It was almost 100 years ago. Do you expect it to have more coverage than a mass murder that happened a fortnight ago?
I don't get all this meandering by gun lobbyists.
Get rid of guns, and less people die. It's simple really, to those of us in the rest of the world.
Yeah mental health is an issue. But if I'm mentally unstable, would you like me to have trouble getting my hands on a gun, or do you think I should be able to stroll into a store and arm myself?
Do you use the same "mental health" justification for terrorism, or is that different because some of those people come from others countries (even if it's multiple generations back)
Yeah because banning guns in Brazil and Venezuela did wonders for those countries right? The problem with your argument:
We could be as safe as Mexico or Honduras!
There is a much bigger picture or conspiracy to this. If you do the research this isn't about kids dying in schools, that's the tactic being used to make the citizens disarm themselves. I am British, we have no guns here by law, yet guns are still around...
Over the last decade the US government, Homeland security in particular ordered millions and millions of rounds of hollow tipped ammunition. Its sole purpose is to kill. Yet homeland security only deals with threats on its own land, so they assume that they are going to lose control of the failing, enslaving system that citizens are waking up too and hence will use shoot to kill ammo against any that revolt! They are now trying to make the citizens voluntarily disarm themselves through what they think is a good thing, leaving just the government and criminals who won't hand them in willingly...
Shitty place to be in the world right now in my opinion.
guns might still be around - but how many? When there's about 50 times as many guns per capita (just a guess), then that also means that guns are 50 times more likely to be used.
Why it is so bad for citizens to disarm themselves? Why do citizens need to be armed? armed citizens are likely to use those arms on each other, and that is what we see.
Didn't stop mass murder with guns in France, it's a gun free country. The UK and China have mass knife stabbings. So banning guns is not a solution. Do take notice, though, that most mass shootings actually happen in gun free zones AKA Target Zones.
Gun free areas are soft targets because they know they can inflict the most damage in the shortest period of time without interruption.
"Get rid of guns, and less people die. It's simple really, to those of us in the rest of the world."
The word you are looking for is simplistic and does not apply to the US. Here in America our experience is that the more guns Americans own the fewer gun homicides and fatal accidents there are.
If you are mentally unstable does that mean you are too stupid to ask a gang member for a gun? Are you too stupid to buy gasoline or rent a Home Depot truck? We already forbid the insane from legal gun ownership.
If someone is a homicidal maniac we are supposed to pretend that somehow being denied a legal gun will keep people safe from them?
Really the solution is to not let known homicidal maniacs like Nicolas Cruz walk around free.
Are the terrorists taking pharmaceutical drugs that "may cause suicidal thoughts or actions"? And having everyone report to the FBI and local police about how crazy they are?
Funny how you want to blame an inanimate object instead of the killer or the products that say right on the label they CAUSE people to kill.
We have 1.5 million gang members in the US, you want to disarm the law abiding and let the gang members keep their guns?
Get rid of Abortion and less people will die, get rid of Cars and less people will die, get rid of Knives and less people will die, get rid of Trains less people will die, get rid of people Crossing the Street less people will die, get rid of Motorcycles less people will die, get rid of Baseball Bats less people will die, get rid of all Medication less people will die from overdose, FBI reports in 2016 656 people were beaten to death with hands or feet, get rid of Hand and Feet less people will die.
You right it is simple, just ban anything that kills people and less people will die.
