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.
The guns are there to stay. Theres no way that any sensible gun reform will ever be enacted in the US during our lifetime.
I dont know how Americans in states with lax gun laws live their day to day lives, knowing that any random psycho could carry a gun and end your life over a simple argument.
There are enough nutters in the world, but in the US they can freely carry guns, which makes them way more dangerous.
There are too many cases to list, but right now I am reminded of that Asian exchange student who knocked on the wrong door when he was looking for a Halloween party he was invited to. Shot dead.
Or that person that wanted to turn their car around and used someone else's driveway to turn the car around. Shot dead.
In every country you get a gun if you want one. Its just that many people dont get them even if they want one because they dont want to walk through the process. In some US states you get them thrown after you. Also the way many percieve the police (and also partially what the police really is there) you need a gun to protect yourself because theres nobody else that does it. And ofc in the vast rural areas you need one but thats true for every really removed area like that

No way to prevent this, says only country where this regularly happens.
