Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
I was waiting for you to show. I am extremely saddened and upset, but the second amendment is not the reason this happened. |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
Really? We're not allowed guns in the UK... and funnily enough this shit very rarely happens here! Coincidence? |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
It doesn't happen every day here either. We have far more people than you do as well. Dunblane??? Germany has had quite a lot of school shootings, how do you explain those? |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
you're right.... let's not make this about the tragic loss of life and the slaying of innocent children...lets turn this thread into a battle over the gun rights of a country you dont live in. very compassionate of you.  |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
This is awful. I don't want to send my kids to school with assholes like this around. Makes no sense at all.

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
This is not the gun's fault. Its the person behind the gun. Getting rid of guns will not solve the problem. Getting rid of or helping those with the guns will solve the problem. ...I am at a loss of words. Sick to my stomach.

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
I have to agree with MEMOR3X on this. The gun controls implemented in the UK after Dunblane have made a huge difference. Like any contentious topic, there are statistics available that can be utilised to prove or disprove effectiveness of these laws. I, for one, felt a shift in attitude towards guns that makes everyone feel so much safer. I'm not going to claim there are no illegal weapons, nor will I claim that a school massacre is now impossible in the UK. I feel that a populous in this day and age cannot and should not be routinely trusted with weapons that are designed to kill other humans, be it for self defence or simply exerting some legal right. Until the American population address their normalised, mundane attitude towards guns, many will feel that they NEED them to defend against aggressors. As a Brit, we barely recognise guns nowadays; they are an alien concept, somewhat the preserve of Hollywood and fantasy. I think the national attitude is that we don't need or want them because criminals or anyone we fall foul of are so unlikely to carry them. To normalise their presence again would be a grievous regression. Having said that... My suspicions are that similar gun controls would be less effective in the US because of your land borders; I suspect that criminals would continue to source weapons en masse from neighbouring nations. In Britain, I'm sure many guns come across from France but I suspect it's individual units coming over to equip only the most dedicated criminal factions. |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
I refuse to discuss politics when such a tragedy has occurred..It is barbaric and senseless..Schools should be a safe zone..That is quite simply all..
