The one that sticks in my mind was the another six year old being shot.

Mom was driving him to school, road rage happened, and a stray bullet entered the car, killing the little one.

This is getting out of hand, and I'd love to say that this is why I don't go to the States.
Bit of a lie, I've been boycotting them for a while.
I don't buy anything from the States.

“...Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department’s executive assistant police chief [said] “This was not an active shooter incident.”

I suspect the bystander who got drilled may have a different perspective.

Sounds like it wasn’t concealed. Maybe place a pile of bricks on every other street corner in case of such eventualities.

That would make it a riot and the police could come in shooting though

Mexico sues US gun manufacturers over arms trafficking toll

The Mexican government sued United States gun manufacturers and distributors Wednesday in U.S. federal court, arguing that their negligent and illegal commercial practices have unleashed tremendous bloodshed in Mexico. The unusual lawsuit was filed in U.S. federal court in Boston. Among those...

The Mexican government “brings this action to put an end to the massive damage that the Defendants cause by actively facilitating the unlawful trafficking of their guns to drug cartels and other criminals in Mexico,” the lawsuit said.

The government estimates that 70% of the weapons trafficked to Mexico come from the U.S., according to the Foreign Affairs Ministry. And that in 2019 alone, at least 17,000 homicides were linked to trafficked weapons.

Alejandro Celorio, legal advisor for the ministry, told reporters Wednesday that the damage caused by the trafficked guns would be equal to 1.7% to 2% of Mexico’s gross domestic product. The government will seek at least $10 billion in compensation, he said. Mexico's GDP last year was more than $1.2 trillion.
