Meanwhile in America

[The Cowboy]

Once again (and I'm sure it'll have been mentioned earlier in this thread), the NRA ignore the context of the 2nd Amendment:

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The point of the 2nd Amendment is to allow the people to form an army to protect the nation from invasion/coup etc. It is not for protecting your self or your property against burglars, and it's not for shooting kids in schools.

Keep all firearms at shooting clubs or highly secure vaults (an annex to the local police station, for example), to be accessed only in times of emergency on the orders of the governor/mayor etc.

Ban campus's

Shouldn't that be 'campi'?

One basket-case country, that. Ban all semi & fully automatic firearms for public sale. Revolvers & break-open shotguns only.

Absolutely disgusting that it was discussed on a forum the night before with some warm and touching responses.

If this is indeed the shooter then this site needs to be terminated immediately.

lost for words reading that.

Not sure but demonising the tens of millions who own guns and manage not to kill people isn't productive.

that isnt happening tho is it? we/obama are suggesting more regulation to get hold of a gun

Well burying heads in the sand doesn't appear to be working out too well either. There will be another school shooting next week whilst the NRA mulls it over.

There will be dozens of shootings every day in the inner city neighbourhoods which won't get a mention.

Not sure that's really supporting the belief that the status quo should remain?

Don't kid yourself, the guns are only part of the problem...The pervasive culture of violence and Islamophobia plays a role as well

There is some truth to the first point, the laws in canada are not a million miles apart yet the culture is

 

[Walken]

Seeing as pretty much every tournament England were involved in afterwards apart from 96 was marred by violence I'd say no.

As usual, you are wrong

 

[peteblue]

But it's not the guns that kill people it's th...........no, wait, it IS the guns.......how have we not noticed this before......

 

[neil999]

what i find amazing is the massive difference in opinion on guns between us and america, the most right winger poster on here would be confused by their gun laws

 

[Walken]

That honestly makes our popcorn look incredibly tame.

I was seriously worried about Ijjy at one point, a certain post seemed.... concerning

As usual you can't back up anything you say.

yeah it deffo isnt JUST the gun laws, which actually strenghens the idea to have more gun control not weaken it
