Apparently not

A teenage student armed with two handguns and a knife opened fire in a vocational training college in Athens Friday, wounding three people before shooting himself in the head, Greek authorities said.

I'm from Eastern Canada and under 30, eh?

So I'm going to take this Greek national tragedy and use it to comment what's wrong with Greek society.

Who ever said that this only happens in the U.S?

It happens all over the world, and maybe happens with a little more frequency in the U.S. Maybe the U.S. gets a little more attention because if its gun laws.

I love guns and I like shooting them but never at people. I'm not to sure if I would say that it should be a "right" to own a gun, but some do, and that is why the U.S. gets the attention.

Apparently talking about it only encourages it, so please stop!
