Default USA is a travel risk

Once again a dozen people shot to death in the USA by a madman. This time in
Alabama. Foreigners should avoid leisure travelling to the country due to
very poor security. Time to collect civilian hand guns away.

May I be the first to add the German incident. Or is killing German
children in a school not the act of a European "madman"?

grow the **** up. Your chances of getting killed on the freeways is
a hundred thousand times higher than getting killed by a madman.

Excellent point! Most timely!

Do visit instead places like North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, et al.
One seldom, if ever, hears about such incidents in those countries.
Security is hands down, no doubt whatsoever tighter in such places.

Where there are the fewest civilian guns is where the crime is the
highest. We have almost no murders here, and we run around w/ rifles in
the back windows of our vehicles. It isn't like it never happens in gun
tight countries anyways. They just don't like to report it, because it
goes against the liberal agenda.

Seems as if most of those killed were relatives.
