    Sorry, but who in Ireland cares...

    Yeah, who in Ireland cares that 8 kids were shot in killed because of a silly legislation in a country that we are very close to. What kind of utter MORON would actually give a sh*t about kids dying? I mean, you'd have to ... wait, no, feck off.

    Another boards thread on America's gun laws (rolls eyes). Guys they aren't changing the gun laws get over it. You don't live there you don't get the culture. It's the culture of violence needs addressing not banning guns.

    no, it's definitely banning the guns that needs addressing.

    Also it's an internet forum, of course people will discuss world news like this, if you don't want to, then don't come into the thread complaining.

    The easy availability of guns has done nothing to make America or Americans safer.

    More guns = more gun deaths.

    They aren't EVER banning guns. 99% of people there are responsible gun owners. If they didn't change it after Sandy Hook they will never change it.

    Ah ****, not again. Awful news. The US has a big issue with these mass shootings and they need to take steps to prevent them in future.

    Why not start a thread about them then? Is that so hard rather than whinging about it

    No they don't. I have it on good authority that each and every one of them was a twat.

    Thought the plan wasn't to keep weapons out of schools but pack more in with more people being armed, teachers etc! The NRA need to whip Trump back into line like after the last school shooting when Trump also wavered a bit in terms of possible regulations.

    Donald Trump, broke off from an event at the White House and called the situation “ a very sad day”. He condemned “an absolutely horrific attack” and said his administration was “determined to do everything in our power” to prevent such incidents.

    “We are with you in this tragic hour and we will be with you forever. We will do everything we can to keep weapons out of our schools and out of the hands of those who should not have them,” he said.

    An NRA mantra that rings completely hollow.

    Guns do kill people.

    A nutcase without a gun is just a nutcase. A nutcase with a gun is a threat to a lot of people. And unless everyone is armed with an AR-15 and body armour, there is nothing to stop them. A handgun is useless in these circumstances.

    A nutcase in a rented van. Let's ban the Ford transit.

    A van has many other uses. A gun is designed to kill people.

    Guns can be used safely. It's their misuse that's the problem.

    That leaves 1% of 325,000,000 to avoid.

    Strawman arguement. They're designed to kill effectively. And that's not misuse, it's their purpose.

    Yes but guns are owned in huge numbers throughout the world and none have the same issues as the US. It's their culture of violence that's the issue.

    Not until the current generation of teenagers is in government anyways.
    And probably not even then :(

    I'd say there are more kids and teenagers being raised around guns, hunting etc than there are those who are for gun control. So yes, probably never

    As Chris Rock said.... its bullets being so cheap that's the REAL problem.


    I reckon if bullets were $2000 each,then I guarantee you people wouldn't be firin' 'em all over the place like confetti at a tinkers weddin.
