It's almost as though the mass proliferation of firearms into the hands of the public, together with a toxic culture which encourages and enables gun violence and a lack of empathy, coupled with a lack of available heathcare, both mental and physical, creates a self sustaining situation where Americans are inclined to shoot each other. In the words of The Onion (a headline they re-print shockingly often due to the frequency of these incidents): "No way to stop mass shootings, says only nation where this routinely happens". 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
