I’m afraid to get shot!

All of these gun shootings and massacres is making me paranoid for a reason.

No where is safe anymore.

People are getting shot and killed in supermarkets in schools on the streets and in houses of worship!

Who is to say I won’t get shot getting the mail or lounging on my yard or going for a walk!

Things are out of control!

What’s wrong with our society.

Yes we do.
It’s mainly an American issue

Here in my city there’s a lot of gang related violence. Not so much random mass shootings though. My heart goes out to my American brothers and sisters.

Me too, Wave.

I kind of refuse to go to any large public events anymore

I can understand. Maybe just avoid the news for a while. I think we’re a lot safer than the media portrays.

There’s always shootings in my city but I don’t pay much attention or keep up with hood politics.

Remember: Only a coward lives in fear. And that’s not a slight against you @Wave , that’s just how I live my life.

Right on man, that’s good.

I won’t deny the fact that we’re living in scary times.

Just the other day at my neighborhood Walmart some dipshit flashed his gun to a woman who had children with her.

I know, right? I think he ended up getting hauled away by the cops. I just hope they threw his ass in jail and not the hospital.

I don’t live in a particularly dangerous area but I think I’ve gone my whole life without ever hearing a real gunshot. I went to school before shootings were a major thing though.

Well to be fair, Virginia Tech happened when I was going to college at NVCC. Definitely wish it would happen less often.

It’s not really all Americans. It’s mostly people like the NRA and various right wing sects that are the gun nuts.

The NRA has a lot of money and political power in America.

Our current president is trying to change that but he faces a lot of opposition in the White House.

I’m British and don’t understand America obsession with guns. I’ve never touched a real gun before. And don’t want too either.
