If you honestly compare Germany and the US, you will notice that the prevalence of rape is much higher in the US (US: ~43/100k vs. Ger: ~15/100k, source: statista.com). Comparing gang rape specifically is more difficult though, because the US doesn’t seem to keep track of that (or at least i couldn’t find absolute numbers). According to Wikipedia 22.8% of rapes with female victims where gang rapes. That makes ~9/100k in the US vs ~1/100k in Germany.
Then again I don’t think statistics regarding a lot of crimes are easily comparable. There might be differences regarding underreporting and legal definitions that skew numbers in different ways.
It’s not whataboutism when it’s on topic. You should look up that word. Also, anecdotes don’t matter when you try to compare things. Statistics do though.
The overwhelming majority of so-called school shootings are single-target attacks over gang/drug disputes carried out by poor inner-city kids. They’re victims of poverty and mental health, no amount of overnight gun reform will fix the illegal guns that these kids have access to.
If you’re allowed to mock children deaths from a mental Healthcare crisis can we mock you for your roving gangs of rape squads?

How’s wikipedia then?
Even more “whataboutism”

mental health may be one of the source causes but the cultural enabler of prolific gun ownership and worship is the missing key no other country has
edit: I will add many Americans here are pretty antigun which is great, I just wish there were another 300m like you

You may, if they are prolific and not just a single crime gang doing rounds.
