The student from Sante Fe High School said “I was scared not shocked.

The United States of America is the only nation in the world with more guns than people.

It's not even close.

We have 103 guns for every 100 people.

Most nations have 5 or fewer guns per 100 people.

It's a predictable recipe for disaster and disaster strikes over & over.
