Still, the population of Europe is higher than the population of US and as discussed earlier there seems to be a real problem with shooting and killing civilians. Most shootings occur in the US and that's where the problem is in my opinion. It's a cultural 'thing'.

Never said nothing like this happened abroad but rather than this practise is mainly observed in the US.
No. What you said was:
You don't get anything remotely similar in Germany, France, the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, name whatever country you want.
Which is it?

If you don't attack cops, the likelihood of getting shot by them drops dramatically.
FYI
Obviously.
But do you so other problem that other countries don't seem to have?
Yes, America has a culture that disrespects authority, thinks a work ethic is racist.
I am not quite sure about this.
But even if it was true dies this merit the shooting and killings of civilians at this alarming rate?
Ummmm, don't attack cops.
They have guns.
I typed this as slowly as I could so you can understand.
Doesn't matter how fast or slow you type.
My question hasn't been answered yet. Don't you see anything wrong with the whole approach? Because shooting and killing civilians is a practise mainly observed in the US. There are incidents in other countries but they are rare in comparison.

Most shootings occur in about 5 liberal cities. If you removed them from the count we would be extremely safe comparable to EU and other like places, so yes it is cultural in those cities. America is also an overall more aggressive country than many in EU. As I said, I would rather shoot someone than let them put me in the hospital, so don't try and beat me to a pulp.
I was in France and got surrounded by 4 guys on the subway who were working on taking my wallet. They were a pickpocket team and kind of pinned me in a counter acting like they didn't know what they were doing. I kept my hands in my pocket and pushed through them and handed my wallet to my wife then turned around and walked back to them and said.."really" and just stood there looking at them waiting for one to make a move at me, but they didn't and next stop quickly got off the train. Would a French guy act the same, maybe not...
Americans are different ion many ways...

Quit changing the narrative.

Might be premature but I'm gonna go ahead and diagnose this situation as a parenting failure. Any kid ages 8 to 17 who doesn't know enough about fundamental civics to comply with law enforcement and the deadly consequences of physically threatening law enforcement, has not been adequately schooled by their biological or appointed guardian.
And to take this thought train a few stops further. Do we really want these sort of people breeding to make more "intellectually challenged" individuals that will further require ever more resources to keep in check?
If they want to free base HF corn syrup and stare at the screen all day for feelz then why should the rest of us have to suffer for it? F `em, we`re trying to get back to the cosmos here, not cater to retards.

For some reason saw edged spades are being advertised heavily. www.jmldirect.com...
Maybe it's all about demonising tools that feed people.
Traditional Okinawan Weapons Weapons of Okinawan Karate – Japanese Terms Okinawa, with a long history of both Chinese and Japanese suppression that also outlawed the possession of conventional weapons (such as swords), developed a unique range of substitute weapons that became an integral part of Traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-Do.

So how does the U.S. Government disarm Citizens and confiscate all the guns and weapons ??
How many would be an "acceptable" number of casualties (deaths and major injuries) in the process? 😬

This OP is without a doubt a poorly worded and ignorantly reasoned 2nd amendment hit piece.
It’s almost like the OP is rabidly anti America, anti science and anti common sense all at once.

...there is nothing more unreasonable as to have an entire population having complete and unrestricted access to all sorts of weapons and guns
and a state that has lost the plot when it comes to gun crime and killings of civilians by the security forces.

I have travelled in Europe and in the US and there is no comparison between the way people deal with this issue. In most European countries possession and use apart from unlawful is considered stupid and dangerous. People say to firearms and weapons broadly speaking.
