lip2lip	17-Feb-18 20:20:53 Media always pinpoints the bad points in all walks of life. For my point of view I’ve learnt that loved ones always come first and your one of few whom fit into this category. The UK is as dangerous as any other place, the difference is we don’t have law to LEGALLY use guns, if it did, then I am sure to say it would be a lot worse.. KNIVES ARE RIFE , tho. But leaders should stay off Twitter in my opinion....you know what I mean.... End of my so called rant xx

TexAngel	17-Feb-18 20:36:30 I completely agree and I hold you in high regards.xo

jake5270	18-Feb-18 2:53:05 Living in a small mid-western town, I was appalled at what happened in Florida. I thought: Thank God we have better sensibilities here. The very next day a young man here was arrested for posting a picture on Snapchat of him holding a gun and warning kids not to go to school that day. This young man shames our town and reminds me that idiocy knows no borders. ~

imnotreallyhere2	22-Feb-18 9:07:29 I'm not sure we'll see completely eye-to-eye on this. But that's fine, and your blog actually explains a major reason why that's so - and better than I've seen elsewhere. In the UK, most people don't have guns. Maybe farmers have shotguns or a hunting rifle. But in the city? Doesn't happen. The norm here is that most people don't have guns, and they are't part of our daily life or consciousness. I'm sure that I'd get different responses in New York, LA, Texas and Oklahoma, but what your blog conveys to me is that 99.9% of gun-owning Americans will never, ever be directly involved in gun-related crime - as victim or perpetrator. Living in that kind of society, I guess guns simply become things which normal, sensible people may or may not wish to own, but which really don't cause any particular problems day-to-day. And that, I think, is the bit which Europeans like me simply don't get. We see what the media shows us - the NRA, occasional crazies living with a nuclear arsenal somewhere in Wyoming, and sometimes tragedies such as this. We don't see the other side - where the normal people we interact with in everyday life own guns without causing any problem to anyone. Personally, I agree with you that the time really has come for stricter gun control, and I'd go much further than you. But it frustrates me when Europeans make no effort to understand why the kind, smart, sensible people living the other side of the Atlantic don't automatically share their world view.

owbiglineman	25-Feb-18 13:06:41 Well said, Angel. Pretty much spot on with how I feel, about it all. I'm not a parent, but I worry like crazy about my nieces and nephews. What changed from when I was in high school? Problems between kids were handled with a rare fistfight, never a weapon. There are no easy answers. It took a long time to get this point, and it will take a long time to unravel. Mental health would be a good place to start, along with restricting these military type weapons - I don't see a need for the general public to have them.
