They’re wetting their knickers over here in anticipation that there may be talks to raise the legal age of buying an AK-47 from 18 to 21. My life!! I suppose at least they’re not letting it totally die a death as they usually do. But, as I said, my life!!
But with no guns, for example in the UK, the bloke would have shouted 'oi, wankers!' and been told to fuck off. Nobody dies.
Of course there will be genuine examples though where guns have saved lives. Which the gun lobby will use to state their case. It is just far more lives are lost due to America's gun laws and you don't need stats but common sense to see that.

It's a f##ked country. One of my friends landed the job of HR Director for a large global financial institution and it meant him moving his family (wife and 2 kids) out there. They lived in a really nice house in a really nice area just outside NY. Shortly after making the move he went out for a jog in the evening, one of his neighbours (he was being nice) advised him not to go as if the police see a black guy running they are likely to shoot him. Coupled with the fact that he didnt like the fact that all the students qat his kids school went through metal detectors on their way into school. He lasted just over a year, resigned and moved back here. Totally mental society
It's like the f*****g wild west out there. How long before the yanks are encouraged to carry firearms with them at all times to fire back at the nut jobs who's start these mass shootings?
I have t seen the news yet, but my wife informs me there's been another college shooting, 13 dead?
Why, why, why ,and when will this country learn, I know it's in their constitution, but can't they change it? This is insane.
What exactly iS "in their constitution"? The right to go and shoot a dozen school children? I dont think that IS in the constitution. The right to bear arms and defend oneself and ones family IS in the Constitution..And thank God for that! When the Antifa rioters come to YOUR town and smash everything up, destroy and loot and break down your door and threaten your family what are you going to do ~ tickle them to death?!
Had a very strange experience on Saturday afternoon on the New York Subway. In a fairly crowded car on the way back from the 9/11 Memorial; train just pulling into a station, shouts from the far end of the car about someone having a gun, everyone piled up out end and the doors opened. Everyone piling out onto the platform, kids & girls getting knocked over, up some steps and onto the street. No shots heard, no sirens and people milling about at street level not knowing WTF just happened.
Very strange experience and not great to see the way people can panic and just lose control, climbing over kids and women just to get out. There were probably about 80 people involved and I guess sensitivities were probably heightened given that most people had probably been to the memorial. They weren't all tourists though.
We walked a couple of blocks down to the next station and caught another train on the same line (definitely a different train to the one we'd got...different driver). I spoke to the station master and he hadn't even heard of the incident. Does make you wonder whether that sort of craziness just happens all the time over there.

Death toll currently six but could (probably will) raise.
So let's just say it's on Independence Day & it's in their constitution that they can bare arms. What do you expect.

think and pray harder guys!
Innocent people gunned down again and yet once more absolutely nothing will be done.
Growing up I loved America and was fascinated by its history but I have absolutely no interest in going there ever again.
imagine the Republicans will jump on the chance to blame rap music rather than the massive gun problem they have in the country.
Has/had a video up on youtube depicting a music video in which he shoots up a school. another song titled 'I am the storm'.
Snowflakes.
