I found this from 2015 - Canada had 172 gun crimes

I think I mentioned it before, but there was a news piece over here, that the police fired more bullets at a single incident (I think it was the terrorist attack in California) the the entire German police force fire in a whole year (excluding the firing range).

Schoolhouse l school shooting in Florida.

What is really appalling is that it is the 18th school shooting in 2018 in the states!

What the hell is wrong with people?

The suspect was expelled for unspecified disciplinary reasons

Sounds like someone got upset and wanted revenge.

18th school shooting? It hasn't even been 8 weeks of 2018 yet.

That is what shocked me, when it came on the news this morning. How the hell can you have so many shooting incidents in schools?!?!?!

Completely agree it's shocking. The problem is that as more and more shootings happen, people will become blasé about it. No one should be scared of going to school. Gun regulation is important here.

It was 18 gun related incidents with guns not 18 shootings. They are all listed on the link below.

When are they going to wake up about guns over there?

There have already been 18 gun-related incidents at American schools in 2018

Okay, not as shocking as 18 shootings, but still 18 more than there should be in a year, let alone in a couple of weeks.

The whole attitude to guns over there is disgusting. When I used to go there for work all people would talk about was sport and their guns. I heard on the radio they were holding a vigil for the victims. I scoffed and thought they should be changing gun laws! They won't listen though so this will become more and more the norm unfortunately.

Unbelievably but perhaps unsurprisingly, Trump thinks that teachers should have guns to protect schools. That's right - fight guns with guns. How the hell did he become a successful businessman based with that kind of thinking?
