Your "debate" has no substance. How do you know mass shootings don't happen all around the world every day? I mean really, the entire world focuses on the Almighty US of A, nobody gives a shit if some whacko in Bumfuckistan shoots up a group of people. A few people in the US get shot and the entire world mourns.
That's superiority.
I agree, I have no trouble saying a part of occident has its eyes on the US, but that has NOTHING to do with the subject. And I have no trouble admitting the US is superior to my shitty country.
How do I know? I have friends from several parts of europe and family, and well, I live in south america and we get the news of our neighboors. Or are you trying to imply there is some sort of "liberal masterplan media control paranoia-shit" that covers all of the "mass murders occurring sistematically" in other parts of the world? Plus, I read the news, digitally and paper, so you get to read stuff about other parts of the world, which some of you clearly dont. But, if you desire, name me mass murderings occurring systematically here in South America and Europe (protip: guerillas in Colombia and Favela Warlords in Brasil are NOT mass murdering, they are fighting a drug related war).
And lastly, gun control is a substanceless debate? I see...
