    Not sure if this has any relevance to the gun ownership question - pretty certain the gangs who were shooting at each other had illegal weapons.

    Illegal weapons are surprisingly easy to get when there's over 300m of them in a country.

    I'm saddened by this killing!!!! I can only imagine the pain Tyson and his daughter's mother must be going through. Why couldn't it have been Trump, instead?

    I didn't mean to press like but the numbers you have quoted amount to one per person.

    Yep. There's actually over 300m guns in circulation in America.

    Where did I say that was ok? My daughter's weren't out at 4 am at 15 years old and yes it's tragic. Being involved in a culture where guns is normal is tragic. It's all very sad and I hope lessons are learned.

    I know you didn't say that. I wasn't meaning to accuse you. However, there seems to be an undertone on here that he should receive less sympathy because he cheated. Two separate issues really.

    Agreed. I was on about them as two separate issues. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Seems to have lost that killer edge since completing the Grand Slam in Paris. as Djokovic himself said it is difficult to maintain that intensity year on year. I don't think Murray has played with the same intensity as Djokovic over the years, so I believe he still has more in the tank than Djoko.

    The implication was that the girl was out at abnormal times and was therefore running the risk of being shot. Of course she shouldn't have been out at that hour at her age. But I look upon it that, for such and apparently advanced country, the USA ought to be able to demonstrate to the World how safe and civilised it is. Instead of which, it is regularly barbaric, and deadly.

    Plus, not sure about anyone else, but at 15 if I could have somehow blagged a night out at 5am I certainly would have! We don't know the circumstances, and that part of it bears no relevance to it's horror.

    Certainly a 15 year old girl should not be out on her own at 4 am...anywhere in the wide world.
    I would suggest though that any girl of that age if she felt determined enough and resourceful enough. It could happen, certainly was on the cards a few times with my girls, except for their dads resilience.
    Convincing young ladies of the dangers and stupidness of such behaviour was not the easiest.
    Now both had to go through their own night mares with their own children, thankfully successfully.
    I feel for the family......I cannot imagine what would it be like to lose a child simply because of an era of judgement, or at all come to that, era or no.

    Where a teenager is can often be very different from where you think they are. Very sad.

    Kyrgios has been suspended by the ATP until January and it is recommended that he sees a sports psychologist.

    Police have said Ben Needham "most likely" died in an accident near to where he disappeared in 1991. Terrible to have spent so much of your life looking and hoping and then for it to have ended this way.

    Could all have been avoided if reported at the time. Tragic, but the family wouldn't have wondered for so long if their child was out there needing them. Wickedness.

    If every racist redneck and facist cop is carrying a gun legally, you may be left with no choice but to carry one illegally.
