Today's shooting in America thread

I would like to say to all the morally outraged who would no longer consider visiting, you’ll be sorely missed

I've got colleagues travelling back through Atlanta this evening. They landed just after this happened. Fortunately they made their connection on time.

An accidental discharge would mean something entirely different in this house.

Still on my to do list mate, being shot in a riot is still preferable to being stabbed in Piccadilly gardens or bummed to death by the canal prodder in the vicinity of canal st.

'Negligently discharged" is the correct term in this case. You either safely handle a firearm or you don't.

As for your accidental discharge... ;-)

I love how the outraged are so offended by the gun laws. I lived in England until 89, every town that had a home match was held hostage for nine months of the year, it’s just lads letting steam off….
Fuck that, you want to destroy my business and home? Shoot the cunts, plain and simple

I don't think too many people are having a go at those who want to keep a gun at home for defending your castle. It's the open carry laws (and who thinks it's a great idea to take a gun to an airport?) and amount of guns out on the street (legally or otherwise) in hands that are mostly untrained that are the problem for most.

As someone once said, "Guns don't shoot people. Americans shoot people."

Or something along those lines.

Meanwhile today brings us more idiocy from across the pond.

I’ve never been to The States, and I have no intention of doing so.

So will you never go to Southend from now on seeing as an MP was murdered there a few weeks ago?

Just spent the weekend in New York. A great weekend. Was on the ferry to/ from Staten Island at 10.30pm and on the subway from 11.30 to midnight from the ferry terminal through to Queens.
Not a hint of anyone out there looking for trouble.
On my trips back home I am nervous walking through town in the afternoons never mind once it gets dark.....
