Those who aren't from the U.S. -- what are your opinions on these seemingly constant gun massacres in America?
There's gotta be some sort of reform in gun laws. I mean, the fact that you can just walk into a gun store and buy an
assult rifle is absolutely insane, at least to me.
Also, the fact that this is becoming pretty common to the US citizens is kinda sad, makes me wonder if nowadays people are scared to go out to the supermarket or a mall? I'd be pretty terrified, tbh. And what's make everything more messed up is that you just know that that the media and politicians are gonna use this news as the newest source to push their own political agenda rather than trying to tackle the main problem.
What goes through your head every time you see a headline or read a news article like this one? I'm genuinely curious.
First thing that comes to mind is the word "
Again?". You know things are getting bad when more and more people around you tell you that they're hesitant to travel to the US. Some friends of mine, even relatives, are scared that they're gonna get killed at the most random of places by some crazy mofo. I mean, there was a shooting in a garlic festival a few days ago, wasn't it? A garlic festival...wtf?
Btw,
this might be a cliché question so apologies in advance if anyone gets triggered, is USA is the country with the most mass shootings in the world? I'm not asking about rates of murder, I believe 3rd world countries like Venezuela and Honduras are in the lead in that regard.
Legit question because I feel like I read news about a mass shooting in the US way more frequently than I do from any other country in the world, almost feels like this stuff happens on a monthly basis (I could be wrong). Maybe it's because the US is always on the spotlight so the media around the world prefers to pick up the news from this country? I don't know, but 3 mass shootings (California, Ohio, Texas) in a week is...a lot.
