Hareem. This murder has nothing to do with gun culture in the US. The culprit most likely was carrying an illegal weapon.

He was a robber, probably a gang member as well. I am pretty sure if a criminal wanted to obtain guns anywhere in the world, all they need to have are the right “connections”. Please don’t blame it on the whole country. In USA you cannot just go & buy a gun as you wish. You have to go through a criminal background check & only then you get to have a permit to “own” a gun. Even when you become a gun owner you can’t just carry the firearm openly in public places. You have to obtain a “conceal & carry” license which is still not available in all 50 states.

Conceal & carry only allows you to carry a weapon as long as it’s not in plain sight. Regardless of what your state law is most public places like schools, libraries, airports & hospitals do not do not allow you to carry a weapon even if you have a license.

When someone wants to commit a crime they will find a way to do it. It is very naive to think that somehow “gun culture” is responsible for majority of the deaths involving firearms in the US.

Also let’s not disrespect the severity of this incident by turning this thread into a gun debate or if USA is a dangerous country or not. Perhaps opening another thread to discuss “gun culture & its dangers in the US” will be a better idea.

yeah it’s not allowed in schools etc etc then why US is on top when it comes to school shootings?
