      I agree. That is true. It's interesting that many people think traumatic experiences make people cry frantically or scream loudly. That can't be furthest from the truth. This kid shows you what a real trauma does to a human being - it makes you extremely calm and even smiling because all your senses are heightened in order to survive. Too much crying and emotion would lower your chances of survival. This boy's emotion is shut down. He can't feel it because it is too overwhelming and painful. Human body protects itself by shutting feelings down. My two cents of interpretations. trauma survivors are welcome to comments

    Why do these things only happen so often in the US? As a German, I’ve never had to do a gun drill at school and yet we still have guns and gun ranges in Germany. It’s just not as unregulated as in the US. I am a member of a gun club myself. There are certain requirements to own a gun:
    1. Be a member of a local gun club for at least a year and show up for training either once a month or 18 times per year. Take a weekend class on firearms and pass a test. There is much more training if you want to become a hunter (takes about four weeks of full time training or a year till half a year of part time classes)
    2. Magazine size is limited to 10(+1) no matter what type of gun you use
    3. Open carry doesn’t exist and licenses for concealed carry are rarely given out
    4. You have to fulfill certain requirements when storing your firearms such as having a safe etc.

    I'm sorry kid, but there are some people out there that want guns as easy to buy as alcohol out there and want the least inconvenience possible. They want you to think about their plight over yours.

      You have to be 21 to buy alcohol. Getting a gun is way easier.
