Gang members killing themselves. 95% of killings in Chicago and Milwaukee is gang members killing themselves. The rest are usually stray bullets killing innocent people and IN EVERY INCIDENT where an innocent person is killed, the killer is caught within days.
When gang members kill themselves, no one, even the victims family is willing to cooperate with the police, they prefer to take out vengeance.
The problem in Nigeria is too much random killings and no prosecution.

Still, its lives lost.

The killings in Nigeria are mostly communal.

Ebonyi, Cross River, Benue, Nassarawa, Plateau.

Much as it isnt excusable for deaths in Nigeria, neither is it for those gang related deaths in the States.

And the regular mass shootings where something like 1 to 30 people are killed at a go?
It could be in a mall, a school, work place, a disco, a concert, you don't know where the next one will strike. And you feel safe?

While almost everything is true the last two aren't.

Don't you have dreams? Where is the enabling environment to see it through?

I believe elders in your locality have wisdom but where is the power to utilize or exert such wisdom?
If you are not in power your wisdom is only constrained to the powerless and becomes just a rant at best.

You guys should stop peddling these half truths about the US gun rights. Their constitution guarantees the right of its citizens to bear arms. And that's why they are the freest people in the world today. Not even their own government will dare to oppress them with a tyrannical abandon like is currently done all over the world - including the EU and the UK.

Here's an excerpt from a report you may want to look into before you start spewing your anti-US rhetorics on gun violence:

Researchers counted about 209,000 gun deaths in 1990 compared to 251,000 in 2016. The average rate, about 4 per 100,000 people, was mostly unchanged.



Two-thirds of the deaths in 2016 were homicides, although the U.S. is among wealthy countries where suicides by gun outnumber gun killings , the study found.



Yes, that's because the US knows that nothing stops a bad guy with a gun like a good guy with a gun.


jomoh:

According to report aired on Aljazeera in a documentary on gun control, 37,000 people were killed in the US by gunshot in the year 2017 alone.


That is more than times 3 what herdsmen and Boko Haram combined has killed in 3years.

Any data to support this your blatant lie about the US?




I don't usually respond to mentions by people who are too lazy to follow the news, or people who are still analogue in a digital world.
However, for the sake of my good mood let me educate you a little.
As at March 19, 2019, the number of mass shootings in the USA stood at 61. Hey! That's for 2019 only.
In 2018, there were 340 mass shootings in the US, a slight reduction in the 346 recorded in 2017.
That's an average of over 28 shooting per month in 2018... I'm sure you know that's a massacre of people almost every other day!

No one is saying they aren't more responsive but the issue of violent deaths especially in the US cannot be overlooked.

If you must make excuses for them, you must do the same for Nigeria.

Both Countries do seems not to be safe but yes America would be rated safe than Nigeria because all crime are reported and those I line with such crimes are always brought to book regardless of who ever is in power and no matter how long it takes for justice to pass it's judgement and this alone would scare people off from getting involved in any evil act with the fear of being caught...Any nobody is ever above the law....
Nigeria is yes our country but sincerely how much freedom do we change even as Nigerians in Nigeria...The only thing I pray is God heal our lands and make things right cos most people are self centered as those who really want to make things work are either influenced and should one not allow to be influenced get pulled out with propaganda or such lives taken away for no specific reason.....

Father Lord...Let all stormy water over Nigeria be still this very day....Amen...

And in EVERY SINGLE CASE, the killers have been killed or are in jail.

Name one case from ANY STATE where masses have been killed ,that killers have been convicted and jailed. From Zamfara to Rivers to Benue.

Crimes are investigated in America, culprits charged and jailed or executed. ALL the criminals involved in mass shootings were either shot and killed or are in jail for life. All were arrested within 24 hours.
Robbers who robbed our house in Ikeja in 1996 have not been identified or arrested till this day.
Those who killed dozens in Zamfara last week have not been identified nor arrested. The suspected cultists who killed some people in Port Harcourt earlier this month are still walking free.
The kidnappers who killed the Lagos Fire Director last Saturday have not been identified.

The killer of Dele Giwa is still unknown
The killers of Alfred Rewane 23 years ago have NEVER been identified.

You can add to the list.
Exactly. Bola Ige, Funsho Williams and several others have been killed and uptill date, killers have not been identified sad
