I am not American, and I think the rest of world has become somewhat immune to the gun violence in the US. A mass shooting here, a mass shooting there, pretty much every few days. I will even give a thumbs up to the right to bear arms, seems reasonable.

But reading the context of that report is quite shocking, mass shootings (as per the definition of CNN), innocent bystanders, children, children with guns shooting other children, 18 people killed within 6 hours. The right to bear arms to fight an oppressive government, seems to be now the right to go out for a picnic with your kids and get shot. What a horrible cancerous situation.
