From the land of haribos.

Who else was shocked to hear that a 6 year old had shoot a teacher in a school in virgina today? I was as I turned on the news, the good news is, is that the teacher seem to be recovering, do you think it was planned and what do you think about it?

The only thing that shocked me about that incident was the age of the kid involved. That aside, nothing surprises me when it come to Americans and guns anymore.

Nothing is going to change in that country until their politicians stand up to the NRA, and to the people who believe it's their divine right to own assault rifles (fully aware this particular incident was a handgun though). Like.....in what world does a civilian need an assault rifle??

Heard part of a program on Radio 4 a few weeks ago. They were saying the NRA actually give politicians a rating from 1 to 10 on how pro or against current gun laws they are.

That really wouldn't surprise me. The NRA finance a fair of policitians' campaigns over there; they hold way too much sway over too many people. Problem is, even if they did somehow manage to tighten up their laws, there are already too many guns out there for it to have any sort of short-term impact.

The guns in themselves are not the only issue for most Americans though - it's the mindset and the character of some of the people who carry them. How do you change that? How do you get the guns out of the hands of the people who most definitely shouldn't have them? I'd have no idea where to even start with that one

I watched something recently say that the anti gun lobby should join the NRA. If there’s 2 million pro gun members and 3 million anti gun members, they’ll out vote the pro vote every time. Eventually get an anti gun member as the President, then bye bye the NRA.

A sort of Trojan horse move.

was a assault rifle used ? No it wasn't. A six year old carrying a long gun would be noticed. You don't even know what a assault rifle is.

If it happened in Scotland there would be a very lenient sentence

Scottish government has instructed judges that anyone under the age of 25 should not go to jail as their brain has not fully developed

Nevermind a 6 year old.

An assault rifle is,

a weapon the military generally uses and has “select fire capabilities,” or the capability to switch between semi-automatic or a fully automatic mode

Note that an AR-15 of which we can buy here in the UK is not an assault weapon as it is only semi - automatic

Ok, I'll bite. It's a firearm with a detachable mag and which has selective fire - that can switch between semi- and full-automatic.

Just googled 4 year shot.....

Was not surprised that a 2 year old, had accidentally shot and killed the childs mum.

4 year old had shot and killed itself, isn't the freedom to carry firearms brilliant.

So in answer to your question, not surprised at all.

Who cares about them having assault rifles, they can legally .50 sniper rifle. The person can shoot and kill you at over a mile away, you wouldn't even see the shooter. In addition to that, anything like body armor, brick walls and such like won't stop the round.

They can but how prevalent is that knowledge.Handguns are a major issue over assault rifles. I have a 5.56 AR also I use a AR style shotgun for competitions. You know the scary black guns. Yet if I roll with my benelli shotgun that carries the same amount of ammo that is perfectly acceptable because it is not a AR style platform both semi auto. Same functions different ergonomics. Ban ARs yet others are still high capacity and are ignored. Media scaremongering.

Normally their reasoning is that the best way to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun. Not entirely sure how that works here. Many Americanites want to arm the school teachers with guns I hear, that might work here perhaps? A gun battle in the classroom?

Yes we have AR shotguns here in the UK too, the Benelli M2 9 shot is far better than any AR as the AR shotguns have a lot of jamming issues on practical shoots.

I have the Benelli M2 and it out performs most, or perhaps im just a better shot.

Not shour why guns get a bad rep and not people

If there were no legal guns, 99.9% of shootings WOULD stop. Yes, there are other weapons, but very few that can do so much damage in a fraction of a second. They can be used at distance, giving zero opportunity for self defence, and are often involved in accidental deaths.

It seems ludicrous to allow guns to be so readily available in a first world country.

Several years ago I got into a Facebook friend of a friend exchange. The guy was an ex marine and thought ‘you brits were retards’ for not having the right to bear arms, ‘cos when your government comes for you, you got no defence.’

The exchange was quite heated when a few other Brit’s joined in. Pointing out the stupidity of his ‘the only way to beat a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun shoot him - was pretty pointless exercise.

So no, a six year with a gun shooting a teacher in a US school doesn’t surprise one little bit!

Does the bear charge at you before or after your hunting session. You say you hunt so maybe stay out of it's environment maybe?

Just proves that the biggest predator in the world is a human being.

"Banning handguns the more logical choice.I carry one because if I waltz out of my house with my AR people lose their minds. Yet my G-19 is accepted. Ban handguns.Ban all guns you can't kill if you dont have one, too late for America now mind

Kids in schools with guns is becoming a recurrent theme, yet the lessons are never learned how can they stop it though 330 million people in America and almost every household has at least 2 guns

Exactly, that's what I mean when I say lessons are never learned Hence why the parents should be charged not the child. Anyway you look at the situation. The parents are at fault.

And I don't disagree with that, but without guns being legal then then the gun wouldn't be around for the kid to find.

And when I say lessons learned I mean that it's not the first time kids have taken guns into schools, it's recurrent and what is the common denominator there hey, let's blame all the parents lol. Blaming the parents doesn't acknowledge the fundamental problem; legality of guns.

No gun should be legal. well I sure as hell not going to throw a rock at a charging bear. We get them.bears charge humans frequently in your part of america then? "

I find the bears argument strange.

Much of Europe has bears, wolves and other wild animals.

Europeans don't, as a rule, feel the need to own guns as a result.

I find it strange too. I have family in Canada and they see the bears come to root through bins at night, they never bother in the day, they stay away from people.

One morning my relative opened up her bin to find a bear cub in there, later that morning the Mumma bears body was found, authorities believed that the bear was injured, knew her fate yet got the cub to safety

Ban all guns I say.

How the fuck did that six year old get hold of it in the first place?? "

Combination off things

1 parents being careless with them

2 lock company not caring

99% off locks can be opened by a 2 year old without the key

So even if it was in a safe or had a trigger lock or a lock box or anything

I mean literally it’s this easy

True but my understanding of bears is they only attack when hungry, they dont generally come near humans, they are however quite fearsome and grizzlies are gigantic, so i can understand a gun in that instance

Its my personal choice to protect myself. Wildlife and humans. Had to shoot a rabid raccoon couple years back that bit a neighbor. I agree they shouldn't be allowed in inner cities they only serve one purpose. But that will never happen.

"The only thing that shocked me about that incident was the age of the kid involved. That aside, nothing surprises me when it come to Americans and guns anymore.

Nothing is going to change in that country until their politicians stand up to the NRA, and to the people who believe it's their divine right to own assault rifles (fully aware this particular incident was a handgun though). Like.....in what world does a civilian need an assault rifle?? was a assault rifle used ? No it wasn't. A six year old carrying a long gun would be noticed. You don't even know what a assault rifle is. "

read what he said your reply says it all about Americans and guns taf.

"An assault rifle is,

a weapon the military generally uses and has “select fire capabilities,” or the capability to switch between semi-automatic or a fully automatic mode

Note that an AR-15 of which we can buy here in the UK is not an assault weapon as it is only semi - automatic lol you can't buy full auto here either."

shouldn't be able to buy a single shot are your the leaders of the free world my arse
