Columbine 25 years later: US lawmakers struggle to reduce gun violence decades after tragedy

Күн бұрын

It’s been 25 years since two senior students entered Colorado’s Columbine high school and opened fire, killing a teacher and 12 fellow students.
At that time, the kind of violence at a school was unthinkable. But Columbine wasn’t America’s first mass school shooting, nor would it be its last.
Since Columbine in 1999, there have been 400 school shootings across the U.S.
As Caryn Lieberman reports, U.S. lawmakers have struggled in the intervening years to pass stricter firearm laws and reduce gun violence.

In China 🇨🇳, violent crimes are usually committed by the state, not individuals. Victims of violence are by the thousands. - Examples are: Tibetans in Tibet, Uyghurs in Xinjiang, Tiananmen Square, and Falun Gong.

Fun fact: Venezuela has had a complete ban on firearms for civilians since 2012, yet their murder rate is 6 times higher per capita than the gun crazed United States. How is that even possible?

Venezuela is a failed state. Doesn't make any sense to compare it to the US or to any Western country in regards to anything really.

It's very simple , They banned them but they certainly couldn't remove them from circulation...If they prohibited them here too, we would all happily continue to keep the ones we already have.Plenty enough to continue killing ourselves as we do.Instead of comparing ourselves with Venezuela, let's look at civilized Europe!

honestly we have less gun violence in canada. people should not be able to have guns as freely as they do in the USA. legit people will register their guns and use them properly

@Generik97 5 ай бұрын

A population that has the right to keep and bear arms is an excellent deterrent to violent tyrannical rule. The only reason the state wants you to register private property is so that they have the ability to later seize it unjustifiably (like they are trying to do here in Canada)
