It's so bizarre that America is the only country in the world that seems to face these kinds of problems.
As a Canadian who grew up in a household with a dozen firearms, I never once touched those firearms, and hardly ever saw them until I was taken to the range by my father and taught how to use them.

- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoI'm very interested in this border between South America and the US. most maps seem to be hiding it. also, fun fact, when your government spends a hundred years assisting coups of democratic or socialist governments, those counties are going to have a lot of political instability.
- jjav 4y ago> America is the only first world country to border South and Central America The United States has one border with a central America country (Mexico). Please show on the map where it has a border with any south American country?
- amrocha 4y agoAre you seriously blaming the US's horrible society on all the latam countries they deliberately destabilized?
- orwin 4y agoFrance have a border with South American countries, and is facing illegal incursion from Brazilian gangs in it's territory (and an army guy died for it last year if I remember correctly), still the gun violence in Guyana is pretty low (lower than Marseille). Not an excuse.
