compared to a pistol, and I'm not sure anyone would try to draw a comparison between the two of them. The AR-15 is the go-to weapon for school/mass shooters for a reason.
I'm sure you've seen the ad raising awareness for gun control where a man walks into an office with a musket, shoots, misses, and then begins the reload process while everyone is able to run away screaming. That's the sort of weapon that was available to a person when the 2nd amendment was written. Not AR-15's.
Don't try to bring facts into this, mister. He was making a perfectly good point that doesn't exist until you came along.
Sooooo.....the title of the article should read "Apple permanently closes North Carolina store" -- the "after multiple shootings" implies this was the reason. Yet, the article states this was a planned move.
Sooooo.... clickbait or nah?
Sooooo.... clickbait or nah?
I think I heard this was the reason for the Tulsa and Rosewood massacres. I could be wrong.
“More cops, more incarcerations!”
That’s the only “solution” we ever have to anything ever.
Clickbait. Media making correlative link that hasn’t yet been verified by Apple.
In the sense that they were motivated by an influx of crime-bringing black people descending on a town from somewhere else (as the quoted post suggests is the problem in Charlotte)? Not that I know of. Those massacres were the result of extrajudicial violence surrounding a black man accused of assaulting a white woman (a recurring psychosexual instigator in many infamous incidents of racially motivated rage and violence) ballooning into a riot/mob situation, with the result of widespread destruction of (in particular) black communities.

Exactly. A lot has changed since 1791.
People also seem to ignore the words "A well regulated Militia" which are the very first words of the 2nd Amendment.
🤔
Something else is that a majority of legal gun owners are black men and women who want to protect themselves.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." - Admendment II of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of the 2nd Admendment was to make a milita to ensure the U.S.A. didn't become an oppressive government. (Hence "free State"). Despite what Joe Biden has to say on the topic you COULD buy a cannon. And the musket arguement is a poor arguement considering the United States government used muskets at the time and that when new technology was made (i.e revolvers, lever action rifles, etc.) the idea of people owning those was protected by the 2nd admendment.
Or detecting weakening slowing or rapid heart rates or even stoppage to dispatch emergency personnel and alert family members that may be nearby to begin CPR.
