“As always, though, there is a simpler and more powerful explanation of why there has been no similar school shooting in Germany since 2009; or in Canada since 2016; none in the United Kingdom since 1996—while conversely, more young Americans have died in school shootings in 2018 than in all the nation’s combat operations all over the world. The answer is almost insultingly simple and has the virtue only of being true: It’s the guns.” – David Frum in It’s the Guns [via theatlantic.com]
