It does get frustrating when others trash the USA. If we are so bad, why are?
there 38,000,000 legal immigrants and (approximately) 20,000,000 illegal
immigrants who left their homelands to start their lives over in the US. As much
as we can say about our country, I think these numbers just say it louder, and
without any bias we may be accused of. God Bless the USA. (lakos365)

from Wiki:

The Wounded Knee Massacre happened on December 29, 1890, near Wounded
Knee Creek (Lakota: Cankpe Opi Wakpala) on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation in South Dakota, USA. On the day before, a detachment of the
U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment commanded by Major Samuel M. Whitside
intercepted Spotted Elk's (Big Foot) band of Miniconjou Lakota and 38
Hunkpapa Lakota near Porcupine Butte and escorted them 5 miles westward
(8 km) to Wounded Knee Creek where they made camp.

The rest of the 7th Cavalry Regiment arrived led by Colonel James
Forsyth and surrounded the encampment supported by four Hotchkiss guns.

On the morning of December 29, the troops went into the camp to disarm
the Lakota. One version of events claims that during the process of
disarming the Lakota, a deaf tribesman named Black Coyote was reluctant
to give up his rifle claiming he had paid a lot for it. A scuffle over
Black Coyote's rifle escalated and a shot was fired which resulted in
the 7th Cavalry opening firing indiscriminately from all sides, killing
men, women, and children, as well as some of their own fellow troopers.
Those few Lakota warriors who still had weapons began shooting back at
the attacking troopers, who quickly suppressed the Lakota fire. The
surviving Lakota fled, but U.S. cavalrymen pursued and killed many who
were unarmed.

By the time it was over, at least 150 men, women, and children of the
Lakota Sioux had been killed and 51 wounded (4 men, 47 women and
children, some of whom died later); some estimates placed the number of
dead at 300. Twenty-five troopers also died, and thirty-nine were
wounded (6 of the wounded would also die). It is believed that many were
the victims of friendly fire, as the shooting took place at close range
in chaotic conditions.

The site has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

Sounds like a 2nd amendment dispute.
