:51:03
Yet in spite of all this,
:51:05
how many people are killed
by guns each year?

:51:09
In Germany:
:51:12
In France:
:51:17
In Canada:
:51:22
In the United Kingdom:
:51:27
In Australia:
:51:32
In Japan:
:51:36
In the United States:
:51:42
- But that, to me, brings up
an important question:

:51:46
Then what is so different
about Americans?

:51:49
Tom Mauser
Father of Columbine victim

:51:51
Are we homicidal in nature?
:51:54
Because in Europe and Australia,
:51:57
most other free-world countries,
they don't have this.

:51:59
They don't have people who snap
and go on murderous rampages.

:52:03
- Well, no, they're just like us.
They have the occasional person

:52:05
that snaps and kills
a lot of people.

:52:08
How about a British soccer riot?
Those aren't Quakers there,

:52:11
- Every time that
I bring up comparisons

:52:13
with other free-world countries,
what I hear is:

:52:15
"Oh, our culture is so
different. We're so different."

:52:17
And as you said, they have
violent video games,

:52:19
they have violent movies,
they have alienated youth,

:52:22
they - like us - don't have
prayer in schools.

:52:25
What is so radically different?
What is it about us?

:52:30
- What is it?
- What is it?

:52:32
- What is it?
- What is it?

:52:34
I don't know.
:52:39
- Now, it's time for...
:52:42
Hi, boys and girls.
Ready to get started?

:52:44
Once upon a time, there were
these people in Europe

:52:46
called pilgrims and they were
afraid of being persecuted.

:52:50
So they all got in a boat
and sailed to the New World

:52:53
where they wouldn't have
to be scared ever again.

:52:56
- Oh, I'm so relaxed.
- I feel so much safer.

:52:59
- But as soon as they arrived,
they were greeted by savages.
