This is such an American phenomenon.

Even without the school shootings, this would be reason enough for me to say that the second amendment needs further amending.

I hear the natives of Australia are still treated pretty badly. Racism is a universal human cancer. No one culture has a monopoly.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. The problem is that a random loser had a gun and pointed at another human being in a situation so far removed from a "life or death situation" that it's almost impossible to fathom.

That guy should never be allowed within 10 feet of a gun, but I'd be surprised if that's part of his punishment.
