U.S........Wild-West Mindset

When you consider the recent movie theatre killings in Colorado, most rational people would think that it may be time to reduce people’s access to guns, particularly those categorized as assault weapons. The following clip from the National Post says it all: 

“In Colorado, where Friday’s shooting killed 12 and injured dozens, gun sales jumped in the three days that followed. The state approved background checks for 2,887 people who wanted to purchase a firearm — 25 per cent more than the average Friday to Sunday period in 2012 and 43 per cent more than the same interval the week prior.” 

The wild-west gun-toting mentality that permeates some parts of the United States is truly America’s shame. db
