My absolute pleasure.
Your country is very keen to take arms off the Koreans, Syrians and Iraqis. But God forbid, you take arms away from your own people. How would you be able to shoot up all your schools?
Your minimising of the murder of kids throughout your country shames a once great nation. Your country has turned evil in the pursuit of corporate profit.
I’m against the right to bear arms but your post is embarrassing.
Your hatred of the US, a great country, is just sad.
CNN/MSNBC have decided they don’t want to give the killer any coverage. If true this info proves it was a terroist attack. That tag is only reserved for nine white gunmen apparently.AP reporting that the leader of a white nationalist militia says the suspect was a member and participated in paramilitary drills with them.
Haven’t seen any other confirmation of this yet.
Bullshit, my gran walked past one at midday once. Struggled with depth perception ever since.The 'cuckoos' tend to be kept in the clocks in Switzerland too!
Big thoughts beat small thoughtsThese crimes are perpetrated by individuals with particular mental disorders that if not treated probably often lead to them doing the things that the free press want to and feel duty bound to report to the rest of the world.
No doubt the ease to which guns can be purchased makes it easier for these crimes that involve multiple fatalities in a single incident more likely than otherwise to occur.
There is no solution or way to minimise occurrences if politicians , law makers , and all other stakeholders are unable to do what is required.
Switzerland has one of the largest gun per person ratios of any country in the world and although it has very high crime rates involving guns doesn't have many mass shootings per year compared to the USA.
I think the US should study why a country who has not participated in an armed conflict since 1847 is able to resist by and large the need for individuals to wish to carry out mass shootings.
It starts with their mental health system which is far more progressive and efficient than the USA.
Its only part of the solution of course but the politicians in the US are very divided on many issues and their constitution doesn't lend itself to addressing violence on a massive scale.
The cynics would say and with some justification the politicians in the USA are less intelligent than most of their counterparts and until they get more intelligent ones in office that can do something constructive the mass shootings will continue unabated.
Following a school shooting, the White House reportedly refused requests to release a photo of President Trump signing a bill overturning an Obama-era regulation restricting certain people from buying guns.
CBS News reported Thursday that it asked the White House to release a photo of Trump signing H. J. Res. 40, legislation that the Republican Congress passed just over a month after he took office.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders reportedly responded to CBS News in April after a dozen requests for the photo, saying, “We don't plan to release the picture at this time."
