Ibrahim Tall Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 He has been briefed seemingly, but not a peep from him. Usually quick enough when it's a terrorist attack somewhere else, but a horrendous mass shooting in the US and not a word. Even Theresa May has condemned the attack, now that's really bad when other World leaders condemn the attack before the POTUS does in his own Country. He'll ignore it until he's forced to comment like he was after the Virginia situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyBatistuta Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I can not see any justifiable reason why an ordinary member of the public needs to own an automatic assault rifle. America needs to seriously look at itself when you have, on an increasingly regular basis the 'bad guys' having bigger weapons then your beat cops have, or indeed many patrol cars have as well. Had an argument with an American guy who was an online friend of mine on the PS4 about this. He was rattling off a list of weapons he had, including assault rifles. All he kept replying with was "it's my right, it's my right". I even tried saying to him that if you feel the desperate need to defend yourself, then why not just have a handgun, but was wasting my time. He came across as if he thought he was cool by owning them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_hmfc Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I just heard one woman saying she was so scared and she wished she'd brought her gun with her. My sympathies to those who have lost someone but I have none for that country as a whole. They bring it on themselves Absolutely . They've had enough chances after enough incidents but nothing has changed. No-one can blame Trump for inaction here (and I'm not blaming you) as clearly no Democrat has done enough to rid them of this cancer previously. Mass shooting in the UK & Australia, what do we do, we and the Aussies ban guns and now there is very few mass shootings in either Country. Mass shooting in America, what do they do? Some call for more guns to combat the bad guys. There are not enough face palms for that statement. Another It's crazy, "criminals will always have guns, so let's put more guns out there.".

Cade Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Not sure if having dozens of civilians randomly firing hundreds of bullets "in self defence" at a shooting scene would make things safer. How many of those "good guys with guns" would then be mistaken for a bad guy and shot at by other "good guys with guns"? NRA logic is totally barmy.

Anyone killed while going about their business deserves sympathy, whether that be Vegas, Paris, or Basra. I lived in the USA during the time of the Paris attacks and so many people genuinely seemed to find it hilarious, as if Europe as a whole deserves it. 137+ killed in Paris but they felt the French "deserved it" for being sympathetic and letting in so many refugees. That and (ironically) they used it as something of a playing card of "Oh well it's the French peoples fault 'cos if they'd had guns then well... y'know?". Every attack they bring out the "If the citizens had guns they'd had survived but they didn't so oh well.", even the Manchester Arena bombing ffs.

So not the people who, as I've said, use the European attacks as something of a playing card to justify their own usage of guns? Not the people who use these incidents while trying to 1-up in an arguement? Not the people who insist Europe "deserved" it's attacks for trying to be sympathetic to refugees? They've had these gun massacres for decades now and they've not done anything about it at all. Even to the softest and most sympathetic person their patience and sympathy would be tested. They just won't learn, and now so many of them are using European attacks to justify regular citizens having shotguns ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Leaf Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 This is being heralded as the "Deadliest Mass Shooting in US History". When was the previous deadliest mass shooting, you might ask?

Jamboelite Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Reports saying 8 rifles found in the room and mixed reports on whether the police killed him or he killed himself. Some of the witness accounts are harrowing with friends and partners falling down around them having been hit. America has to decide if this is the price they want to pay for the right to own guns(particularly AR's) and arguably the answer has been given many times that they are willing to accept this despite the immediate aftermath of these and similar events. I fear the death and injured toll to risk considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
