That said, America is super-duper dumb when it comes to guns, and, because of the American domination of English-language news world-wide, these entirely predictable violent events get so much airplay it gets old.
Either repeal the 2nd Amendment and actually start doing something about gun violence, or stop splashing gun-deaths on the front page of newspapers and websites, because it isn't news anymore.

I can't speak for all Canadians but I can honestly say I never felt the urge to treat an American like my older brother, other than a big bad military and the NFL they have nothing on us...at all!
