Today's shooting in America thread

[I'm With Stupid]

"We interrupt this mass shooting to bring you news of another mass shooting."

Not quite what was said on CNN but might as well have been that.

Good chance there will be more now, if you want to make a statement you keep the deaths going.

FUCK UM! they know gun control works they are too stubborn to even try..

It definitely works fuck me imagine London now with easy access to semi automatic weapons at least you can only murder one or two at once with knives and machetes.

Unfortunately they'll never stop. Any nutter with a grudge can just go and shoot up a mall, or a school.....or a sporting event etc, etc. It's just the same old story. Until someone shoots up Capitol Hill or takes out 20 politicians it'll never stop - mind you I'm not sure that'd make a change.

Poor fuckers out shopping and didn't come home.

Can't believe the arsehole lived. He'll get to spew his bile now until he gets taken out.

I love America, going back in a few weeks. Can't wait.

BUT their gun policies are fucked. If they couldn't care enough to change them after Sandy Hook, they never will.

Utterly senseless loss of life yet again.

RIP all those that have lost their lives.

Wake the fuck up America!

Don’t worry, Trump will be spouting off in a couple weeks about our London Mayor and how he is responsible for every knife crime.

I doubt very much whether the USA is capable of removing the vast amount of weaponry from public hands or has the will to do so.

Sadly I agree.

I know loads of Americans in their 60's /70's who are the nicest people you could meet until you mention gun control -then they just go on the defense .They don't really trust their Government ,many have grown up with guns,they grew up in rural isolated areas where calling 911 wouldn't be much use. They would rationalise this latest horror, that if they had been in Walmart they would have pulled out their concealed weapon & end of problem.

So they've pulled out their weapon and are doling out justice when the police show up...What happens now? How do the police know they're the good guy w/ a gun? They don't...the police shoot them because all they see is somebody shooting people at an active shooter scene.

This is just common sense yet all of these morons w/ their murder fantasies can't seem to realize it.

BTW, there was a case where a black guy w/ a gun put a stop to a situation who did get killed by the cops when they showed up. In fairness to the cops though, they're always going to kill a black guy when they see one.

Watching Santorum argue that making guns illegal won't stop criminals from getting guns on CNN.

How is that any different than saying "We shouldn't make murder illegal because it won't stop murderers from killing people?"

They will get them, but surely it'd be more difficult. Also, and I could be wrong, but these mass shootings don't seem to be by career criminal types, so it's not like it's gangsters.

Trump, you aresewipe.
Sort this

It's the will to do so. If they had the will they'd do it. Granted it would be a difficult job, but unfortunately they don't have the will.

Maybe a referendum.........!!!!

No President has ever been able to sort it. It's not the President, it's the strength of the gun lobby.

With the NRA currently in such a sh*t state there has probably never been a better opportunity to try and get something done.

Don't know if America is just too big for a referendum, but surely if they asked the American public they'd overwhelmingly vote for some form of gun control.

Mind you, it's just another mass shooting. If they didn't do anything after a school shooting I can't see them doing anything here.

 

[buckshot]

They're saying that this is the shooter.

A lone wolf with mental health problems no doubt.
