Take a guess how many school-shootings the US and Europe get in comparison.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States

Going back one year from today, there have been 23 school-shootings in the US.

In order to get to 23 school-shootings in all of Europe, you have to count every school-shooting since 1989.

The US gets as many school-shootings in one year as Europe gets in 30 years.

But don't worry: The NRA knows how to solve that problem. We must do something about drugs!
