    Acid is not intended to kill, it’s intended to mark, shame, and terrorize.

    When Europeans want to kill, they use butcher knives, machetes, crossbows, stolen guns, or more rarely hunting shotguns.

    Gun controls only make cops less paranoid about everyone being armed.

      Haha as a Belgian this comment is hilarious. Like we’re all scrambling for ways to kill each other here without our poor guns.

        Well… Belgium had about 1.1 murders per 100k population in 2022. For comparison, Spain had 0.6 per 100k, and Italy 0.5 per 100k.

        It’s not the 6.3 per 100k of the USA, or the 53.3 per 100k of Jamaica, but yeah, people still find a way to kill each other.
