It blows my mind as a non-Amerian that their politicians are saying that the right to own a gun and carry it around is more important than children being able to go-to school without the fear of being killed. That's just the cost of 'freedum'.
Their freedom to make the rest of society pay for their hobby.
Here’s an article about a massacre of children that happened in Myanmar in 2022.
For those who are unaware, the government of Myanmar has been killing the unarmed civilians, largely because they face very little retaliation, because guns are illegal to possess without a license there. The licenses are never given out.
Fortunately for the would-be victims, there is a growing trade in black market, homemade guns there.

do you seriously think the safety of the few outweighs the rights of the many? (we need more people with good aim to practice on political figureheads)
