Yet another nutter involved in mass shooting in the USA.

  • A nutcase went on a shooting rampage in Buffalo USA killing 10 people and injuring three . Biden was all speech and no action. What has he done to control gun ownership ? absolutely zilch. Until Biden takes action to ban assault weapons in the hands of the general public, there will always be mentally deranged individuals with a blood lust willing and able to commit mass slaughter.

    The Voice of Reason

  • There are so many firearms in the USA legally head or illegally held no matter what legislation they bring in they will always be available to buy for cash , we have some of the strongest firearms legislation in place , but firearms can still be obtained illegally they even reengineer replicas to fire live rounds

  • Sadly these incidents are all too common and parties of all stripes in USA have failed to sort this. No matter what the legislation, there will always be nutters able to get their hands on firearms. Goes without saying though that gun ownership laws need to be a lot tighter.

  • Given that the right to bear arms is in the US Constitution, I can’t see the laws over there being revised to ban firearms in my grandsons’ lifetimes, let alone mine!

  • Fully automatic assault rifles are illegal but it's as Fred said there are so many guns there that laws are irrelevant. Plus gun ownership is written in their constitution. They have as much chance of getting rid of guns as we do smashing down Parliament and the system then rebuilding from the foundations upwards. No there is something else going on in the US and it's more about mindset than anything else. There's plenty of other countries around the world with gun ownership and they don't have the same number of problems the US has.

    What you have to remember is that guns don't kill, they are just a tool, it's the mind behind the gun and finger on the trigger that kills and we have to look at the reason for that, You would have to disarm the cops too as many of their weapons end up on the street as well as their military local equivalent of TA, even in their military academy type schools for kids, and why punish all those that have the right to protect their homes. I bet if we where given the option then many of us would own gun.

    The yanks have an attitude problem along with a society that has a lot of crazy drug use, crime and poverty. It a broken society in many area's including in places like Las Vegas and Hollywood. Could you imagine this country if we where allowed guns and people lived in underground water drainage systems and sewers like moles or inside the concrete foundations of motorway flyovers. etc. Add the cocktail of prescribed pharmaceuticals into the mix then there is bound to be trouble including an increase of mental health issues. This is the consequence of a rich and poor divide and a society that is ruled by capitalism. It's only a matter of time before we reach the levels of the states as we become more Americanised only minus the guns. It will be knifes, acid or something else instead for us. Banning things or making illegal never solves the cause of the issues. In fact it probably adds to it as a new industry of privatised prisons are built. Crime is an industry on one side of the fence that supports the non crime industry on the other side of the fence and visa-versa. The problem is the balance of the scales has fallen too far to one side.
