I just want to say as an American, I am so fed up with all these gun stories. I understand there is debate about gun control and this and that, but we are having a much larger cultural problem here. The attitude of helping your neighbor or even someone less fortunate is slowly disappearing and being replaced by a fear for protecting what we have, as if someone else is after it. In my mind it's cyclical, if we help those in need, they really won't be after what we are trying to protect. As for the random gun violence, its enough already.

Being born and raised in Flint, and the victim of gun violence (father was murdered outside his work for 20+years over <$600) I always tell people Flint might be the murder capital of the world, but we aren't the random murder capitol of the world. For whatever its worth, its true.
