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

Actually the UK got out of the EU so they wouldn't have to abide by
the "same laws as Yugoslavia".

Wrong, they never had to abide by the same laws as Yugoslavia.

Although there is no Yugoslavia anymore.
They couldn't even agree on one set of laws.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than your previous.
