You're jogging along on a beautiful sunny day when bored soulless punks drive by and shoot you in the back. You're an innocent child attending school when a deranged felon with an AK-47 and 500 rounds of ammunition decides to use your school as a place to kill cops.You're a teenager wearing a hoodie and eating Skittles when you are challenged by a self appointed neighborhood guardian and you end up dead. This is America in the year 2013. There cannot be a political solution to this monstrous violence because a huge segment of the American populace has decided the government is evil and they are only safe if they carry a gun. Driven by right wing propaganda almost every state has passed concealed carry laws. Take any family reunion and survey the participants. Ask them if there are any family members who shouldn't be allowed to carry a concealed weapon.More than likely, unless the reunion is held in Texas, most families would consider one or more of their relatives too unstable to carry a loaded weapon. Now consider the fact that the family looney tune is the one most likely to be packing. If you are a foreign tourist or student thinking of attending university here I would really think twice before coming to a country where half the population thinks happiness is a warm gun.
