Response to "America's Killing Contagion"
The fact that America is leading in mass shootings does not surprise me. But the fact that we have 5 times as much as the runner up country (Philippines) is just insane. I know that there isn't much we can do to stop mass shootings besides changing gun laws as a whole, but the fact that the US holds 31% of ALL global deaths due to mass shootings means that something is going to have to change. I personally like guns, as a matter of fact, I shoot for my school's clay target team. However, I do believe that gun laws need to and probably will be changed.
