I think that Piers Morgan has a point, but I'd change that to:
just-admit-you-dont-care-ENOUGH-about-mass-shootings.

You've been on alt.home.repair long enough to know that the
prevailing
American attitude is, "If it didn't happen to me, it doesn't
matter."

Look at all the COVID fools. "I had a mild case, so it's a big
nothingburger."
"I've been going to the big square dance every weekend for a year
and
didn't catch nothin'."

Indeed.

Of course, there's something that Morgan (and other foreigners) tend
to
forget.

There's no "The" United States. There's 50 of them or 331 million of
them
(depending on how you look at it). Even after almost 100 years of
expansion, the federal government still doesn't have the power to
control
everything in the way that other governments do.

That's very true. Separate states having different laws seems counter
productive to me in many cases. Covid and gun laws are classic
examples where working as one using universal laws would make action so
much simpler and more efficient, IMO.

In some cases a universal law makes sense but the states stretch out
thousands of miles, vary in population density, climate,topography,
industry.

Are your laws the same as Yugoslavia? Germany? Why not?

I can't see how the states that vary in population or the distance or
climate etc makes a difference to having certain nationwide laws

The laws protecting our coastal waters are not the same as needed in South
Dakota. Laws for the use of ice melt chemicals in the North are not needed
where it never freezes.

States rights goes back to our Constitution.

You did not answer my question. Are your laws identical to Yugoslavia?
Why not? You are both in the EU

The UK has left the EU.
