Innocent people are being massacred across the US because an ambiguous outdated constitutional law empowers citizens to own guns.
The latest massacre in Texas where 19 young children and others were brutally gunned down in an orgy of relentless firepower is a graphic display of American culture, which is based on mindless violence.
Violence is now part of the American way of life, from womb to tomb. It has been pervasive from that country’s earliest days, almost 400 years ago.
The USA was conceived and nurtured by violence. They are entertained by it with 200 million guns at their disposal.
The National Rifle Association and its horde of gun nuts continually crow that its not guns that kill people but people who kill people.
During the 20th century alone, 10 million Americans were victims of violent crimes. More Americans were killed by other Americans during the 20th century, exceeding American deaths in the past six wars.
