Stuff like this really makes you think. Would you use a gun if you had the chance? Someone cuts you off in traffic, a work colleague gets under your skin, a family member (probs a teen) really ■■■■■■ you off with their confrontationist attitude. Of course you're going to say no. People just don't think of the consequences when they're pushed. A quick and easy resolution. This woman made that choice. Did she regret it? Obviously. That's why she wouldn't drop the gun when asked. Sad in so many ways.
I might consider it if certain…ummm…people who write pass by in front of me, but otherwise, no, I have never considered violence a good way to resolve issues.
Seriously, just ban the ammo.
Problem solved

They should stop the distribution of the elements/materials that make the weapons.
You mean like steel, brass, zinc, copper, charcoal, lead and timber?
So it has now been revealed that the woman had major mental health issues that everyone knew about and that she and the husband always fought. So she asked him to say sorry for something he said but he wouldn’t, so she called a family meeting, pulled out a gun and started shooting. Then after the daughters ran for their lives while badly injured she chased after them and fired more rounds into them. She then went back inside and reloaded and came back out to start shooting them again because they weren’t quite dead and that’s when the police shot her.
So again I ask the question, how does a person who has diagnosed mental health issues manage to have a license to carry lethal weapons?
Some people would say that, excepting farmers and professional shooters, wanting and owning 10 guns is ipso facto a sign of mental illness.
Some would. They’d have no idea though.

This is a country that steadfastly refuses to set up a functioning, broad base public health service (apparently because its some sort of nefarious Socialist subterfuge!!??) for its citizens. Im not sure mental health in general, let alone tying mental health to a weapons ownership data base, is high on their agenda. But it ■■■■■■ well should be!
(Fwiw, It should be here, too, imo)

Need to be 16 to drive, 21 to drink but anyone can buy a gun.
What a sad sad country that for some reason we look up to
After being there last week I am glad to be back. Just feel on edge being there, speaking to the locals gives you the feeling no one actually enjoys living under the constant fear of practically everything that may or may not happen.

Yeah, I know what you mean. IHave you tried living in The Saga Thread for any of the past 4-years - it’s even worse.

You can always put the forum on “hide”. Not sure the yanks can do that

What the Yanks can do is read a book by Charles Darwin and learn about survival of the smartest.
Constantly living in fear of what may or may not happen and calling yourself The Land of the Brave is setting yourself up for ridicule.
I feel sorry for the innocents such as those at Sandy Hook but as a nation of war mongers… If they can’t care for their own, why should I.
Can anyone tell me a period of time (Google it if you must) when The USA hasn’t been involved in a conflict or out and out war?

I take the point, but the vast majority of US people I’ve met there and elsewhere are apparently good people. Many of them would like a vastly different US of A, but just how do you turn that tide?

Rhetorical question.
Are the people desiring change in the majority or are they a minority?
2nd Amendment
How any idiot believes that a document written in 1791 by god faren Christian people living in an untamed land is still relevant to todays society is beyond me.
The people of Britain just voted for huge change because they felt strongly about it. For farks sake, the Yanks can’t even convert to a metric system, how in hells name are they ever gunna vote to give up their beloved guns?

The problem isn’t the 2nd Amendment or whether it is still relevant, the problem is how they now interpret that amendment. The interpretation is all wrong and until they can fix that (which they can’t because the NRA dominates the discussion) this issue will continue ad infinitum.
Just imagine for a second the united states broke up. Which states would have the nuclear weapons? That’s a scary thought.
