I think that Piers Morgan has a point, but I'd change that to:
just-admit-you-dont-care-ENOUGH-about-mass-shootings.

(Opinions)

You've been on alt.home.repair long enough to know that the prevailing
American attitude is, "If it didn't happen to me, it doesn't matter."

Look at all the COVID fools. "I had a mild case, so it's a big
nothingburger."
"I've been going to the big square dance every weekend for a year and
didn't catch nothin'."

Indeed.


Of course, there's something that Morgan (and other foreigners) tend to
forget.

There's no "The" United States.Ā* There's 50 of them or 331 million of
them
(depending on how you look at it).Ā* Even after almost 100 years of
expansion, the federal government still doesn't have the power to control
everything in the way that other governments do.

Cindy Hamilton

That's very true. Separate states having different laws seems counter
productive to me in many cases. Covid and gun laws areĀ* classic examples
where working as one using universal laws would make action so much
simpler and more efficient, IMO.


In some cases a universal law makes sense but the states stretch out
thousands of miles, vary in population density, climate,topography,
industry.

Are your laws the same as Yugoslavia? Germany? Why not?
