Off Topic Another 12 dead in America

I'm glad I live in the UK, rather than Wales or Scotland then.

 

So the general argument is which is the most stupid country for gun / homicide / knife crime etc, arguing statistics whilst people die...

 

And your solution is...?

 

That’s right
It is

 

Apparently it is 4.

 

Fair enough
Either way I was aware there was a relatively low figure involved in comparisons to El Paso etc

 

How many of those other country’s murders are mass killings carried out by mixed up kids & right wing maniacs walking into public places & specifically targeting children, homosexuals, Latin Americans or Afro Americans? That’s the problem the US has that needs to be sorted & is worse than any other Country. Their ignorant ideals regarding gun ownership & a psychotic President who encourages racial hatred & violence is a lethal combination.

 

Could "land" many in the soup.

 

There is no solution, there are solutions e.g. to reduce homicide (post dunblane etc) national suicide prevention strategy etc some of the knife reduction strategies on Scotland, nothing stops just reduces, arguing statistics is playing politics and I thought that was frowned on . And your solution is?

 

I've lived in two of those countries (not the USA), and I only saw one dead body that had been shot (drugs related "hit").

 

The Second Amendment was probably the most ill thought out "right" ever conceived that has never been revoked.
Lot of daft bastards voting over there (down there in my case). Took English Law to a ridiculous extreme.

 

Folk in Benin breathing a sigh of relief.

 

Afghanistan totally screwed.

 

We have a serious problem here and until we actually give real hard time to those who carry knifes it will just get worse! Anyone cought carrying a knife should get a automatic 10year spell inside. **** all this human rights of the criminal bollox. We as a society have gotten to soft from top to bottom

 

I am referring to a solution in the USA.

 

My cousin lives in New York and has never seen one dead body, shot or otherwise.

 

It was no different under the saintly Obama.

 

I'm doing this from memory:

Dunblane mid 90s, Hungerford late 80s, Cumbria 2010ish, 3 mass murders using firearms, two of which resulted in the tightening of gun laws if I remember.

Nutters with guns in the UK, that's it in my lifetime.


Political and religious terrorism aside, that's it.


Compare with one a day in the USA.


What more is there to say?

 

We had a problem
We sorted the problem
It remains largely sorted

Hammer hits head of nail

 

It was improving though due to laws in place to at least rule out some at risk people from buying guns

Trump repealed that law
