Guns are the issue. Fuck anyone that says otherwise.
That removes ALL other factors, and simplifies too much, it doesn't ask why a 10 year old kid had 74g of marijuana in the first place.
Guns are part of the issue, drugs are part of the issue, family and social life are part of the issue, finances are part of the issue
Just going "gun bad" solves nothing.
I do wish the US would institute proper gun control systems, like a national registry, with random checkups on how guns are stored. It won't happen, the gun lobby is too strong.
I am glad I live in northern Europe where we don't have the obsession with guns that the US has.
Wasn't aware Finland was no longer part of the Northern Europe.
I mean, we don't even remember how your nation was formed, and we had to literally kill to NOT be a part of your nation any more, so...that's part of it.
The US had to kill to not be part of Sweden?
....
Wait, the UK is part of northern Europe now?
This is the first I have ever heard of either!
From Wikipedia:
So yes - The UK is considered "Northern Europe".
Ah, I have allways thought of the UK as being part of Western Europe, sounds a bit odd including in Northern Europe when it is so far south of Sweden and Norway, but eh I am not quallified to change the definition...
Not confident enough about the geography of your own area but 100% confident about the details of legal system in a country across an ocean. Funny how that works. You know how the less we know the more confident we are in it? No? Guess they don't teach critical thinking in Northern Europe.
Hey dude, definitions of rough regional areas are based off of culture, politics, geography,and history only one of which is written in stone. For example I consider Spain to be part of both Southern and Western Europe due to being entangled with both regions. You are basically throwing a hissy fit over the geography equivalent of "water vs wader".
What?
