Only a ban will work.

Somebody kills a lot less people if they don't have guns. There is no debating that it's physics.
But if they ban guns in America, I know they never will because...
it's really big business (1)
"It's in the constitution, so you cant stop me buying guns with my shopping" (2)
They don't really put kids lives or any other lives before option 1 & 2 (3)
But just say they did, how on earth can they possibly get all the guns handed in?
Like have a gun amnesty.
Look how effective our Knife Amnesty was in the UK, a complete waste of time, so if they banned the sale of all guns today, there's still millions and millions of them circulating in the hands of lots of disturbed people.
And you'll never get them out of circulation.
 
I read someone describing the solution as Swiss cheese. There isnt a single option which fixes everything, but layers that have holes in. Each time a layer is applied the holes get less and less.

We did a gun amnesty after Dunblane which worked remarkably well.

And even if most are not given up, eventually they'll be seized/break etc. If there's none for sale, then they won't be replaced, and within a couple of decades you're basically gun free in society. Granted, when you average a mass shooting every day or so, a couple of decades isn't ideal, but with checkless retail sales available right now, there will always be more guns available tomorrow than there are today. That, at least, should change.

It won't though obviously, ever change. Because not enough people over there give a shit about children once they're born

How bad is it that my first thought was "oh thank God, not another one here".

Not bad at all, when it came up on the bbc I thought America at it again
 
Just looking for something and saw this...

  • The Gun Violence Archive has counted at least 314 mass shootings in the US so far in 2022.
  • More than 22,000 people have died due to gun violence overall in 2022, according to the Archive.

Now given that the definition of a 'mass shooting is 4 or more, that makes at each one there are 70 fatalities, which isn't the case obviously, but it does show how many individual people lost their lives to a bullet. if you divide the 270 days this far into 2022, into 22,000 that makes on average 81 people die every day from a gun. EVERY DAY! Jesus! 81 today, another 81 tomorrow, another 81 the next day and so on.... Absolutely stunning they don't do something.
 
Former Police officer carries out a mass shooting at a nursery in Thailand killing many children before killing his own wife and kids and finally himself, absolutely tragic and yet another cunt who should have shot himself first
 
The shooter in Raleigh is fifteen years old. Christ.
 
The USA is pretty much broken as a first world country and is ruled by fear, religion and a lack of education.

They just keep going backwards in recent years too with the likes of President Trump and reversing Roe v Wade.
 
3 killed, 7 injured at a school shooting in St. Louis , 19yo old former pupil was the gunman.
 
Seven dead in a Walmart shooting in Chesapeake Virginia, shooter was the store manager, killed 6 then himself, one way to sort out the idiot public I suppose

The 31st mass shooting in the United States this month.
 
I’ve half-accepted that this is the way I’ll get got.
 
And nobody mentioned the gay bar shooting a couple of days ago, 5 dead in that I think.
 
The stuff from the murderers Dad is incredible.

On learning his son was at the bar but was the killer his reaction was essentially "phew, thought he was gay, that's a relief he isn't"
He probably never even stopped to think whether his attitude may have shaped his son's behaviour

I watched that on twitter and the guy looks like he's on crystal meth.
