    Every country has its own problems, just that US ones appear to mostly derive from police misconduct and ridiculous offences. If any, police sometimes do not really have the clearest information on a potential crime, so they just bull charge into a china shop and take things into their own hands (really though, it looks like they just arrest people from almost anything). Just the recent Maryland school shooting alone speaks something about the local firearm corporations and their suppliers-why aren't they doing anything to prevent bloody children from getting their hands on weapons? After all the gun-related incidents, it appears that they are just too autistic to learn any lessons from said incidents.
    But to be fair, almost all problems in the US stem from a lack of education itself. Instead of having an educational disgrace as its Secretary, the Trump Administration could actually do something about it and attempt to improve the country's literacy rate instead of expanding its already huge military and provoking the Korean commies.

    It's not as easy as you belive it is to get a gun. Plus there are laws set in place to stop people who shouldn't own guns, from owning said guns.

    At least our police misconduct isn’t as bad as the UK where police swept a gang of pedophile migrants under the rug for years and years, long enough for them to claim over 1000 victims and kill 2 of them. Or in Scotland where a man is awaiting his sentence over a fucking joke.

    Oh yeah the kinder egg thing XD
    I was so sad as a child when they banned them
    Kinder eggs are banned because “choking hazard”, yet cigarettes are legal?
    This is US not west
    And while it does kind of suck here, you’re cherry picking events, the vast majority of events don’t happen like that

    Wait, collecting rainwater is illegal?
    What next, typing ”lol” in video games is illegal because the ”o” in the middle is shorter than the ”l”s, and that’s somehow a racist sexist thing?

    Not really. The educational system in the US is way different than the U.S. law system and police in general. Although you could argue that education influences a person’s income which in turn influences crime rates (like the Prison-Pipeline), it’s not anywhere near the full story. Not to mention the fact that teacher’s unions contribute to the problem by protecting bad teachers.

    I mean, if many people not totally healthy in their minds manage to get guns and do mass shooting...
    There may be laws, but apparently some manage to bypass them

    Aaaaaaand there still would be outnumbered by citizens who CAN own guns. What do you think people have a right to own guns in the first place? To commit mass shooting? To go hunting? No. They have a right to bare arms so they can PROTECT THEMSELVES, be it from the government or other people.

    And let the minority dictate what happens to the majority? You realize even if we did take away guns you could just as easily make a chlorine gas bomb with a simple visit to a pool and gardening store...

    Ehhh the thing is if you look at countries where people do not have the right to own a gun for no reason, there's way less death from guns, so imo that doesn't work :/

    If you ask me this is exactly what got him elected in the first place, although he has yet to act on a lot of his promises. Also notice how most of the dates are from 2015-2016.
