Read about senseless killing of Australian boy here on baseball scholarship..

What would be appropriate would be a resolution from the Australian Parliament.. That all Australian Travelers going abroad to the United States should be aware of the dangerous conditions which exist because of the lax laws regulating firearms..

You wanna honor the kid? This is a way to do it..

I wonder how many of the 25,000 residents have multiple guns in their homes.

Because in America, pulling a trigger is badass and cool.

They put their intentions on facebook. Unfuckingbelievable.

The Australian athlete's family is forever devastated. Victims of Americans' gun culture.

while the value of human life continues to plummet.

Take heed, hedge fund managers: senseless gun violence is
in "bull market" territory, while our right to live is approaching
all-time lows and may soon be obsolete.
