USA - you disgust me! Another home-grown terrorist shooting kills 19 kids and 2 teachers

History of gun culture in America:
"America's gun culture is an invented tradition. It was not present at the nation's creation, whenever we fix that point. Rather, it developed in a single generation, among those who experienced the onset of the Civil War and that disaster itself. All cultural attributes have a starting point, and a path of development. America's gun culture is unusual only in that one can determine the precise period in which a specific artifact became central to a nation's identity and self-conception. Prior to the 1860s, guns were not perceived as a significant component of America's national identity, essential to its survival. The literature on early American culture repeatedly locates the core values of most Americans in either religious or liberal sensibilities, though this is obviously a sweeping generalization. The prosperity and survival of the United States depended on the grace of God, or civic virtue, or the individual's pursuit of self-interest. The notion that a well-armed public buttressed the American dream would have appeared harebrained to most Americans before the Civil War. But starting in the 1850s, cultural and social standards began a fairly rapid shift that soon placed guns in ever more American hands and at the core of essential cultural values. By the mid-1870s, males in the United States had a fixation with firearms that any modern enthusiast would recognize and salute."

They always treat crimes like killing someone with a smack on the hand so someone that would kill have no incentive to not kill ...hang um high even if they commit suicide after... For the whole world to see.stop blaming the system and the guns that never kill by themselves!

If everybody wants a gun give them a a muskit one round 30s to reload who is going to fire the first shot !

Totally agree
