How ironic that less than 24 hours after this thread is started there is a mass shooting in Chicago.
That's the 306th mass shooting this year in the US. So yes, mass shootings are a uniquely American problem

Of course, when the government is waging war on its citizens things like this tend to happen. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

Before Monday, 15 had already died and over 60 people were shot ..... yet not a word about it because it is black on black crime and no one reports on it or does anything to stop it.

We live in a free society with 350 million people, and we also have a mental health problem. It's going to happen. When you account for variables and adjust per capita, we have mass attacks at a rate similar to other countries. There are some European countries that do a better job than us in this area, but they also focus heavily on mental health disorders. We are definitely in a downward spiral, and too many people are starting with the solution.

He's conflating the structure of government with the cultural zeitgeist. I'm sure he'd love to enter into a contact with someone and not have a judge interpret it how it was meant.
