It’s OK, Texas will soon be the safest place in the whole world as they’ve passed legislation to allow handgun ownership without licence or background check. Texas to allow unlicensed carrying of handguns https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57239610 Well, at least it will be a good test to see if more guns are safer!
Today's mass shooting in the US
- Thread starter Rroff
- Start date
Will the police be stopping everyone they see with a handgun, just to check they’re allowed to have one, or as I suspect, they won’t?

Just think, if this had been Texas everyone would have been saved!
Yet another shooting that will be used by the nutters of the NRA to reinforce their twisted belief that more guns held by people who love guns is safer than either no guns, or guns held by people who seem them as tools for a job, not a status symbol to massage their tiny peniii

One of the insane things about that is that even in the "Wild West" there were usually more stringent gun laws than the GOP would want. Things like if you were within the town limits you had to either hand your weapons over for storage, or keep them in your house if a resident (the only time you could carry was on the way in/out of town), yet the GOP want to allow anyone to buy and carry a weapon without any checks or training.
If the Texas GOP was being genuine about their position, they'd allow the sale of tanks, drones and missiles, but it's just a petty political exercise in point scoring to pretend they care about giving people the power to overthrow them.

Mass shooting are reported world wide but if you are getting recommended American local news you find out that there are 10's of shootings everyday over there...scary to live in a country like that isn't it.
Over here most of the time it would be a fist fight?

Yeah its kind of crazy how many people shoot thier family or partner.
Or random person in a road incident
"
A police officer leaves a loaded weapon accessible to a 3 year old child. The toddler finds the gun and shoots and kills their 6 year old sister.
@HelenaPolice
file no charges because they “did not find any evidence of criminal negligence.”"
Stuff like this is also almost daily

Guys going for a haircut and getting a little too much taken off the top from a drive by...
I've gone back a week and so many kids finding guns, so many indiscriminate shootings, so many people pulling guns over petty squabbles over parking spaces. They can keep their guns, I'm very very glad they've been banned over here.That thread is insaneand like you said it just seems a routine daily occurrence...
Video somewhere of two neighbours having a dispute, full on belligerence, popping off shots at each other, if it wasn't so serious would be funny. Both take several hits but fortunately (or unfortunately depending how you look at it) neither was badly wounded.
EDIT: Similar one here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj03Ij394nc
First one was on ******** but seems they've changed the site.

That Twitter feed has seriously ****** me up. As a father seeing so many kids finding these guns and just shooting other kids with them is not cool.
How many lives have been lost over ****** gun policies in that country.
There's that recent heartbreaking story about a mother who gives the middle finger to someone who cut her off on the road. The passenger of the other car shoots at her car, the bullet passes through the car and the back of the child seat. The child cries "ooww" then dies shortly after in their mother's arms at the side of the road.
With all the tragic death going on and they still don't ban guns, what will make them ban them? Only Jesus resurrecting and saying "guns bad m'kay?", and that's about as unlikely as finding a No.42 bus on Mars.

I get the impression the answer is really 'never'. Sandy hook, where 26 people, including 20 children between six and seven years old, and six adult staff members were killed happened and nothing changed.
