Considering you can legally buy certain types of firearms in the UK I dont agree.

Banning handguns in the UK has proven banning doesn't work as there was a mass shooting involving rifles and shotguns in Cumbria a few years back.

The solution is the following:

1. Proper licensing

2. Mandatory use of gun safes

Banning does not work, if handguns were legal in the UK I would argue not one further mass shooting would have occured than what has with them banned as proper licensing and vetting as kept them out the hands of the wrong people (legally).

There have only ever been 2 mass shootings in the UK. Far too small a number to be able to support any argument one way or the other.
 
President Trump is already suggesting those inside should have been armed to protect themselves.

"If there was an armed guard inside the temple that would have been able to stop him, maybe there would have been nobody killed except from him"

"They had a maniac walk in and the didn't have any protection and it's so sad to see. So sad to see."

I don't think he'll be happy until every single person in the US is routinely armed. Crazy.

Well, exactly. It’s a ridiculous thing to say or believe.

He also said that the death penalty should be applied for stringently after mass shootings. I’m sure that will put off future mass murderers considering most of them either kill themselves at the scene or allow the police to do it for them.
 
..so obvious for any right minded individual but it’s not going to happen in the US. Incredible.

TBF it is almost impossible to see how it could ever happen; there are hundreds of millions of firearms over there and the Government have very little idea of who has them.

They have just said 11 dead.

RIP
 
..it’s mindboggling. The solution seems so obvious. We have lots of US posters on here but I find it hard to make a logical argument for keeping things as they are.
I agree with you. It is illogical and for me more because of the every day gun violence and not the mass shootings. More people lose their life to the former but it is so common it has stopped being news.
 
What I don’t understand is while this horrible incident is not being reported as a terror attack.

Crazy clown walks into a Synagogue shouting all Jews must die to me qualifies as a terror attack in every form.

Anyway my condolences to all those affected by this and I hope they throw the book at this loser

It will never happen, however I would ban the production and possession of ammunition unless under strict licensing terms: bear arms all you like without bullets!

Obviously it would not be a perfect solution as there's already copious amount in circulation and there will be smuggling or private production, but it'd be a start.

@Groucho in Australia they had a buy-back scheme from 1996 to early 2000s, which involved involuntary purchases by the government. A possible option?
 
Very sad today

If people didn’t have proof he was a sociopath before his statement yesterday, they certainly should have it now
