I can't settle with the notion that these things just happen. But it somehow really is a question of human nature, not of rights, and in that sense we just have to live with it.
But then again. We do have these insane numbers of gun incidents! Every industrialised country has killings and mass shootings but the murder by gun rate in the US is just so insanely high.
What other uniquely american aspect besides the pro-gun interpretation of the const. could be used to explain american vs. european/canadian/asian numbers??
