From the New York Times:
"On Sunday night in Las Vegas, 58 people were killed in a single mass shooting, one of the deadliest in American history. How does that compare with the daily gun deaths in cities across the United States?"
"In Chicago, 58 people were killed by guns in a span of 28 days, counting back from Sept. 29, two days before the Las Vegas attack. Many shootings were of one person, not mass attacks. In Baltimore, there were 58 gun deaths in 68 days. In Houston, it was 118 days."
What's the problem? Where people are getting killed every day is in the lower class part of the city where there is a lot of unemployed young people who went to schools and learned nothing because the teachers are incompetent.
Fix education in America then maybe the violence problem might get fixed or at least it would not be as bad as it is now.
Why are inner city teachers so fucking stupid? Their jobs are safe thanks to teacher unions. A possible solution is create other schools that are not infested with teacher unions. That way the moron teachers can be fired.
The Democrats get tons and tons of cash from the teacher unions so they are not interested in fixing the problem. The Republicans (who seem to never get anything done) want to have new schools without unions.
Since the Republicans can't get anything done and since the Democrats don't care because they want their free cash, most likely the out of control violence in this country will never end.
Of course it would be so nice if there weren't more weapons than people in this country. Perhaps there is some way to better control who is not allowed to own weapons. The Democrats want to make it more difficult to get these weapons. The Republicans get lots and lots of cash from the National Rifle Association which is against more gun control, so they are not interested in fixing the problem.
We have something called the 2nd Amendment of our Bill of Rights which makes it possible for Americans to own all the weapons they want. We are stuck with that 2nd Amendment. There is no hope.
The hunters in America, I will give them credit for protecting our environment. They want the creatures they like to kill to have a nice place to live.
I loved the M16 rifle when I was in the United States Army at basic training so I understand why so many people love these things.
I used to live in Chicago but it was very safe where I lived. It's just the south side of Chicago that has most of the murders. However one place I lived I could hear gun fire at night. It was no problem, I just stayed away from the windows.
This is a very strange country but I like it here.
