Off topic: I consider the '-' in my comment scores to be the forum equivalent of a dueling scar. People who won't refute downvote.
Oddly enough, while attempting to say another country does (in a single particular instance, not even overall) something better than the US, only gets downvotes to negative, when I actually attempt to defend the US (some of my best friends are Americans!), the whole tree gets flagged.
In US social mores, is it considered uppity to mention that other countries and other people exist?

12 uses (not necessarily deadly) of a gun in 2018 would be what, 480, scaled to US population?
In the last 20 years, police snipers have had to kill once.
That would be twice per year for the US.
