It will only be when the entire country has gun control, that we will be safe. look at our stats compared to the UK, they speak for themselves!

you can try all you want but there will always be away for someone to be able to get a gun illegal or not

There are ways to get a gun in regulated countries but they are so few and far between that they don't have massacres on anything like the scale we do!

Of course people can always get guns. It's just best of they're not as easily bought as milk.

If you couldn't buy a gun in the first place, you couldn't make an unregulated sale!

Honestly .. Much of that is bs. We have strong gun laws here - yet - gangs are getting their hands on them

Point being .. These aren't legally obtained fire arms (here). It's against the law for them to have it. Yet, they have them and kill people with them. It's also against the law to kill people

It's a decision for the population at large and the strong will among that population to keep their right to have a gun and why is what needs to be addressed. And why these tragedies don't alter that.

Even though it's against the law .. It doesn't stop certain people from doing it.

If only it were that simple...the man who did this must have had severe mental health issues...our medical system is as much to blame as anything else...

If guns are available of course gangs will get there hands on them and if not having guns means folk can't hunt, big deal, it also means innocent folk can't be murdered going about their normal routin

People are killing people because they are fucked up. Guns certainly make it easy - however .. If not guns .. Then I'd imagine in this specific case .. Explosive devices would have been used.

Is every one mad on here, they have as large a percentage of nutters in the UK but don't get the same percentage of shootings because guns are not freely available! are you going to blame noses for fo

Mental health NEEDS to be discussed. People don't focus resources on diseases that can't be seen...

Oh absolutely ITM. Such mass shootings are unbelievable .. This is a very different situation than what's happening in my area. However, the call is always "more gun control".

Shyguy, what a trite comment without the gun the people that pull the trigger wouldn't have the bottle to do JACK SHIT in 99.9% of occasions. It's guns that make puny little men feel brave!

It's a call I agree with. It seems to be the no-brainer first step. But I know it's a highly contentious issue for Americans. The rest of us just don't understand why.

I don't want to take the right to defend yourself away, but here people don't have guns, and I feel much safer that way.

We've always had access to guns. It's our 2nd ammendment right. However these events haven't always happened in history. I think the media motivates a lot of it.
(7 years ago)
The question then comes down to what's more important. That 2nd amendment right or the next classroom full of kids. Or movie theatre filled with bright young adults and so forth.

Sadly, death is a commodity to profit from. Be it gun crime or war.

The thing is, the 2nd amendment is there for the people (us) to protect ourselves if the gov't were to fail us. It was also enacted in the 1790's when people used muskets...not AR-15s

It's all too late, the lid is off Pandoras box, and can never be put back, unless a device is made that renders all guns inoperative, you are fucked!

We can't prevent things like this from happening. Let's just send our thoughts and prayers to the people who need it so much right now

yeah, Shaqila is right. These discussions never end; I could discuss for days. But for now, my heaviest thoughts and condolences to these poor people and their families.

If your government fails you or comes after you, your hand gun won't be much help. Also, the beauty of an amendment is in its name. Easily amended if the will is there to amend it. But I fear it isn't

That's true, LR. But not one that needs to be a hurdle. I also suspect the UK does manufacture guns, just not for general public sale but for international trade.

James Purdy and son, manufacturers of the best shotguns in the world are Uk based, but thankfully stupidly expensive: )

I'm not taking your argument as defence mate. Just reasoned debate. Which is crucial. My feeling is that clearly a ban on the ability to buy guns so readily would undoubtedly save thousands of lives.

I agree with that, LR. I touched on that earlier. Our modern way of life is fucked in many ways. It has its positives of course but there's so much anger and sadness among people. Somethings not right

Gun laws won't eradicate gun crime. But it will definitely overwhelmingly reduce the number of instances like Florida. That stroll in and kill dozens kind of action.

Well I don't know. It appears as though this was motivated my extreme ideology - if not a gun / then perhaps a homemade explosive device.

Like .. If someone is so fucking mentally twisted to do something like this - they will always find a way to try to. Guns certainly make it easier though. I won't argue that b

I can't say you're wrong mate but I can't see any of that as a reason not to cut off one of the sources of such large scale devastation.
