A 14-year-old boy has been killed and four others have been injured by a man wielding a sword who attacked members of the public and police officers in Hainault, London.
This has nothing to do with parallel events since the UK and the US have vastly different laws & regulations (or lack thereof). And Americans constantly - and I really mean constantly - trying to interject their own politics into foreign topics that has nothing to do with them, trying to make the topic about them, is nothing but annoying at this point.
The only thing I can conceive is that there are pro-gun folks on here who’d rather suppress this dialogue.
Then you’re simply tone deaf because there’s not a whole lot of pro-gun folks in Europe either. But keep on making your own shit up with whatever mental gymnastics you need to make yourself feel better in reaffirming your little confirmation bias. This is, unfortunately, just proving my point though, since you completely ignore what I’m saying and continue to try to make this about you.

Yes, that is precisely my point — can’t you see? Let me attempt to spell it out:
A parallel event occurs in the UK that is common in the US: a mass casualty homicidal rampage.
We (what we learn in English composition) Compare-and-Contrast in order to learn
We take what we’ve compared-and-contrasted, and we improve.
What you seem to suggest is that comparing and contrasting is off-limits on public forums for some inane reason.
And Americans constantly - and I really mean constantly - trying to interject their own politics into foreign topics that has nothing to do with them, trying to make the topic about them, is nothing but annoying at this point.
For better or worse, Americans have a massive influence on the world stage. We are the Rome of this era. What happens in America often impacts the globe, again for better or worse. Considering this is an open community that has many Americans on here, I fail to see the issue. Like, why are you so hellbent on suppressing a conversation about improving something for Americans? This has zero impact on what happens in the UK; we’re simply contrasting experiments in other countries to see what works, and what doesn’t.
This is all in the name of improvement, and I’ll be damned if anyone tries to suggest there’s something taboo about that.
This is, unfortunately, just proving my point though, since you completely ignore what I’m saying and continue to try to make this about you.
Again, your opening sentence outright proves you are completely ignoring my point.

This has devolved to Shit Americans Say and is definitely too dense for me wanting to continue. Have a nice day.
Fair enough, you as well.
