The once great USA is slowly, no maybe rapidly descending into a third world carnival. Kind of pathetic.
All great nations/civilizations have and will fail. Have a look at homicide rates per capita. Certainly quality of life and social services are more substantial factors. The USA has some of the most liberal gun laws of any country, it is impossible to relate them to the level of violence. The gun laws written into the constitution of the USA are there to prevent oppression, the same oppression most people escape when immigrating to the USA.
There many who will argue what I have said here, I will not reply, I did not start the thread drift and will not promote it further. Mentally ill person kills someone, it has happened a thousand times globally since the incident we speak of. Not even news worthy. The news in LA should have concentrated on the delay at the airport, would have been more useful.
