"Outrageous and unacceptable is all Jo biden has to say wtf ..." Unfortunately with the nra finding most of the politicians it's not likely to be changed anytime soon Doesn't matter who the president is with a system that allows donations like that | |||

"LOL Amazing how some people can blame an object with no soul or mind for killing people. Guns aren't the problem it’s the persons using them that do the killing. Same as a knife lol its not the knife that killed it’s the person using it. Sadly until you change the human mind you won’t prevent killings. America is only one place, albeit very large place lol, that has mass killings going on and in some much more. Banning weapons only prevents the good from having them, it certainly doesn't stop the bad getting them. Remember when UK banned guns lol. I remember a high-ranking Police official stating that Banning guns was not the best thing to do as it will drive the sale of firearms underground and will make it next to impossible for the Police to Trace the weapon to a person. Gun crime in the UK is up by many times since before the Ban. The problem doesn't lie with having weapons it’s the way the law is enforced. America already has Gun laws that should be followed but very few do. If you look at pretty much all those who have carried out mass shootings there were many signs that should have prevented them from having any weapons. I have lived in many countries, and I can say if the rules are followed correctly there would be far less of a problem. Not mentioning these countries by name but in one, to buy a weapon you must have the correct authority. To get that you need to have a doctor’s and psychologist’s clearance, a Police clearance which your past is scrutinized in depth, and you need to have had the appropriate training. All need to done Annually. On top of that you could only have a weapon if you had a certified gun safe securely fixed to the wall. The law also stated that if a weapon was taken from you due to your own negligence and then used to kill someone else, you can be charged and jailed for manslaughter. In America there are rules and regulations but just never enforced. Sadly, for the law to be enforced correctly will have many shouting out about Police interference lol. " BuT GuNs DoNt KiLl PeOpLe, PeOpLe KiLl PeOpLe 
Yeah, no shit, they use the GUNS to do the killing.
Brain dead thinking. If good guys having guns would be the solution for the problem then why are the kids still dying in schools. | |||

"It’s not the guns. It’s the sad case of deranged people that are brought up with vidoe games and the culture of what these mass shootings bring. Not having avl of guns would help but wouldn’t fix the underlying problem " Yeah I'm sure the SHOOTING is not a GUN issue. It's a video game issue. It's a trans issue. It's a mental health issue. It's teachers not being armed issue. It's not enough people having guns issue. Fucking brain dead. God I hope this dumbass generation of people doesn't last. | |||

Wtf is he supposed to do when about 80% of the country go mental if anyone tries to stop them buying assault rifles with their groceries?

"Outrageous and unacceptable is all Jo biden has to say wtf ..." Nothing changed since the last one , same words same lobby propaganda and protection of the gun industry.

"I'm sorry but why do you keep banging on about something that can't be influenced by us its Americas backward view of life thats created this, just leave them be to sort out the mess they've created
Why have conversations about any news story, or nature, or the cosmos. Its not likewise can influence them?!Its an age old problem in America though and its caused by guns something they won't relinquish even after tragedies like this and those before and the news harps on about negativity i for one would rather be ignorant of others ignorance, nothing will be done about it, the problem i mean not the nutter that did it
Presumably the title of the thread made it clear that this is not a topic you'd want to participate in?exactly the reason i said what i said

"Like Chris Rock said starting charging $1000 a bullet maybe. There is something very wrong in the American phychi that is a big problem. Sure gun control is required especially of assault rifles but I fear they will still happen. Other countries have large numbers of guns, admittedly not assault rifles and don't have the same problem. There is something in their society were those with issues think, I know the answer to my problem, I'll buy guns and shoot innocent people. This just doesn't happen as frequently in any other country. There is something very wrong that on a daily basis people feel it's their only way out. They have a social and mental health issue that needs addressing more than gun control." You do know alot of people reload thier own. we have a reloader and alot of people I know have them too.

"This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper." Sounds like their world is ending with a fair few bangs.

