There's something seriously ****ed up when you have more school kids being shot dead at school than you have members of you armed forces getting shot dead.

It’s hugely troubling to me, and we’re all groomed in “the American Way.”
I try to keep my youngest away from overly violent stuff, on TV or in the form of video games. However, at the age of 7 he can identify a bazooka, a sniper rifle, a pistol, a rocket or missile from a grenade.
We’re effectively psychologically prepared for warfare from childhood onward, and it sickens me.

We have been psychologically prepared for warfare since the beginning of mankind. Now it’s guns, not rocks.
Interestingly, we recently bought a small farm in a small town in Missouri where my eldest and his wife and kids are now living. EVERYONE owns guns, but there is no crime to speak of. Residents don’t even bother to lock up their homes or vehicles at night.
Apart from the armed guards at the schools wonderful place.
Brainwashed idiots living in one place, give them guns and you have America.

Zero tolerance - that’s comforting
Maybe it’s people who are the real problem. If you owned a gun (do you?) I would not expect you to use it indiscriminately. You would use it to protect your loved ones though…Zero tolerance - that’s comforting
This is a road I maybe should have stayed off…
I worked in various cities in America for BA In just a few weeks I witnessed a guy being shot by police in the street in Galveston, an armed robbery in LA and to top it all a few of us went to play Putt-Putt in Austin. It was shut. We found out an argument had ensued in the morning resulting in one "player" shooting one of the "players" In the group in front of him. Putt-Putt FFS.
Guns are totally safe until being held by dangerous idiots. Unfortunately this accounts for most Americans.Maybe it’s people who are the real problem. If you owned a gun (do you?) I would not expect you to use it indiscriminately. You would use it to protect your loved ones though…

Yeah but this would never happen in Bowling Green Missouri because the group in front would have all been armed aswell.
Blood bath on the 8th hole
Putt-Putt For The Fun Of It.

Ah, the standard NRA/Republican/2nd Amendmenter‘s argumentMaybe it’s people who are the real problem. If you owned a gun (do you?) I would not expect you to use it indiscriminately. You would use it to protect your loved ones though…

. ‘Guns aren’t the problem, it’s the people that use them that make them bad’Well heh, bad people get hold of guns and kill people, shoot up schools, churches and synagogues.
Find a way to stop all bad people getting hold of guns and you might have an argument for fighting to hang onto your weak gun controls but first explain to me why the fcuk a 5 year old needs to learn how to use a submachine gun!
And how do families prevent this
3-year-old boy fatally shoots his 2-year-old brother after finding gun in mom's purse, police say
A homicide task force is investigating the shooting in a home in Gary, Indiana.

(Nope - don’t own a gun )
But it doesn’t happen though.
