Another american shooting..

now the cops got tanks cos' the kids got guns......


tbh, its not really a gun problem because the moment you take the guns away [take for example the uk] it becomes knives or dogs and the next thing you know humanity's average existence approaches something like a mental asylum- padded walls floors and ceilings and no sharp objects.

in other words America doesn't have a gun problem, America has a nutjob problem
 
Is it just me or are these becoming more worryingly frequent than they have been over the past decade or so? Such a tragic waste of human life.

I dont think so, i think the main stream media just report it more.
Imagine if they did the same for all countries, we would have thousands a day.

Agreed... Can put a gun in the hands of a perfectly sane person who would never harm another living thing and person and is that gun a problem? no.

That's a fair point, seems like more news being reported equals more horrible stories coming out that wouldn't have been years ago.
 
to me the news companies revel in reporting the bad news... but in saying that the audience is obviously there or they wouldn't be doing it
 
Doesn't every country have a nutjob problem though? I couldn't imagine what must go through the heads of the people who kill others with intention of doing such. I feel bad if i cause harm to anyone. Must be an upbringing thing and how your brains wired.. I won't understand it

Of course that's only one-third of the story.

2/3: Is it easier for a nutjob to score multiple kills with:

a knife...or

an AK47 :p

and 3/3: Does outlawing guns make it less likely for nutjobs to acquire them, or just more difficult/impossible for law abiding citizens?
 
Americas problem is their gun laws and their treatment of the mentally ill. They need to make guns harder to get and also start improving the laws around mentally ill people.

I can't take my air rifle to my local gun shop without them taking down my name address and serial number of the rifle, let alone just go into Sainsbury's and buy a semi automatic pistol.

The whole "Don't bother because knives" argument is dumb as hell. Running away from a guy with a semi automatic rifle is harder than running from someone with a knife.
 
but you could also argue that even with tighter gun laws that wouldn't stop someone intent on getting one to use it as a weapon to kill innocent people. They would just acquire it out with the law....

If you look for them there are an equivalent number of instances where people's lives have been saved because someone had a gun and could defend themselves or others.
The fact that such stories are not reported implies a strong liberal/fascist anti-gun bias in the media, therefore essentially Americans are being lied to.
