Too true. Idiots, really. They should just hang around in shopping malls, or cinemas, or local parks. Or failing that, just chill with their kids at school. There are so many safe zones.It's fine, remember, you've just got to know where to go to avoid gun crime. Yes, we have to rule out watching your team celebrate a title now. Still lots of fun to be had elsewhere.
That isn't the point I made, guns don't have a sell by date they can last for centuries if looked after. Again how many lives would be lost if the US government tried to take the guns away from people?
Well no US government would do that.
You work back the other way.
Restrict the sale of firearms.
Have way more tighter laws on sales.
Anyone found carrying one gets jail. Etc
They can't do that, mate. They have a piece of paper that enshrines firearms as sacrosanct. And remember, tradition supercedes everything; even morality and basic common sense.Well no US government would do that.

Yeah, I don't really get why people on here bang on about how Americans should live.Which would in turn end up with the scenario I posited, more deaths to remove or over legislate for them than mass shootings.
There really isn't a fix for then to escape this mess, all they can do is cut down on the collateral damage, people need to listen to how Americans feel about this before wading in with their dicks in their hands.
We're British, telling other countries how they should live is all we have left since we can no longer force it on them.Yeah, I don't really get why people on here bang on about how Americans should live.
Do they want to instruct all other countries on where they're going wrong as well ?
Well it's mainly because Americans keep whinging (on a UK forum) about their situation. They're like a bloke sitting at the table with four pies moaning about how fat he is, blaming anything but the four pies for his predicament.Yeah, I don't really get why people on here bang on about how Americans should live.

I don't reckon most people in the UK know much about the rest of the world, to be honest. Just America, because of their media. Hell, if Brexit showed anything, it's that most on the island of Great Britain, including the politicians know fuck all about Northern Ireland, and that's supposedly their own country. How many Brits currently know how the electoral system works in France, or who the current president/PM of Spain or Italy are? And you could blame language, but how many even know who the current leaders of Ireland or Australia are? I still have to look up how to pronounce/spell taoiseach every time, because there's so little coverage of the country that is culturally probably our closest cousin.I’ve met lots in Scotland and Ireland over the last 40 plus years mostly golfers when they visit the golf courses. 4 hours on the course and a couple of hours in the bar. Still keep in touch to this day with some. It’s probably understandable because the size of America that they now little of Europe and the rest of the world we in England and Europe have been brought up looking outwards to the world probably because we live on a small island and brought up on American film, music and books.
