I am not a member of the NRA However you have a policeman with a firearm and a criminal with a firearm.  Why would you run to one for assistance and run from the other one if it was not for the difference in the character of the two not the fact that both had a firearm. 

Make sure neither has a gun....problem solved.

 

UK police are very much against being armed......they see it as a signal to criminals.......yep, get yourself armed too......and it just escalates from there.

Yes pointing to the implement, whether that is a gun, knife,  a bomb, etc.  used to cause death as the culprit is the most stupid comment made this year. 

 

Denying the implement used here isn't the cause of mass shootings is the most stupid comment made this year.

Damn it, wherrrre's ma gurn! Americans killing Americans IS a joke! A sad joke that's gone on for far too long! But hey, up to them! I don't really care!

I'm born an American, but I have been forced to conclude that there is something fundamentally wrong with us.

 

Every day I find more reasons to believe that. Mass shootings are what makes us 'exceptional'. We argue that the answer to too much gun violence is more guns, which is like saying the answer to alcoholism is more gin. We have an uncomfortable percentage of people who grasp as silly conspiracies, so much so that some combine two faults into one and stormed the capitol like Visigoths pillaging Rome. Yesterday we had one of 45's former 'election fraud legal team' stating in defense of a $1.3 billion lawsuit filed against her that "no reasonable person would have taken my statements (about voter fraud, Dominion machines, Hugo Chavez, stolen election) seriously. In other words, "I lied", yet upwards of 80% of (R)s believe in a 'stolen election' and thus used that belief in their storming of the Capitol. We still have people, some dying in a hospital bed of Covid, claiming it's a 'hoax' or 'just the flu' (flu has killed 360,000 Americans in the last 10 years; Covid has killed 550,000 in 1 year)

 

Yes, there does seem to be something terribly wrong with Americans.

I do feel for the right-minded, sensible Americans caught up in all of this....it must be a nightmare........just like a fisherman or lorry driver or food exporter or student or expat or doctor or dentist or airline pilot caught up in Brexit.

Correct and to my point, it was the despicable character of the person not the fertilizer.  The same is true of all mass killings.  The weapon is merely an instrument.

Get rid of the guns.  Problem solved.  At least the ones typically used in mass shootings.  Easy.

That is "according to you"  First there are people who enjoy target shooting, hunting, and are in dangerous areas that need self protection.  If guns are not needed, then police should not have guns. 

Second, you are making the ridiculous assertion that somehow guns can be banned and eliminated.  It that like the ban in Thailand on owning a gun?  How about the virtual impossibility of legally owning a gun in Mexico.

Yes lets enact laws similar to Mexico.  Where it is extremely difficult to own a gun.  That will stop them. PS while you are banning guns, why don't you ban those drugs particularly Fentanyl that are so deadly.

So the 150 million people that own guns in the US have are to be punished for the actions of a few nut-sacks. Brilliant.
