There are reasons to believe that, the USA has been leading the western world for a long time, and it can still be the best nation to copy, if they find a way how to stop this mass shooting problem. perhaps by changing their gun laws. You see, the world does not like America, when the Americans keep shooting at each other. 

World News and My Views, May 2022 Diary.

Welcome to our blog, World News and My Views, May 2022 Diary.  

Dear readers, this month of May 2022 have happened many things, so, it is hard to choose what to report first in my diary. Anyhow, let us start with this school mass shooting in USA Texas, because what I do not understand is why in the USA there seems to be more mass shooting than anywhere else in the world, and the victims are usually innocent young children that have not done anything to upset the killer/s. But some deranged people just go out and shoots innocent young children, it is almost like some wild west movie, where people shoot each other, but even there is a reason for killing, and the other party is armed as well. Most people believe that there are too many firearms around, so, just about anyone can grab a gun and start shooting.  

Anyhow, I do not know why the Americans cannot change the gun laws, and even the constitution could and perhaps needs to be changed. You see the American constitution was written in 1787, when there where mostly single shot guns and no automatic and semiautomatic firearms, so, we must wonder, if the constitution was to be written with what we have now, perhaps they would have written a limitation clause, that would exclude automatic firearms.  

I believe that some Americans start to realize that today needs are different from when the constitution was written. In those times people were living more like the wild west, so, there was a need to defend oneself. But today almost everything can be controlled by the police and other government authorities. So, in most cases there is no need to have any firearms. These mass shooting should not happen anymore; it also looks bad for America a leading nation. Anyhow, I have heard that some Americans accept that there should be less firearms around, that is what they are saying, but will this change take place, we do not know. Because, some people believe in the constitution second amendment, some of it is written hereunder.

The second amendment

The right to keep and bear arms in the United States is protected by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.^[11] While there have been contentious debates on the nature of this right, there was a lack of clear federal court rulings defining the right until the two U.S. Supreme Court cases of District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010).

Anyhow it is a lot longer than what is written above, but it gives you a general idea. But let us see, what the rest of the world thinks about this.

---------------------------------- 

                        IS THIS REALLY THE AMERICAN DREAM?

What we see here is ridiculous, you see, this photo is telling us that what is happening in America is ridiculous, I have copied this photo from Face Book, it is called the American dream. But really it cannot be true, because babies only dream about their mothers' cuddles and yummy food. 

---------------------- 

So, let us imagine what the world thinks.

Now, let us see how these mass shootings is affecting America in the eyes of the world. You see, most of the western world would like to see America like a leading nation, but these mass murder shootings are changing everything, so, today nobody is looking at America as a model nation to copy their ways of life, as we did after the second world war. In fact, if we think about it, nobody would like to be in their position. So, it would be good if they start thinking how to avoid these mass murders. Anyhow, now let us describe what has happened, and the best way to do it, is to paste what has happened the way it has been reported.

So, I quote from what I have seen.  

Gunman kills 19 children, 2 teachers at Texas elementary school

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/two-dead-14-injured-elementary-school...

1 day ago · Tuesday's shooting was the deadliest at a U.S. school since a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December 2012.

---------------------------

Anyhow, this is what has happened now.

Investigators in Texas are seeking to determine how critical mistakes were made in the response to the deadly Uvalde shooting, including why nearly 20 police officers remained outside a grade school classroom as children placed panicked emergency calls for help.

Why the officers waited in the hallway nearly an hour before entering and fatally shooting the gunman is at the heart of an ongoing probe by the Texas Department of Public Safety into the massacre of 19 children and two teachers in the deadliest US school shooting in nearly a decade.

--------------------------------

Here let us talk about other mass shootings

This is a list of the most notable mass shootings in the United States that have occurred since 1920. Mass shootings are incidents involving several victims of firearm-related violence. The precise inclusion criteria are disputed, and there is no broadly accepted definition.^[1][2]

The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group that tracks shootings and their characteristics in the United States, defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people, excluding the perpetrator(s), are shot in one location at roughly the same time.^[3] The Congressional Research Service narrows that definition further, only considering what it defines as "public mass shootings", and only considering victims as those who are killed, excluding any victims who survive.^[2] The Washington Post and Mother Jones use similar definitions, with the latter acknowledging that their definition "is a conservative measure of the problem", as many rampages with fewer fatalities occur.^[4][5] The crowdsourced Mass Shooting Tracker project uses a definition even looser than the Gun Violence Archive's definition: four people shot in one incident regardless of the circumstances.^[6]

Larger documentation of mass shootings in the United States has occurred through independent and scholarly studies such as the Stanford University Mass Shootings in America Data Project.^[4][7]

(Anyhow, we hope that the American people see the need to change their firearms laws, in a way that these mass shooting do not happen anymore, at least some of them believe that it needs to be changed.)  

DEMS RAIL AGAINST NRA, SENATE, ASSAULT WEAPONS AS HOUSE PREPS GUN CONTROL PACKAGE: 'CRISIS OF DEATH'

"You will not stop us from advancing the Protecting Our Kids Act today," he added. "If the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. If the Supreme Court objects, we will expand it. And we will not rest until we have taken weapons of war out of circulation and our communities each and every day."

End of quotes. 

------------------------- 

From what has been said, I believe that the entire world wants to see America a peaceful country. So, it is up to the American people to see the reasons why they need to change their gun laws.
