Another killing, with a gun, in the US... It sounds so normal now. I like guns, but I'm up for gun abolishment now for the US, given a say, since they clearly cannot control firearms possession and there are so many gun-related incidents these past few years.
In 2016 in the USA there were 22,938 Suicides (Gun used) 14,415 Murders (Gun used) of which 71 died in mass shootings a tiny percentage 0.492542
I think he is just highlighting the fact that this is front page news whilst the “normal” (single shootings) shootings and suicides by gun is an accepted norm in the states. Sad but seemingly true. Recall Trumpy criticising the UK for all it’s stabbings? Of the two evils I’d rather have stabbings than all of the out of control gun nonsense. Too trigger happy and even the police will shoot before assessing situations.
When I lived in the US, I had a very good English friend. When owning guns used to dominate the conversation, he used to ask them why they liked killing their children. You could have heard a pin drop. He used to drop little thought-bombs like that and he was far too good in conversation afterwards to be outwitted and could give them answers without them having to go to their cars for a piece.
Police arrest 24 people following 'Free Tommy' demonstration https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-24-people-following-free-tommy-demonstration Needs opposing where ever we find it Trump laughs after audience member suggests shooting migrants – video
An interesting point is that the people being aluded to are of European Caucasian stock (from Spain) or perhaps latinos are not white enough
They wasted 3 years on trying to pin Collusion with the Russians on Trump and that went pear shaped.. Now this!! Ha ha..Liberals are desperate! 2020..Trump,4 more years baby!!
Haven't researched the true number of shootings under Obama, but there are plenty more mass shootings under Trump than your attachment suggests. Unless a mass shooting needs 5 or more deaths before it's considered serious enough. Astonishing the amount of incidents with just a couple of victims in the body count that don't register in the news. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2019?wprov=sfla1 I've long come to the conclusion that Americans are so obsessed by their macho guns that they view a few dozen dead school kids every year as an acceptable loss. Maybe over the course of a year it's between 50-100 who get shot up at school? We accept a certain number of deaths will occur every year due to our cars but the benefit to society outweighs the deaths. Same applies to Americans and guns. I just say Thank Christ that the yobs in London can't buy guns in Argos. Give me a knife crime epidemic any day of the week.
