Alright, anyone who believes America's stance on guns is correct please listen to me:
Every country has crazy -blam!-s that'll go mad and start venting their frustration on everyone else, unleashing their violence at everything in site, performing violent acts etc.
When you give these guys easy access to guns, this happens.
Don't say, "Oh but if they want a gun they'll get one." Say the shooter here bought his gun in 2009, because he needed it 'for protection' when he was a happy, normal man, then his life took a turn for the worse in the last three years. Now he's a crazy -blam!-, and not just that, but an armed, crazy -blam!-. He comes home after a bad day at work, sees his gun under his table and grabs it.
Not every killer is a Breivik-style mastermind of planning and ideology. Some people just go mental at times, and if they already have easy access to firearms within their home, it's no wonder this happens so often in the US.
>>>This article examines a broad range of international data that bear on two distinct but interrelated questions: first, whether widespread firearm access is an important contributing factor in murder and/or suicide, and second, whether the introduction of laws that restrict general access to firearms has been successful in reducing violent crime, homicide or suicide. Our conclusion from the available data is that suicide, murder and violent crime rates are determined by basic social, economic and/or cultural factors with the availability of any particular one of the world's myriad deadly instrument being irrelevant.
