Reply #29: Finland's Last School Shooting Was In 1989

[Paladin]

Here in the U.S., school shootings with multiple victims have been happening on a regular basis for years. And yes, other countries have alienated and psychologically troubled kids, and other nations have stressed-out citizens, and other nations have peeople who are violence-prone and destructive. What these other nations do not have is a huge supply of easily-obtainable firearms, as well as a segment of the population that has elevated guns to the status of religious objects. Try as you might, you cannot separate the school shooting problem in this country from all the guns in the hands of people who shouldn't have them.
