5. If you are an angry kid . .

and have access to a gun, the 'solution' to our anger is quite clear.

Now, you can't stop kids from being angry. Or confused. Or just wanting to lash out. Goes with being a kid.

So it's the 'access to guns' that needs addressing.

Good idea, politicians? Get on it please! Other countries have.

Waiting for a response. I have been waiting now for a long time.

"The United States averaged just over 87 school shootings each year from 2013 to 2021, resulting in an annual average of 28.4 dead and 59.6 wounded."

UK: last school shooting was in 1996. None since hand guns were banned.
Australia: last one in 2012, no deaths.
New Zealand: one in 1923.
