Stand-up comic on what U.S. gun laws look like to an Australian
A comedy routine explains America’s contradictory attitudes toward guns in the eyes of the world
Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.washingtonpost.com
12-22-2014 Car full of teens shot up. One girl dead, three injured.
“This is a human issue,” Shabazz said. “It’s not a Detroit issue. It’s not a Grosse Pointe issue. It’s not a black or white issue. It’s a human being issue. We cannot allow anyone to walk up to a car full of young people and indiscriminately start firing.
