‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens , Pt. ∞

Just….numb. Holy shit.

And I’ll chime in with Czech firearms laws. You can own a firearm here…..it’s not so free and easy as in the USA, but these kind of atrocities are exceedingly rare here.

A gun in the Czech Republic is available to anybody subject to acquiring a shall issue firearms license first. Gun licenses may be obtained in a way very similar to a driving license - by passing a gun proficiency exam, medical examination and having a clean criminal record. Unlike in most other European countries, the Czech gun legislation also permits a citizen to carry a concealed weapon for self-defense - 240,000 out of some 300,000 legal gun owners have concealed carry permit. Vast majority of Czech gun owners possess their firearms for protection, with hunting and sport shooting being less common.

I have a few students who have a concealed carry permit - and there isn’t one of them I wouldn’t trust with a firearm.

Just sayin’.
