    The EiffelTower in Vegas is better than the Texas one. Still not a good enough reason to go to Vegas though.

    When I used to go regularly to Vegas, Paris was my favourite place to eat, it's one of the only places you can sit outside to eat, rather than being in an air conditioned room with no windows.

    If being able to eat outside was the only yardstick, I'd go for Paris, France every time!

    I wouldn't actually go to either just for lunch, I did once go to Spain just for lunch, but I was in Portugal at the time.

    They just arrested 3 people (and found 6 guns on them during the arrest) and have issued 17 warrants some of those being warrants for searches not all for arrests. All 3 people so far are from the same click of the SureƱos which means my neighbor was probably growing weed or cooking meth for the gang. They say they are going to arrest more people which means they probably found more weapons and drugs during the raids. Its a real serious gang if you have never herd of them, they are part of the Mexican Mafia and work with a couple of the giant Mexican Cartels.

    Pretty much just down to losing the military contract through.

    Having just spent three weeks in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Utah it seems like every man and his dog has a gun out here!

    I have to admit it's good fun shooting one at a firing range though but I'd be terrified to own one.

    A gun is like a parachute. If you need to use one and you dont have one then your not likely to need one again.

    And the 'solution' will be to give out more guns for protection.

    It's a vicious circle.

    Well that's the NRA's view on the whole situation, sadly there are a lot of sane people in the US who counter that view, but not enough, and not enough powerful ones with the money to make a difference.

    Maybe so, but in terms of supposed civilized countries, none of them happen anywhere near as frequent and as disastrous as those that happen in the US.

    Also, in most civilized places, logical solutions are attempted to combat them. In the US, they give out more guns.

    Yet America doesn't have the most houses with a gun in it murder rates in the USA aren't the highest, far from it.

    The answer to mass shootings for the state of Georgia was to introduce the HB 512 Safe Carry Protection Act which allows people to openly carry a weapons in public to defend themselves.

    This means it was legal for this guy to carry a loaded AR-15 semiautomatic rifle with an extended capacity 100 round mag into an airport - as long as he didn't try and go through security!!!!!!

    Apparently the Charleston guy's uncle gave him a gun for his birthday! And no doubt he'll express horror and dismay that it got used! What the **** are these people on!
