This weekend's mass shootings come as the country mourns the victims of its deadliest mass shooting this year. Days earlier, 18 people were killed in a shooting in Lewiston, Maine.

Guns, of course. But let's don't say to make them illegal or americans get mads telling you isn't about weapons and everything can be a weapon. Well then try do a mass shootings with an hammer, a knife or a rock.

They've been publishing almost the same article for something like a decade.

Those people are so annoying.

I usually ask them why we don't replace the military and police's guns with spoons. Save a lot of money. You can also kill people with a spoon.

I think there is a kind of obsession with violence and needs to feeling powerful. Really weapons should not exist at all, even the nuclears one. Wars make no sense as killing or wishing the dead of someone. In Europe even police don't go around easly with guns, it is common sense.

Yep, guns are a scary jump in easy ways to kill people.

I hardly believe in usa sometimes, thinking about common people who goes around with guns. Why? Why any should have an easy way to kill someone else? It does not make any sense.

Because when guns were a little harder to come by, and to kill people with, a bunch of rich white guys managed to start a new country. Quickly, they added the Bill of Rights to our constitution with the 2nd amendment that says i have the basic right to own a gun.

But its actual meaning has been debated ever for decades.
