You're truly clueless, Omni. One, he's not a kid, he's a three-time Afghan vet. Two, he isn't dead. Three, it was nine, not 15.
Your continued warping and bending of truth, some of which is directly due to your uncontrollable urge to put down Americans, our lifestyle, and our beliefs, ought to disqualify you from membership here. I'm constantly amazed to sign on here and find you still haven't been banned.
I'll do my best to make sure that is soon accomplished. Just keep doing what you're doing, and it won't be hard.
That I missed the particular facts wasn't deliberate, it was on part of an assumption that I jumped into the argument with. I should have read the particulars, but I was too angry to do so at the time. Regardless, the particular facts do not remove from the sentiment, and the sentiment is this: making a celebration of a tragedy is in my opinion failing to address the core issue.
As for the rest of your post, I do sometimes dislike America and its culture, people and foreign policy, intensely, for a lot of things, but there are also a lot of things I admire about it. Gun crime and the gun laws that allow it to be carried out so freely are one thing I intensely dislike about the US. However, my fierce discontentment regarding the moral implications of laxadazy gun controls is not against forum rules. Yet, for some reason, you, and many other Americans, seem to assert some level of innate affinity between Christianity and America, and try to graft that conflation of religion and culture inextricably onto this site and its philosophy. Last I checked, this site was not a Patriotic American Fan Club, therefore there is room on it not only to vocalize problems with other nations (including my own), but also with America, too.
I see many people presenting issues they find with European cultures, slating European politics, and making arguments of such nature as this against European states when talking about other moral issues. I see no reason why the same opposition can't be brought against the US in this same space.
You should also recognize that it's incorrect to assert or imply that all Americans don't agree with my sentiments on the issue of guns. In fact, many do agree with it, and those many (90% of Americans, last I checked) have been calling for years for much tougher gun controls.
