Ah, another mass shooting. That must mean more guns, right?

    Is it like "gun violence" where Left Wing anti-gunners conflate knife slips, knife suicides and actual knife murders all rolled into the category "knife incident"?

    High. America is different. You want to be a Euro, but are too lazy to move, so you want to make the US like "the old country". Sorry, but that isn't going to happen. However, if it makes you feel better to hate the US, bitch about the US and try to make the US more like Europe, many good Americans have died giving you the freedom to say so.

    Dude, you are free to your opinion and you are free to be a hypocrite. However, when you believe you are the smartest kid on the block when you are obviously only average, expect to be spanked on a regular basis by those more intelligent than you and by those more experienced than you.

    These are not homicides by gun. They are not even homicides. You are not operating on all cylinders

    This assertion is illogical and not proved out by observation of the world around us: in every country with strict gun control and less guns in circulation: More Guns = More Crime, More Guns = More Death. Control works. It is working in every country where it is implemented.

    Oh the hysteria of it all. Colt started selling the AR-15 in 1964. The AK-47 has been in production since 1949. Columbine was the first really orchestrated school shooting on April 20, 1999. That's 35 years between introduction of the AR-15 and Columbine and 50 years since the introduction of the AK-47.

    Fasinating how for 35 years there were no mass school shootings with either the AR-15 or AK-47, but as realistic first person shooter computer games advanced realistically in conjunction with reckless perscribing of psycotropic drugs to teens and the school mass shootings started. If people are serious about stopping the tide of disturbed teens buying or stealing a AR-15 and shooting up a school like a first person shooter game, then those games should be banned for sale and possession. Add to that removing a psychaiatrists ability to perscribe psycotropic drugs without the OK of a real physician. Blaming the gun is like a miner finding fool's gold.

    I was quoting the stats on people being attacked with knives NOT GUNS. You really should read posts before responding, I just ruins you credibility.

    And yet all the other societies have the same video games, the same drugs and not the same school shootings or same murder rate.

    @knives, what is the total murder rate in American cities the same size as London?
    What is the total number of school massacres in the UK vs America. (UK is 1/6th the population so lets divide America's total by 6).

    Lets see.
    School massacres, UK has had one. Resulting in a ban of handguns and automatic rifles, (the weapons used).

    Murder rate, UK national murder rate, the whole 65 million people is about equal to Chicago's alone.
    London's murder rate is 1/4 of New York's. London's is at a record high, New Yorks at a record low.
    There were 80 fatal stabbings in London in 2017 and 335 fatal shootings in New York in 2017. New York of course also had it's own fatal stabbings.

    So are Americans genetically psychotic or is there another problem here?
    Answer: America has **** gun control. (the genetically psychotic got sent to Australia)

    They all had less crime and less gun crime before gun control. Surely you know that.

    “THE number of crimes involving handguns reached
    its highest level for seven years in 2000…
    The total was more than a third up on the previous
    year, according to figures given in a parliamentary
    written answer by Lord Bassam of Brighton, a Home
    Office minister.” Thomas Harding, “Handgun crime soars despite
    Dunblane ban,” The Telegraph, 11/01/01.

    They had less crime and less gun crime before they banned guns. Gun Free Zones are Killing Zones.

    Mass slaughters are now common in Europe and the UK.

    You have been misinformed. Gun control schemes are irrational - they always fail to reduce crime and the availability of guns.

    Here is another dose of reality:

    "Chris, a stocky but affable thirty-something South
    Londoner recently retired from a career in armed robbery,
    comes bounding back from the bar with a cheeky grin on
    his face. 'It'll be about 20 minutes,' he says. 'Less time than
    it takes to deliver a pizza and plenty of time for another
    drink. Same again?'

    We are sitting behind a busy pool table in the dingy annexe of
    a pub on the outskirts of Catford which, according to Chris, is
    one of the easiest places in the capital to buy an illegal gun. ...

    Few will be surprised that the number of illegal guns used on
    the streets of London is currently at an all-time high, with at
    least two shootings and four armed robberies every day since
    the start of the year...."
    THIS IS LONDON, By Danny Brown, 2/28/02.

    Heart wrenching story--thanks for sharing that--Being brought up in rural Wisconsin,I so know the" get back up & try again", you learn not to make the same mistakes & eliminates the sissy attitude--An example would be, when learning how to ride a bike back then, there wasn't even a thought of wearing knee pads or helmets, if, you fell, you had scabbed knee's, we all had scabbed knee's, but,boy was riding a bike fun,so you got back on & learned, kids today don't know that feeling, perhaps,if they were left to get back up on their own instead of being overly protected---just a thought---

    Gun crime "soars" after the ban.

    “THE number of crimes involving handguns reached
    its highest level for seven years in 2000…
    The total was more than a third up on the previous
    year, according to figures given in a parliamentary
    written answer by Lord Bassam of Brighton, a Home
    Office minister.” Thomas Harding, “Handgun crime soars despite
    Dunblane ban,” The Telegraph, 11/01/01.

    The gun ban failed.

    Really? Look at how much safer they are now. Any increase was temporary. Their kids are not killed while in school
