    You won't stop them from getting guns no more than you can stop them from drugs or committing murder any kind of way. By taking away guns, all that's doing is disarming law abiding citizens and leaving them vulnerable.

    Forlock tuggers? Is this a British term and practice. You must be one of the Australians who love to post here.

    You people can feel free to forlock tug. Here we can genuflect to the upper classes by grabbing our crotch.

    You might travel thru Mexico and Texas to get home to Louisiana, but that isn't a logical destination for an asylum seeker.

    I think a person seems to harm a person in London, for whatever reason.

    In America, a person seems to harm multiple people with assault rifles.

    You are comparing apples to pears hear

    You are quoting overall murder rates and comparing it to mass shootings which have a different demographic

    Yeah......that's right. Let's eliminate one of the most lethal theats......weapons of mass destruction. And on that point, think about this. The USA went to War with Iraq because it (wrongly) suspected Hessein had WOMD. You (with us and some others) invaded the place. You sent the entire might of all your military machine. Yet, when there is actual proof positive of a weapon of mass destruction wreaking havoc, mayhem and mass slaugher domestically, all you do is send your thoughts and prayers. Nah.

    Some lines written today by an American who has been living in Australia for some many years now. An ex Navy Sea Bee ~ "And it must be said having grown up in the USA, as sad as it is a mass shooting is like a weather report.

    Sunny, some cloud, with a chance of automatic bullet fire raining all over the CBD in the late afternoon."

    A Twitter account bearing the suspect’s name contains liked tweets that include a “BuildTheWall” hashtag, a photo using guns to spell out “Trump,” and posts from Paul Joseph Watson, a far-right Youtuber who works with Alex Jones at InfoWars.

    That was shorthand for whatever they are ..... Mexican, Guatemalan, Salvadoran, etc..... but you knew that. Nice try at deflection when you know you're wrong, though.

    So if we do as usual after a mass shooting which is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING we are resigning ourselves to having over 30,000 per year shot to death ad infinitum.We are encouraging a war zone atmosphere for our country.

    Nah. I suspect your point was either made simultaneously with, or after my post.

    I think you're getting a bit carried away with the idea this happens every single day. It doesn't. Because when all is said and done, I still feel much safer walking into any Walmart compared to walking into parts of New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago, or Baltimore.

    Absolutely. But, those deaths just do not matter. Having a weapon of mass domestic destruction in 'your' cupboard is far more important to the ego.

    Lol battle of sourcing. Meaning I can find multiple sources with different explanations in which they all perceive differently the same facts. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/white-men-have-committed-more-mass-shootings-any-other-group-675602?amp=1

    I personally don’t care the number of people killed no matter the race or gender I don’t make excuses for any of them. I believe in life before privilege or blame. This needs to be addressed and the only common factor is guns. Never seen a story on a mass knifer that wasn’t in China, but on a lighter note 2 for me 0 for you.
