Nikolas Cruz was never on the war front before last Wednesday before he decided to terminate 17 lives including Adults and students. Pupils as young as 14 years old were among the victims of another Gun chaos that had been ravaging the World and not just the United State of America. How could a parent handle such news that his/her/their kids, children had been shot dead on their school premises?

It is every parent responsibilities to keep their children safe while providing for their needs till they become an Adult, but a child killed while at school when the parent should be rest assured that a school is a safe place is a typical example of a failed state and a collapsing Government who valued Weapons and Guns more than precious lives. At Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school in Parkland, where the US lawmakers had refused to address the issue of Gun Control and the rights to keep arms had cost 17 innocent lives just like it had happened before in history. see chart below:

This is considered as one of the worst mass shootings at schools in the US. 2007 Virginia Tech, Virginia had been the bloodiest one with over 30 killed.That came after the 1999 shooting Columbine, Colorado which brings the total tally of six shootings at schools and had claimed several lives like it had on Wednesday 14 of February 2018 Valentine's Day!

The President of the United State, Donald Trump in his defense accused the Democrats party who he had taken over from for not taking proper act1ons on the menace of Guns/Arms. Gun legislation had been a fierce topic of debate during and post-Obama Administration. The Democrats blamed Republicans for the fatal shooting while President Trump blamed it on the Mental state of Nikolas Cruz the alleged shooter, during his meeting with some of the shooting survivors. The Presiden further criticized security agencies for not actively doing their duties as the Federal Bureau of Investigation admitted not properly executing actions based on the "Intel" they had gathered on Cruz earlier this year.

The Shooter had been examined to be depressed as a kid who had a troubled childhood and grew up into a dangerous lonely man who is obsessed with Guns. Child Protective Service revealed that Cruz had plans to purchase Gun but necessary steps were not taking to prevent the untimely demise of the 17 victims.

In the crazy World we all live in, where corruption Rules supreme; the NRA- National Rifle Association gets immunity not to get infringement on their weapon production and distribution rights because they had sponsored the Now president Donald Trump back in 2016 US Election Campaign.
