@matbaker totally agree with you.Being from the UK we do have instances with gun crime but not like the extreme in America.It is more to do with culture attitudes and values. If your raised with gun culture it will be apart of you.The gun culture will never change in America as the higher power just cant stop it. I hope for the future as alot of innocent people are killed but how many lives have to be taken when someone takes a stand and listens.They talk about protection but the fact is no one is ever really protected.You cannot cater for every eventuality.Like you said bad people everywhere it just depends how you deal with it and the equipment used.It is just awful when you hear about another high school shooting.Just really infuriating.Attitudes need to change for the better.We can only just hope.🤞
Hey Pam. There have been eighteen school shootings in America this year.
How messed up is that? I was watching the news yesterday, seeing the faces of the seventeen dead, and it all feels so hopeless. 30000 gun deaths every year in America. A million people every three decades. And nothing ever changes.
I am not sure hope is going to do it.
I know mat.I seen the mother of one of the victims.She was distraught.She will never get her daughter back all because of the easy accesibility of firearms.Its like a right of passage in America.Here you turn 17 you can learn how to drive, Turn 18 can buy your first alcoholic drink.But in America coming of age here kid have your first gun! I really do get people feel like they need protection but to what cost.Just glad it isnt as bad in UK.Maybe this is why we have diff views and take upon it.
