      Just sad, isn’t it? Even more sad that we don’t do anything about it.

        Guns are just too ingrained in the core of American culture for this ever to be fixed. It would probably be easier to just abolish the entire school system than it would be to implement any meaningful gun control policy.

        The rest of the Western world doesn’t have the same issue because we view guns totally differently.
