Sweden in Flames After years of prosperity, both economically and politically, Sweden is slowly losing its status. This is mainly due to an increased crime rate and a struggling economy. The peculiar thing is that countries outside of Europe remain oblivious to these issues, perceiving Sweden as a perfect country.

What We Are Fighting Against In 2022 there were 46 school shootings which is more than any year since Columbine. This exposed 43,000 children to gunfire and killed 34 students and adults. Despite what many think, handguns are the most common weapon used for school shootings. What is the next step to promise safety to the children who are required to attend school?
