Montenegro to Push Gun Control After Mass Murder

On January 1, 2025, a mass murder was committed with firearms in the European country of Montenegro. Twelve victims were killed. The perpetrator, Aco Martinovic, committed suicide. Martinovic had been previously convicted of possession of illegal weapons and was appealing his sentence. Four of the victims were shot in Martinovicā€™s home. He was drinking heavily before the event. From rferl.org:

PODGORICA ā€” The Montenegrin government has announced a raft of new gun-control measures, following a mass shooting that killed 12 people, including two children.

The shooting took place on January 1 in the western Montenegrin city of Cetinje. Four other people were injured.

On August 12, 2022, another mass murder started with the murderer killing a mother and two children in his home. The killer then started killing random people in the city of Cetinje. Another seven victims were killed before an armed citizen stopped the rampage by shooting the murderer and killing him while the murderer was in a gunfight with police. From rferl.org:

The Action for Human Rights and the Center for Womenā€™s Rights NGOs called for a thorough examination of the police response, saying that Cetinje had only a minimal police presence despite being home to 120 known organized crime members and having experienced a similar massacre in August 2022, when an attacker killed 10 people and wounded six before being killed by a passerby.

If a person looks only at these two incidents and the four-year period in which they occurred, Montenegro has had .91 people killed in mass public murder with firearms per 100K population per year.

Over a 20-year period, 1998-2017, the United States had .0079 people killed in mass public murders where firearms are used. The rate in Montenegro for 2022 ā€“ 2025 was 115 times as high as the rate for the United States from 1998-2017.

The comparison is not fair because it looks at a four-year period in a country with a population of about 600,000 (Montenegro) compared to a country with over 315 million over a 20-year period (USA). When an attempt is made to correlate mass murder with firearms to the number of firearms in a country, there is no correlation. Overall, Europe does not have a great difference in the number of people killed by public mass murder with firearms. Much depends on the definitions used.

The Montenegro experience dramatically illustrates the lie put forward by the Left: Mass murder by shooting only happens in the United States. This is illustrated by quotes in the Crime Prevention Research Center study of mass public murder with firearms around the world, published in 2020. The CPRC goes on to show mass public shootings in Europe are pretty common. The study eviscerates the lies of gun control.

ā€œThe one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world.ā€ ā€“ President Obama, interview that aired on CBS Evening News, Dec. 2, 2015

ā€œThis doesnā€™t happen anywhere else on the planet.ā€ ā€” Californiaā€™s Governor-elect Gavin Newson, referring to 12 people killed at the Borderline Bar and Grill, Thousand Oaks, California, November 8, 2018

ā€œWe stand alone in the world in the number of mass shootings,ā€ Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), November 5, 2018

Claims that the USA is unique in the number of mass public murders with firearms have become scarce after the presentation of Lottā€™s paper to Congress. Mass murder with firearms has little to do with the number of firearms legally available to the citizens of a country.

( Thereā€™s more of course but once again I canā€™t paste the URL for some reason)

This is the Jist of the story though and the last parts of the pasted story is the meat of the article.
DONā€™T LET DOWN YOUR GUARD GUNNERā€™S, Just because a New Sherriff is in town the entire world of Gun Grabbers/Lefties/Progressives/Liberal Socialists are still as much a THREAT as ever.
Look @ California for a perfect example.
This bunch of self serving Eliteā€™s screw up in the Highest Order, and DURING A CATASTROPHE
(and if you are lucking enough to NOT have your house burn down the Mandatory Evac you and RESTRICT you from coming back to your dwelling! THEN! they donā€™t PROTECT your stuff from LOOTERā€™S either because they donā€™t have the Manpower or simply because they DONā€™T CARE! Adding Insult to Injury you donā€™t have any Guns to PROTECT YOURSELF!.
SHAMEFULL.
People can call me names, Insult me here but one thing I can guarantee you is No One can call me ASLEEP.
YOU VOTE THE WAY YOU VOTE YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET.
President Donald John Trump is the Countryā€™s choice. Loke him/Hate him he is in the BIG CHAIR. Our DUTY as an American is to have his back. The Left doesnā€™t get this (EVER)
Their 'Middle Class, Black, Asian, Indian, Soweto whatever Wine spiller didnā€™t make the grade
enough so for their own party now admits (quietly) they made a mistake exchanging the rancid Pudding for the Box Wine Thief.
Our system is far from perfect but itā€™s the cards we are dealt.
Point of fact this is now an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS COUNTRY TODAY and being disarmed
is not a wonderful recipe for Life longevity. The list of Atrocities inflicted on us is well known and I wont bore you here once again. But the left wonā€™t stop. ROME is still burning and already the Media Mob has moved on (almost) to blocking Trumps appointments and Reinventing Puddings disastrous reign of Terror to make him look like Thomas Jefferson Reincarnated.
ITā€™S SICK, EVIL and Typical at the same time.
Just look 2 Pudding 'Junior (Newsome) heā€™s already Lying about ā€˜Whoā€™s to blame and he will get to the bottom of thisā€™ā€¦ Look in the mirror Pal.

The simple fact of all this is ā€˜GUN VIOLENCE IS GENERALLY STOPPED BY A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN!ā€™ Period, end of story.
The Second FACT is True GUNNERā€™S (you folkā€™s) when confronted by EVIL DEEDS DONā€™T MAG DUMP! like some Cops have been known to do.
I have personally heard it more times than I can stand Cops saying variants of 'I donā€™t shoot, Practice, Train because I donā€™t have time, Iā€™m already trained, Bullets are expensive Blah, Blah, Blahā€¦ And Iā€™m not a bonified Cop basher! But WE SEE HERE more times than I like Rogue Cops, Bad Cops, Innocents dead because of carelessness, incomitance, Evil Corrupt Law Enforcement or Weaponized ā€˜Agenciesā€™. And this has to be addressed NOW. My Opinion? It will. NOW.
Keep Training
Keep your head
Situational Awareness
Stay Frosty.
God Bless Gunnerā€™s (7) LONG DAYS till relief
It may GET LOUD. (hopefully NOT an understatement)

Iā€™m not familiar with Montenegro politics.
After their recent history, I wonder if theyā€™ve begun to lean to the left.
