This is a link to American legislation allowing guns to be carried in educational establishments in the USA, as long as they are concealed - Well, that makes it OK then does it!

I simply don't know where to begin. How can any intelligent, rational, thinking, human being be other than appalled at this madness? Inexperienced children & young adults, with a lot to learn about life, with weapons that can kill & maim. What possible rationale can justify this?
Personally I don't want to travel to a country with a sick society that has such a disfunctional realationship with guns & such a disregard for the sanctity of human life.
The following link gives statistics for mass public shootings.

The trouble is that there are more & more reasons not to travel to so many places in the world now. These are the countries who have had the most "terrorist" attacks.

This link should be the Global peace index. There are only 11 countries in the world not involved in conflict of one sort or another.

We have just celebrated the fact that we haven't had a "World War" since 1945. It seems rather a hollow celebration to me. But then the Malthusian theory of population said that we need to have war, pestilence & famine to keep the exponential growth of population in check. We seem to be doing quite a good job of that!
