Can't buy 3 packs of paracetamol.
How many did the UK have before...
Once can be an anomaly, not the standard.
Who's they? As you usually need a background check to buy a shotgun.

How many did we have before ? There's been more attacks with bombs than there have been school shootings and bombings have always been banned
Same.Caught the headline of the latest slaughter, I don't even want to read the article, just too horrible to contemplate. Those poor people.
America gets what America wants. There's no majority over there that wants this to stop, ergo they want it to continue.
Bombs are easier to manufacture than guns and ammunition...

And bows & arrows are easier than bombs but we don't see mass arrow shootings
They're not really. And one bomb, set and left is far more destructive than anyone will ever be with a bow and arrow.
You want to inflict maximum damage and get clear of the area? Use a bomb.
I really cannot stress how easy they are to make with no tools and commonly available items.
Making a bow and arrows of any effectiveness requires tools and skill.
"Bing!"

The Yanks will get over this, as they always do. Then nothing will change, because for all their screaming, they actually have no great desire to improve matters.
That's because it's much easier (and more efficient) to use a firearm.

Did you see the sky interview with the woman who was there?
According to her, whats happening in Ukraine proves we need guns to defend ourselves.
I didn’t know they had anti tank guns out there.
It takes an easily available and easy to use weapon away from people that act on impulse.
It takes time and effort to make and plant an explosive.
It takes nothing to point a gun at someone and pull the trigger. Plus kids tend not to accidentally find your bomb and blow their sister up with it.
You don't need to ban guns completely. You just need to regulate them properly. That's why every other Western country has a far lower firearm crime rate than the US.

If only Texan teachers had guns to defend themselves, this wouldn't have happened....
