> It is a cherry picked example and has nothing to contribute to the overall argument that gun ownership makes the US safe.

It obviously makes the argument that Texas isn’t New York or London and has little street crime, as a result of gun ownership. You wanted to understand the mentality? That’s the mentality. No road men in Austin.

> Otherwise I can point to the many mass shootings in the US and say that would never have happened in the UK.

Yes you can. That’s a fine argument, I agree with it. I’ve made comments about not wanting to die because someone had a bad day earlier in this thread supporting exactly this argument. You’re arguing with someone else rather than reading my responses.
