This is America y'all. The only (developed) country where you're free to get shot at the bowling alley, distribution center, bank, MLK Jr. celebration, July 4th parade, gas station, flea market, grocery store, elementary school, high school, concert venue, sports stadium, department store, movie theater, church, garlic festival, Juneteenth celebration, on the street, at a bar, in the nightclub, inside a restaurant, on the baseball field, at a park, in the playground, even your own home . . . Pretty much anywhere.
The U.S. has the most firearms per capita of any country in the world (Yemen is a distant second), being the only nation on EARTH with more guns than people. Not surprisingly, we also have the highest rates of gun violence of any country in the developed world by far. Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and almost all other developed countries have some of the strictest gun laws, and also have the lowest rates of gun violence. Coincidence? I think not. This is the price you pay for "freedom." I hope it's worth it.
Fun fact: 9 out of the top 10 states with the highest rates of gun violence per capita are the Republican-led states of Alaska, Mississippi, Wyoming, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Montana. (Source: World Population Review)
When 22 are shot dead in Maine,
we know nothing will get done.
Their lives will have been taken in vain,
because in America we worship the almighty gun.
