Gun culture

So some guy took a gun and shot thirty odd people dead. Why does America feign disbelief about this? It is the original gun-totting, war mongering, shoot 'em dead Texan Ranger country.

Your president sanctions killing, advocates war and, as the Governor of Texas, he put more people to death than any other governor in the history of your country.

On an individual basis, it is tragically sad. I can't imagine anything more terrifying than being hunted down by a mad man, in a place where you are supposed to be safe, where you are supposed to be growing, where you are supposed to be free to steer your young life in the most positive of directions. It is the stuff nightmares are made of.

But with the crazy gun culture in America... if you guys want guns, the right to bear arms, you've got to live with it. I can't imagine, as a nation, why you would want that.

The ironic and sad thing is that now Americans will be even more scared and fearful of each other, and will buy even more guns.
It's a downwards spiral.
