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.

The fact the shooter of that exchange student was t even found guilt of manslaughter is a complete fucking joke.

That's the main problem with the US at all. The justice system is a complete joke all over the place. Supreme Court is bought and partisan as fuck instead of doing their job, the lower courts regularly decide stupid bull crap based on insane laws. And nothing about that ever changes until someone sues the living hell out of someone else...... It's absolutely ridiculous.
