Current Affairs The " another shooting in America " thread

[Kurt.]

I haven't bothered to read through the thread because, as you know, we've all been through this same song and dance before:

1) Shooting in America
2) Cue moral outrage on GOT
3) Attempt to discuss the debate in some sort of rational sense
4) Descending in shouting match and name calling
5) Thread closed

I imagine this one will end the same.

Best of luck.

So what would happen if America banned guns???

.001% Is not cause for the hysteria seen, people are pushing agendas

America has 5% of the world's population and 31% of all public mass shootings - it's pretty amazing that you don't think 50 more people dead in yet another attack is worthy of hysteria. What exactly qualifies as being worthy of hysteria in your book?

Didn't General Custer slaughter more than 50 natives by the way?

He got himself and 273 others killed by natives so they're pretty even.

Even restrictions would be nice. Dont see why going into the equivalent of ASDA and buying something that could wipe out a bus full of people in one go is really necessary.

far be it from me to judge others but I just can't fathom why somebody would want to own a lethal weapon in the first place.

If you was from the Wirral you'd want a lethal weapon...To deter the welsh from traversing your roads to get to Liverpool

I think you'll find it should be " If you were "
The shame, A Welshman correcting you in terminology of your own language.

The population of the U.K., for example, has risen too. However, gun death rates have fallen from 247 (1996) to 140 (2014), with some fluctuation in between. What's the difference?

The differences is proportional deaths are down

Tthese occourances are extremely rare and theres no reason to punish the vast majority of gun owners cause of the actions of a few nutters

Something thats actually a realistic threat

As i said before, we`re talking less than a hundreth of a one percent chance

but you know the media ‘If it bleeds it leads]

They think we're going to invade them again. That's why the amendment was made in the first place and has never been, uh, amended.
They're gonna be having daily fish and chips soon, just they wait and see.

Being from Chester I walk the walls with a Longbow every night hoping to catch a stray Blodwyn.

I couldn't trust myself with one , really wouldn't be a good idea , one flash of temper something daft in you head and someone is dead. I am not the right type of person , if there is a right type to own such a thing, but there would be nothing stopping me getting one if a lived in the USA.
saying that I suppose if you had them around you all your life you might think diffrent, not for the likes of me though.
