"Suns out, guns out"
No I'm not. I'm saying that introducing stricter gun laws will make it harder for the " wrong " people to be able to get access to guns. It will not stop the crazy deluded person intent on killing as many people as they can in one incident from carrying out their wish. It just won't. I'm all for reducing the amount of weapons though. I'm not American, I'm British and live here but it's just my view. Hasn't gone down well on here and I'm obviously in the minority. I will close by saying this. I do WISH gun control would work, I really do.
Noisy, are you saying that if the US introduced tighter / stricter gun rules and laws, it would stop mass shootings. ?
so you're ok with gun control in the UK but not the USA?
The Americans take the second Amendment very very seriously. I mean ultra seriously. Nothing will change that.
It might.
It certainly won't cause more of them.
After sandy hook, I fear you might be right.
Tho it's not for the lack of trying.
oh wait, yea, it is for the lack of trying. Thanks NRA
Are you honestly pretending it wouldn’t?

Mass shootings in America by the numbers
Since Sept. 29, 2018, Illinois has had the most people killed and injured in mass shootings of any state. Likewise, Chicago has had the most people killed and injured in mass shootings of any city during the same time.

Yes. It’s really bad in some cities. Also keep in mind this only reflects the “mass,” shootings so 4 or more involved as you say. If you look at totals where there are fewer victims, the picture is much worse.
But it’s been changed before, that’s why it’s so absurd to hear people not understanding how amendments can work
No, I was asked if I would loosen gun controls in the UK. I said no. I am saying introducing them anywhere won't stop mass killings. Subjective of course but it's my view as a Brit, that it's the person with a gun who divides to kill lots of people. They could choose a crossbow, a knife, axe etc etc, if they want to do it they will. People on London bridge were knifed to death recently. Shall we ban knives ? By the common held view on here then their logic is remove them from society and it won't happen. The problem is, we ALL know it won't.
It doesn't even need to be changed, it just needs to be understood correctly.
Your argument seems to rest upon the spotty logic that conflates eliminating the possibility with eliminating the probability. Perchance, are you the sort who believes the covid vaccines "didn't work" since they were only ~85% effective or so?

Would it stop them all? No. But even if we stopped just one more by doing SOMETHING, it’s still worth it. Do you not agree?
No pretending at all. I'm saying 100% that I'm right. Gun control will not stop mass shootings. Your turn. Are you saying they will, by removing en mass people's rights to carry arms it will end mass killing ? How confident are you ? 100% sure.
