How does the rest of the world view what goes on daily in America? For many of us, its exactly what we would expect because we have the same opinions too.
Why would we shut down one major US city – completely shut it down so its like a ghost town – because of the potential threat from one person, when at the same time we abandon a bill that would strengthen our current background check law and get hundreds, if not thousands of guns out of the hands of people that shouldn’t have access to them, all in the name of second amendment rights?
