Germany. Can youvimagine: A country where the anniversary of the school shooting is still a news item every year after alk that time.
I wish that was the case here (Michigan, USA). We have had two in recent memory.
What are your thoughts on firearms ownership in the US, given what has happened to our government lately? Do you see merit in the idea of civilian ownership of small arms in our current circumstances?
If people in the US still believe a rogue government can be reined in by a handful of armed idiots, well, I've got a bridge for sale.
The less people have guns, the better. Less accidents, less murder and suicides, less school shootings, and less guns being bought and stolen by criminals.
And one big part of the problem is that people who should not have access to anything more dangerous than a stick can still get their hands on guns in the US.
Thats how it works in some European countries right? Most people aren't even trusted to carry a utility pocket knife.
"Handful of armed idiots" Do you consider 108 MILLION Americans to be a handful???
