I suggest you reread my post above. I even added a "So, the argument in that video is that" line to suggest that the argument is made in the videos, yet not necessarily my own.
I also added "There are leaps in logic in that reasoning (such as where the fuck do they get the weapons in the first place) which is why I posted it here to initiate some kind of a discussion on the topic for the nth time", but clearly you did not see this yet are arguing as if my position equals that in the video.
Let's try again

Did I ever claim something as ridiculous as that?

Most shootings do not leave the local news, which is indicative to how common they are. With this I mean they are only covered in local news, yet not on a national scale in the US. You can check out the website I linked above. As you can see, it's literally a daily thing. Covering all of this nationally would be simply overwhelming

Yet still no one really asks kids why they do it.
I did not know that mass shootings was a problem in the UK
So, to clarify, my position is akin to "total amount of guns (also per capita)" or "ease of arming oneself" in the USA are the clear culprits of what is going on over there.
