  • Thank you

    Every nation on earth has its blind spots and baggage. Sometimes it takes an outside voice to see the real ills of a society. In this case, the U.S. "fun with guns" fetish is exposed again. Thank you for providing a glimpse of logic in the whole mess.

    No other "developed" or "civilized" country in the world allows this kind of violence via gun ownership and the veil of "freedom". In fact few "developing" or "uncivilized" countries allow this sort of crap.

    Indeed, as long as the U.S. allows guns on-demand, it's clear we're a barbaric society. No one should be shocked. Ultimately we make our own bed before sleeping in it.
