And still the pro-gun people celebrate the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms.

Like the wild west days, yes it's tragic for any child born in the USA! Children are all precious, every one of them... "red and yellow black and white, they are precious in his sight." 🙂

@Carazaa I think it's worse than the Wild West. I am no expert in US history, but I can't think of a case when anybody murdered kids at school, or shot up people shopping, or rode past a wedding or party and fired at them. Maybe guns were harder to buy then, or relatively more expensive.

[b]I think you're right. It is worse. The weapons are now war guns, No one needs to have a war gun in my opinion.

It is also has to do with many kids in US are unhappy and angry.
Most people are on vacation now in Scandinavia during summers and kids spend time outdoors with family and friends there for a month or two, but in the US many people are working all summer. Sick days are combined with vacation days and they have no vacation days left to spend with kids in the summer.

Many kids are home watching TV by themselves and playing violent video games alone. Many parents are frustrated because they work until late every day. American businesses put a lot on each worker compared to European employers. And their nutrition is often bad too with fast food and no fresh vegetebles , fruit, or fish. some feed kids chicken nuggets many days a week.

The Government need to educate parents how to raise healthy, and happy kids. Marihuana is legalized too, and many kids smoke marihuana which destroys their brains for life. [/b]

@Carazaa I am in the UK and our lifestyle is not dissimilar to that of the USA - and we are getting more violent as well. I think your points are very valid.

@HarrietteSpeedy I had no idea about English life, at least you have the queen, it unifies the country. 🙂

@Carazaa I think you are better off where you are. Keep your traditions and culture. We tend to work long, long hours and spend too much time in the pubs.

@HarrietteSpeedy One day at a time, and avoiding the news I think is a good idea 😂
Well YEAH @HarrietteSpeedy
