it's indigenous people(nations) subdued by EXTREME gun violence. It was built into the society we inhabit by enslaved people subdued by EXTREME gun violence. The violence in our current society is an extension of that history and the 'wild west' mentality revered by a lot of americans of all racial, ethnic and political persuasions. Change the macho mindset, economic conditions that breed inequality and hopelessness, which will take generations now, and the society ill of EXTREME violence by guns can change. Period. Just my take on this problem.
