I'm not blaming something like these strictly on gun control but this is a talk that we do need to have and more importantly it's an action that we need to take and need to take now.

And on that note, we also need a better healthcare system, especially a much better mental healthcare system. Our priorities are completely f*cked in America.
Gun control is a political issue, how the everloving Hell can you say it isn't?

A man stabbed 22 children outside of an elementary school in China today. Knife control needs to be looked at.


If this were to happen in Africa you would MAYBE read about it on the third page of Yahoo after hearing about the royal family's upcoming addition, Justin Beiber's favorite ice cream, and what some reporter said on ESPN. You would then close the browser, finish your Corn Flakes, and go to work. Shit happens every day and people are assholes.
