Saying and Doing are two completely different things.

Compare the population of the US to a lot of other countries and you'll find that because there are so many more people here than other countries, and the country itself is larger, anything that involves people or happens ar a random geographic point is more likelt to happen here than a lot of other countries.

My opinions on gun control and gun ownership are well known, so I will not discuss that aspect of this. No matter how people die, a violent death is a tragedy, and we need to consider the reasons that one one hand, conditions that lead to violent outbursts are so often ignored, and on the other, people are illogically punished for trivial technicalities under zero-tolerance rules and these situations still arise.
