      I don’t think it’s just the guns. It’s the combination of guns with a society that produces a lot of sad people.

        Exactly. Guns are everywhere in most of the world (especially countries with dysfunctional governments and economies, like USA). The USA media would like you to believe the guns are the problem so you don’t focus on the dysfunctional government and economy.

          Everywhere in the world people can buy guns, even in the EU, but the difference is, in the EU to buy a weapon, you must acquire a license and you only get this with a prior psychological examination, background check, proof of the need to carry a weapon (hunters, security personnel, etc.) In the US any subnormal can get a gun by presenting their ID at the store, or buy it somewhere on the street without any control.
