    Very sad but it happens all too often in the USA. Madmen all over the place.

    As for gun controls ? It may have a chance in some states but not overall.

    I'm amazed the people don't demonstrate against the guns..unless of course they feel safer with them.
    A crazy situation pal

    I knew a guy at my old job who started a business where he takes people into wilderness areas looking for Sasquatch. He has all the equipment that you see on the tv shows. He doesn't claim to have ever seen one. it actually sounded like a fun time basically a cool weekend hike where you pretend that you think there are such things as Sasquatch's and then look for them.

    Well, a protest wouldn't do anything. The right to have them is in the constitution so there is no getting rid of them. Some restrictions are possible but it's a political death sentence to propose any strict restrictions and anything that would be effective would of course be a violation of the 2nd amendment, well how it's interpreted anyway.

    It's in the constitution because of you all of course.

    Piers Morgan suffered big time when he was in favour of gun control.

    I assume that is why his Larry King style show got cancelled. Morgan lost the Americans he had on board.

    He did. He was pissing people off all the time and that was just the last nail in the coffin. It was the way in which he did it. We don't need to be talked down to or lectured about it. Everyone here is perfectly aware of what gun violence is, our form of government doesn't allow the issue to be fixed. Morgan didn't seem to understand that.

    Ah you wouldn't be scared to live here. Lots of people on this forum have been here. I assume some have driven through some of the tougher neighborhoods to. They probably weren't scared. You have a far greater likelihood of being killed in a car crash and I doubt you are scared to get in a car. It just sounds scary because you haven't been around it. Like if you told someone from the rainforest about cars and how many people die in them who had never seen a car. They would also probably think it sounded scary to. It's just perspective is all.

    I read that Piers Morgan suffered, and thought it doesn't get better from there.

    I don't really get the "it's in US Constitution so can't be changed" thing. Unless I've misunderstood what 'amendment' means.

    It's an amendment (2nd one). We just say the constitution as opposed to saying its in the bill of rights (the first 10 amendments). It would be weird to say it's in the Ammendments. The Ammendments are part of the constitution in reallity anyway. It would be like saying a Post Script wasn't part of a letter, it's part of the letter it's just not the body of the letter.

    It can't be changed because of the difficulty involved in the process.

    I suppose you could just shoot one of it's knees out to incapacitate it just in case it was somebody in a gorilla suit, Bubbles here wasn't going to take any chances:

    Is it still lawful to kill a Scotsman carrying a bow and arrow within the city walls in York?

    So long as you're dressed as a swan. Or something like that.

    It's compulsory. I believe there's some latitude on the definition of 'Scotsman' too.

    It's lawful to kill a Welshman, with a bow and arrow, after midnight, in Chester.

    The reason it never happens is that no one can stay awake in Chester until midnight.


    The good people of Berwick on Tweed are still at war with Russia, as they have been since the Crimean War, so I guess it's OK to kill a Russian within the town walls.


    Other than that the killing of foreign nationals within the walled cites of Britain is generally not encouraged.
