"Guns are the problem in this here country. The only solution is to ban them from our young 'uns." I stared at the young gentleman sitting accross from me and thought to myself how stupid Americans can be at times.
"Ya heard? The boy was 15! Can you believe..."quipped the lady sitting beside him, continuing the dialogue.

Normally I would shake my head in disgust at american culture,and return to staring out the window at the passing vehicles on the opposite lane. But ever since gun and bomb threats forced a two day closure of the local high school earlier this year-I had a brother and sister attending there-i suppose it got me thinking on the subject. So why was this happening: there is no civil war (none that i can see), the economy is booming, there's peace, americans are the richest among the world...I finally came to the decision of what many muslims living here know-there is a lack of moral structure in this country-plain & simple. People yell for gun control, but from my point of view guns have nothing to do with it. In Switzerland, its people often referred to as the worlds most armed, there has never been a case of school gun shootings-the same goes for many other countries around the world, including Muslim nations. So, what makes american culture so different...

"Ya know, that hoe is gonna get a fist in the eye and then some!"two girls cackle as they jump out the door at their stop.

Nothing good, I'm sure.

Many Americans see it as their right to bear arms as stated in the constitution. Time for modernisation. An outright ban on civilian firearm ownership (with few exceptions) is what is needed.

I am almost certain such a measure would result in far fewer deaths in America.

I'll have to agree with you guys-can you believe that just yesterday my daughter had to go through an emergency just in case a shooter came into the school?! I came here from Somalia for peace and I find this. Plus, I see all these somali parents letting their kids sit in front of the t.v. and let them watch anything. I mean, I went to visit one of my friends the other day and all her children (5 to 13 yr olds) are sitting on the ground watching Basic Instinct!!! I do not want my children growing up and becoming apart of this culture. I don't even let them watch violence or anything with cussing.

Guns don't kill people.
People kill people.

Kids shoot other kids in Somalia. if there were any schools they would do the same.

So Buckle Up, Keep the Safety off and Remember
GUN CONTROL MEANS USING BOTH HANDS
IN MY LAND
