I’ve always thought the concept of mass shootings, such as those in schools, were “uniquely American” was a rather American-centric form of ignorance. These things happen all over the world, after all, and have for ages. Most Americans who like to think of themselves as worldly, though, tend not to be as well-versed on what happens elsewhere as they like to believe.
But I had to acknowledge that it looked like we had a much bigger issue than most places.
