Legalised guns in a massive country full of lone nutters.

You just can't understand what these people seek to gain other than some sort of badge of notoriety against their name after they're dead.

I wonder if the amount of coverage stories like this get these days has an impact of the increase in these shootings.

Probably. There's so many ****ed up people in this world, killing loads of people and having your name in the paper when you're dead is probably all they want.

Oh and 'voices in their head'

Sounds like the usual congregation at the church was about 50 people in a small sleepy town of 1,000 people.

Very sad.

Very sad.

Do most Americans really think guns are great and regulation will be over their dead bodies?

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.........is the common excuse.

So much so that the thread title could be seen as ambiguous because they happen so often.

Hard for me to say. I live in California, which has a very different gun mentality to the more southern states.

I was in Jackson, Mississippi last week, and found it very disconcerting to see pick-up trucks with gun racks (with guns) in the back window.

I'm sure they have a different opinion on the subject than us tree huggers on the West Coast.

Well to some degree that’s true. Canadians have lots of guns and don’t go around shooting each other at anywhere near the rate Americans do.

Worst thing is I think everyone is getting hardened to it now, its almost commonplace. Without sounding unsympathetic, its not our problem you can only tell a child so many times not to put their hand in the fire as it will hurt.

It’s the same for nukes. We should all have miniaturised nukes as personal protection.

MAD will also ensure all crime will be completely eradicated.

Judging by a few threads on the BBS lately, we are lucky that some BBSers dont have access to guns.
