Re: Police find no motive for Illinois campus shooting
Yeah, growing up in a country where guns were outlawed and only accessible by law enforcement (even the police don't carry guns on a daily basis), I always saw it as a major flaw for a country to allow arms to be purchased in shops. Indeed, I stared in disbelief the first time I saw a gunshop in the USA. The cops never had a problem with their lack of firearms because most criminals they come across don't have them either. There are exceptions where someone will get an imported weapon, but the law have access to them if need be. Since I amn't used to it, even seeing an american cop walk by me unnerved me because he had a gun on his belt and walked around like it was nothing.
