I understand your point however, its not the fact USA has guns which is why they have these killings. Ask any US citizen and they will say their* educational system is bad, they dont invest enough resources into schooling etc. Also we cannot compare countries with 40m people to a country with 400m. Its a lot* easier to control crime with a lower number of citizens and in this case, Australia or Canada make up 1 entire US city. Thats how big the USA is to those countries. Also Canada and Australia have a better educational system or at least invest more into it than the States. Crime is crime, if they wont kill you with a gun, they will kill you with something else. Its why in my opinion taking away something from people to stop crime is just a quick patch up to an issue that wont last long. If a killer wants a gun, they will get one regardless of the laws. |
Yes, yes it is. It is distinctly the ease in which any non-felon and non-diagnosed insane person in this country can walk into any random Wal-mart and purchase a weapon. Hell, apparently even if you were expelled from school for having a hit list and a rape list you can still grab weapons and body armor no problem.
The US education system is not the best at the K-12 level due to its one-size-fits-all approach, but at the collegiate level it's leagues above the rest which is why people flock here from across the globe to take advantage of it.
It's vastly more difficult for someone to commit the types of mass slaughter that have become prevalent with something other than semi-automatic rifles. Running away is a viable option against a knife, not so much against a bullet.
