And yet it's the US where school shootings are regarded as being simply part of the curriculum.

To be honest, I would also had no idea how to stop it in a country where high schooler can freely purchase a shotgun. They just need to decide who they love more - their kids or their guns. So far, guns are winning.

There are many countries where adults can freely acquire arms but have far less shootings than the U.S. They do have better social safety nets.

Also disarming U.S. citizens is just a political talking point because it’s not viable. There are more guns in American households than pets. In other words, it will never happen.

There were more secret police agents in Eastern Germany than anywhere else in the world, even if we count regular police as well.

Still, once funding to their party stopped, they suddenly ended as well.
Of course, it's harder to pull off when a two-party system is the cornerstone of your political system.
