    I see 4 quotes, not enough spaces, and an extra period. Is the entire thing syousef's writing? If so, there needs to be an(other) end quote at the end. If not, why is the entire thing in italics (and it's good to know the yet another "editor" is a full fledged troll with the last line. Finally, how many times do we need a period in hte last line? I'm actually not trying to be a Grammar Nazi; I just don't understand what's being said here.

    How all of these Commonwealth countries that have banned private citizens from owning weapons are now deploying surveillance cameras and national ID cards. Adolph was big on banning guns too.
