This weekend's mass shootings come as the country mourns the victims of its deadliest mass shooting this year. Days earlier, 18 people were killed in a shooting in Lewiston, Maine.

Guns, of course. But let's don't say to make them illegal or americans get mads telling you isn't about weapons and everything can be a weapon. Well then try do a mass shootings with an hammer, a knife or a rock.

Yep, guns are a scary jump in easy ways to kill people.

I hardly believe in usa sometimes, thinking about common people who goes around with guns. Why? Why any should have an easy way to kill someone else? It does not make any sense.

Because when guns were a little harder to come by, and to kill people with, a bunch of rich white guys managed to start a new country. Quickly, they added the Bill of Rights to our constitution with the 2nd amendment that says i have the basic right to own a gun.

But its actual meaning has been debated ever for decades.
