Unless you live in or around the town this occurred, I’m sorry to say, but really it isn’t a big deal.
The odds of your kid being gunned down by a guy with a semi-auto are about the same as you winning the lottery jackpot, I wouldn’t bet on it.
You or your family are thousands of times more likely to be killed by a drunk driver, so if you really want to improve your safety, you should invest more time and energy into prohibiting or further regulating alcohol, or educating people about the dangers of lightning bolts for that matter.
For example, did you know if lightning strikes your house, and you’re in the shower, it could easily travel through the faucet and kill you?
I learned that from watching the discovery channel years ago.
Switzerland has about as much access to guns as the states, so why aren’t they proportionately killing as many people?
Right, perhaps it has less to do with guns and more with something else.
Maybe there’s more poor Americans than poor Swiss, or poor Americans are poorer than poor Swiss. Maybe American families and communities aren’t as strong, maybe American history and culture is more violent, from the individuals to the government.
Maybe Americans take more prescription psychotropics, maybe Americans eat more junk food, hell maybe America itself is kind of toxic, but we can’t look into any of that, because that’d upset Americans, and the military industrial complex, and the corporations, especially big pharma.
If we’re going to discuss this, it isn’t just about guns, let’s at least be 3 dimensional about it.
