3 Okla. teens charged in death of Australian baseball player, who is mourned on 2 continents
Years before this shocking case, I would have conversations with people outside the US about why they would not visit America. Many of the responses that I got went something like this - "there are too many guns in America and I don't want to get shot by one."
“Tourists thinking of going to the USA should think twice,” Fischer told the Herald Sun. “This is the bitter harvest and legacy of the policies of the NRA that even blocked background checks for people buying guns at gunshows. People should take this into account before going to the United States. I am deeply angry about this because of the callous attitude of the three teenagers (but) it’s a sign of the proliferation of guns on the ground in the USA. There is a gun for almost every American.”
