In general is weapon fetishism - not only in the USA - and the money which can be made with weapons a problem all over the world.
For better weapon laws in the USA it needs by the way only a crime which is no crime in the USA. It had happened in the last week. An uncle of a two years old child visited the own brother and had a weapon in his backpack. The child took a look in the backpack, saw the gun and triggered a shot unintentionally. The child got a shot in the head and died a little later in an hospital.
Why are US-Americans able to think they are able to save the world - while it would had been totally easy to save this child by a change in your not existing weapon laws 10 years ago?
That's why I call the NRA a terror organization. They finish every career of all young politicians since decades who like to make better weapon laws. And they brainwash the whole US-American society with the stupid constitution law which was made once for muzzle-loaders - and which had been forgotten since a long time before in the late 1960ies and early 1970ies the weapon industry of the USA saw in this law a chance to make extraordinary high profits.
Yesterday had attacked by the way a crowd of about 100 people in Berlin a German fast-food restaurant (="Imbiß") which were weaponed with knives and pepper spray and other nonsense - but not with guns!!! The background: Two men entered the restaurant without masks. The people there told them they need masks to enter the Imbiß. The men got angry - went away - and came back with this hundred stupid idiots. The people from the Imbiß called the police because of this breach of the peace. The police arrested some of the people and they will get some problems now - also because of a break of the German weapon laws. One of them had by the way 2.6 o/oo blood in the alcohol. Unbelievable idiots. Normally someone is able to die with an alcohol level of 2.6 o/oo.
