You're wrong on the first point. There are mass killings all over the planet. Hiding under a rock is not the best option. And any major airport you go to will have armed guards. Are air travelers more important that schoolchildren ? Or are liberals trying to leverage some bigger agenda by allowing the school shootings to continue ? You tell me.
Well of course there are shootings elsewhere, but not even close to the frequency of the US. How many school shootings this year, around 30 odd. Mass shooting in the shopping centre last week. If you don’t think you have a problem you’re kidding yourself.
How could I forget, I'm in Tuscan in the largest gun shop in the US, looking at weapons . Guy next to me is buying a pistol, salesperson . "What is the pistol for? reply "I just got divorced"
Missus. My friend in Tuscan, has some special heavy duty license for weapons , including an anti tank weapon! What hope have they got !
The NRA aren't the ones managing the schools, or the liberal cities where all these shootings are taking place. It's not a gun problem, it's a liberal problem.
Just for the record I used to love going shooting with both center fire and shotguns. BUT. 250 mass shootings in the US just this year alone. Just under 300 dead and just over 1000 wounded in under 6 months. As a reference there were approx 2000 killed and wounded on Omaha beach in 1944! And that's with real soldiers trying to kill you with MG 42's. This way of life is unacceptable in the US. What next, the national guard and tanks at the school gates?? A kill or be killed mentality. Take the US flags from the pictures and put up a third world zone, and can you tell the difference? This is not what my good friends in the USA need in their lives.
Some great States to drive through , the State of Maine and the Autumn trail is safe and awesome away from all the loonies . We did last trip 5,000kms no issues on the road .

But there's a factor that nobody is allowed to discuss, which got a big boost after BLM and "defund the police". Image Unavailable, Please Login
Let's brain storm here and suggest some solutions? - armed the students? - armed the teachers? - metal detector at entry?
sorry..no meant to undermine the issue.. such a sad sad event and one that should be avoided at all cost
Hooray! Somebody finally says the obvious. When Trump was in the White House every death was his fault, apparently. Yet now there is proof that lefty politics is more deadly. And what do we get? Silence. There have been more Chinavirus deaths on Sleepy Joes watch than Trumps. Do we hear about it? No. Where is the ABC? Surely this is the “Story of the century”? No. Not a peep. Pathetic.
I think it's too easy to say to simply take away guns from citizens. I know it was done in AUS after that massacre in the 90s, but I don't know what the guns per household stats where in Australia at the time. I assume quite a lot lower than USA. And in Australia, once banned, I figure it would be quite hard to illegally import guns. There is far too many guns in the USA to say ''give em up, boys''. How many aren't registered? Give up the registered ones and the illegal ones are buried in the garden, so to say. You'll quickly end with a landscape where only the criminals own guns and are now safe in knowing the vast majority don't have guns any more, so it gets even easier for them. Looking at some States that have recently announced they won't be prosecuting theft under $1000 (or even higher in some cases), how blatantly people go to stores now, take TV's and phones and whatever they like, without paying and zero disregard for anything, one can only imagine how quickly the USA will deteriorate if literally only criminals own the guns. IMO it's an education issue. **** knows what they're doing over there, but for comparison sake, Switzerland has a very high gun ownership and getting one isn't really that hard. The last mass shooting they had was in 2001. Hell, they only had 3 mass shootings since 1900. USA has had that many in the past 3 days! Education is what's needed. But that's not a short term solution. Taking away guns from citizens will only end up with criminals having all the guns, and with the wonderful open border with Mexico, wouldn't make it all that hard to get any type of gun you'd like illegally anyways. Knowing how kids are in a class and how mentally unstable teachers are. No ****ing way would I arm teachers, lol I'd use the military and professionally trained security/ex police and install a couple off armed guys at each school, particularly higher risk ones (I'm going to make an assumption here, but I'd say almost all school shooting happen at low to mid income areas. Still the overwhelming majority of schools that is, of course).
I saw Obama outright blaming the Republican's for this ****ing mess now. He had the House, Senate and the executive branch. Where the **** was he then? He could've easily passed through any gun restriction law he damn wanted. Too busy taking hand outs is my guess. Hypocritical **** that he is.
Absolutely, I'm sure all the dead kids were "liberals" What a pathetic argument. Texas is a liberal state? Not even close. But it is a state where any idiot can get a gun....as the world has just seen.
