At least 19 dead in pair of mass shootings in South Africa, police confirm

Both at bars.

South Africa has very strict gun laws. Can take up to 2 years to get a permit to purchase a gun. Number of hoops to jump through including an inspection of your premises.

This has to be fake news. The NYT and WaPo have told us many times that mass shootings are a uniquely American problem.

Or did I miss us annexing South Africa recently?
