Go on, tell us.



Who knows until you tell us the country?

However, I know that these figures tell a story:

Gun crime statistics by US state: download the data. Visualised | World news | guardian.co.uk


Murders with firearms statistics - countries compared - NationMaster

Proud of your numbers?
So the UK has what appears to be a total ban on guns and you still have gun violence? Nice spin attempt. You can thank the plethora of gangs in the US for most of the gun violence.

I know many families plus my own who are very law abiding gun owning people. Hey no matter how anyone chooses to cut it, criminals will always get their hands on guns.

Because of the actions of someone hell bent on killing himself and others, has nothing to do with responsbile gun owernship. People hell bent on killing others and themselves for what ever the reasons, are going to succeed no matter if they have guns or not, they will find a way.

What about the case months ago, where this man stabbed a slew of people to death, before taking his own life with a gun, someone out to take the life of others plus take their own life, will find a way.

No way should law abiding gun owners, have to give up their rights, because the actions of those who are hell bent intent on killing themselves and others. When you have those intent thoughts in your head, and for what ever the reason is you have to kill others, this has been done with guns knives, poisons etc. They will kill you anyway they can.

1. Rampage shootings in America are merely par for American society. Haven't you noticed that? Incidents with less than 10 victims seldom get front page coverage.
America is a sick society.
2. 'total disregard'? Can someone have a 50% disregard? Or a slight disregard?
3. But yes, in America there is a disregard for life, in more ways than you would care to know.