"People just buy more firearms because the government can't be relied upon. How's that working out? Gbat Fine for me." I think this is what people outside the US can’t get their head around. It no longer matters why the situation exists, the mere fact that it does means you can’t rely on local or national authorities to be available when you need them (not that you ever really could, that was always a fallacy). Consequently, people have taken personal responsibility for their own safety. Even if you are fortunate enough to have a competent local police force, when seconds count, the police are at best minutes away. | |||

"Because in America matey Kids can get their hands on the guns easily.... That is not an answer you gave its another excuse to remove all guns.... LOL Have you considered how that would done? Guns can be made very simply. One country they make guns with the old metal conduit and use shotgun rounds. How would you stop them? Also now so many can simply print with 3D printers.... Should we Ban all Conduit and 3D printers because they kill people lol " We have guns from the 1800s. So imagine how many are out there unregistered. Only way you can get rid of them all is to kick down doors and confiscate each and everyone if them. Can't use the military to do it . So it's the status quo. | |||

Faced with a real life gunfight, many 'trained' people react this way too..two way ranges have that effect.. "I do 3 gun it helps to be better with stressful situations. | |||

"The latest is a 16 year old boy who went to pick his siblings up but went to the wrong house. Rang the bell. The man shot him in the head, then again when he was on the floor. He had to go to three houses to try and get help - the 3rd told him to put his hands up and lay on the ground, before the called the police for help. The man was RELEASED after a day. The police said they can’t arrest him until they’ve spoken to the boy and have more evidence. The boy was black and the man white. I can guarantee if it were the other way round, he’s have been arrested. Just abhorrent. What a world we live in " The aftermath is almost as disgraceful as the shooting itself. | |||

Feeling it's ok just to shoot someone (let alone a young boy) like that as they deigned to ring your doorbell. I guess it's because they felt secure enough that the justice system would protect them, but let's hope that is not proved right. Abhorrent's the word. | |||

"People just buy more firearms because the government can't be relied upon. How's that working out? Fine for me." So far. Pity about all the other deaths though. How has possessing your firearm protected you so far? Have you drawn it and a potential assailant has backed down? Or do you just feel safer carrying it? And I mean in your home area, not somewhere else on military duty. I’m happy I don’t live in a country where it’s necessary to teach little kids active shooter drills. Gbat | |||

"Yes another mass shooting. It's still not going to change public perception. It's viewed as a everyday risk." I view a lack of dropped kerbs as an everyday risk. I don't worry for one millisecond as to whether someone is going to shoot me or my family and my biggest fear for my daughter at school, is "have we brought the reading book on the right day?" Not "will she survive to be collected at the end?" | |||

We all had to be tested for lead poisoning and two people were hospitalised as a precaution. It was regarded as traumatic at the time.

This is going to take a bit of explaining… In Missouri there is no state law as such of attempted murder… so the “assault” charges is a class a felony, which is the highest that can be charged and that carries a 10-30 year sentence Now if there is a racial element to this the DOJ could charge him with attempted murder asa federal race hate crime…. You also need to note that Missouri is one of those states with a “stand your ground” law which you can almost guarantee is going to be this person’s defence if there is any hint of race playing any role he should be charged. What about the shooting in Saratoga county NY? Woman shot and killed for turning around in a driveway.Why isn't that headlines ? " It is here in the UK, on BBC news | |||

The problem is that the criminals and psychotic don't apply for gun licences. So, with hundreds of thousands of weapons floating around, how do you control the uncontrollable? So the American mentality is "If they have a gun, I want a gun." Which is how you see 70 Yr old women with a holstered Magnum...in the queue at Walmart. It's not right but I see both sides of the argument. It's easier to go hard on guns when you start from our situation in Europe. But how do you stop guns in their situation? Democrats have nibbled at the edges of gun control, but even if they stop the sale of all guns, the value of used guns will elevate and their sale will go underground. The fact that most of the perpetrators use suicide, or suicide by cop, as the end to it, the incidents just become tragedies and forgotten when another comes along. | |||

"Just my opinion but I asked other people who recently purchased firearms at the range what was the reason for purchasing. The social unrest for protection is always a answer. So if someone pulls a gun on you you pull a gun, so who fires first?

"393 million firearms in civilian hands. 20 million of those are AR-15s and I am supposed to be safe without a firearm. Like I said earlier it's like picking up car keys in the morning just like another necessity. | |||
