Hard to believe anything like that would happen in America.

Met a guy in California last summer who hailed from Texas.

He tried to convince us to visit by telling us stories of how he liked how he could go out riding on his horse shooting shit with his gun and no one could stop him. He also relieved himself against the rear wheel of his truck.

I declined his Facebook friend request.

Thankfully dealt with very swiftly.

“Police now say a suspect has been shot and killed and there is "no active shooter at this time", but reports of other suspects are being investigated.

CNN quoted Devin Sanchez, an Odessa city spokesman, as saying one person was confirmed dead and 10 were injured, while the New York Times cited the mayor of the neighbouring city of Midland as saying "we have two fatalities".

Nope. Five dead, at least 21 injured. About average probably.

The shooter was a white male in his 30s, so how long before Trump comes out with 'he had mental issues' and then does nothing.

Got into an argument with an American yesterday about guns. I don’t know why I get involved.

He’s adamant that the reduction in crime over recent years is due to the increase in gun ownership. He thinks America has much more dangerous criminals due to the drug cartels.

I don’t get why so many of them are unwilling to countenance that untold amounts of guns are a bad thing. They aren’t idiots, but on this topic they appear to have been totally brainwashed

I used an assault rifle at work experience when I was 16. British L85A1.

Contained blanks, obviously. The power, kick, recoil was enough to scare me for life.

So far as I can tell, there wasn't a separate thread for the shooting up of a high school football game in Mobile. Alabama Friday night, probably because although there were ten injured, there were no fatalities.

So I'll just throw it in here. For completeness' sake.

Some people who are worried, justifiably, about knife violence, don't know how good they have it.
