33 were people killed is the deadliest shooting in our country which is nothing compared to many shootings in the history of other nations around the world. We're still a young country but I don't think we're more violent than the next... we're just allowed express more. At least if this guy didn't die in the VA shootings he could have been tracked because he used a legally purchased gun. "The legal gun owner is not a problem for public safety," said Streitburger. "It's the illegally held gun that is." In Germany, less than 1 percent or gun crimes involve a legally owned gun. Yet Germany has had their share of shootings, look back to 2002 when in Erfurt, Germany 18 people were killed in a high school shooting.
I still think it's the LACK of culture in America that's the issue but this topic is about controlling guns... not people.
