How many more massacres will be hear about especially in the States?. It is in their 2nd amendment that they have the right to carry, well it seems almost any weapon. It appears everyone and their dog has a gun and know how to use it. I heard that since the latest killings more people have applied for concealed weapons. In Australia we had a massacre in 1996 and the government acted quickly and asked people to hand over semi automatics etc. Some said this was playing into the hands of criminals who would keep theirs. My point is I could not see myself shooting anybody, so I would not want the temptation of having a gun.

In the UK it's commom for gun battles to take place on the streets and many an innocent bystander has been killed. Teenage gun battles are also commomplace and they see killing as a badge on honour. I don't think for one moment that we will ever see an end to this.There are too many guns out there and any headbanger who wants to, can get his hands on one. There are always people prepared to procure and sell guns.I google because I'm not young enough to know everything.

SS, why do you care about the gun laws in the US? (I know that sounds rude - I don't mean it to be - I'm just curious) I hear this whenever there's a shooting here. "The Yanks think it's the wild west" blah blah blah "Why don't they crack down"... People who live by the law actually have to fill out a lot of paper work and get finger printed in most states to own a gun. There are 300 million people in this country. One mass murder is too many - however, considering how many truly pissed off people live here I'm surprised there aren't more. I do not like guns. They terrify me - however I would never agree with taking guns away from people who can purchase them legally. For every arsehole, there are hundreds who act responsibly. And yes, the criminals will always find a way. If it's not guns, it's pertrol bombs, or knives, or IEDs... Where there is a will, sadly there is a way.

Most of the criminals,or probably all the criminals that have
guns in this country get their guns after getting involved in
crime and as people say there is no problem getting a gun if you
are involved in crime.the difference with your man in america
is he was not a criminal and would probably not be a criminal
now if he could not buy a gun so easily.

I agree with Eileen , easy to point the finger when you don't live there. Personally I hate guns, although both of my Sons own some, to protect their family they say. I have never felt unsafe in this country in all the yeas I have lived here, even though I now live alone and I'm 67 yrs old. But if I ever did feel that way I like to think I could be as armed as anyone who broke into my home!
