Dirty Donald is a lunatic who is apparently ignorant of the fact we lose close to 100 citizens every day of the year to gun deaths,with another 200 wounded every day.We here in the USA live in a perpetual war zone and have for many years.
- 111 mass shootings in 2018 so far with 172 death UK: none in 2018
The rest of the world has no problems seeing the correlation between available guns and gun related deaths.
In most of Europe, guns aren't available and apart from the USA and war torn 3rd world countries, mass shootings happen if ever, very rarely.
I would't WANT to live in a country where people feel the need to carry guns.
Do what the rest of the civilized world does - don't take what Trump says seriously.
I am a U.K. citizen and i don't EVER want to see guns available to anybody in my country, In the U.S.A. there is at least a murder every hour and most killings are caused by guns, The Yanks just love shooting people, guns are toys to many of them.

KNenagh.
What is the proportioned death rate per gun and per other weapons in the USA and UK.
Regardless of how people choose to kill each other anywhere, I find it odd that people in the UK don’t know how valuable the USA’s 2nd amendment is to everyone in the world and that they would lose their freedoms if people in the USA lost their 2nd amendment rights.
Yes, our 2nd amendment rights are that important to everyone.

Galrads, myself and most of the rest of the civilised world finds it odd that people in the USA can't see the correlation between masses of people owning guns andmass shootings.
It is glaringly obvious for everyone I know in Europe.
"Lose their freedoms" - if you really think that private gun ownership is necessary to keep your own government from enslaving you, maybe you should think of relocating. It is not something I'm worried about these days in Europe.
I would be a lot more worried if every idiot could go and buy a gun.
A British man was arrested Saturday after he was found walking the streets of Dunfermline, Scotland, with a potato peeler.
Scott Walker, 39, appeared before the Dunfermline Sheriff Court Monday, where he was charged under Criminal Law Act 1995 for carrying “an article which had a blade or which was sharply pointed, namely a potato peeler,” the Dunfermline Press reported.
The man faces up to four years in prison for carrying the kitchen utensil in public without good reason.
Walker’s defense solicitor said in court Monday her client “suffers from significant learning difficulties which have been lifelong.”
It is illegal in the United Kingdom to carry a knife longer than three inches in public “without good reason.” What constitutes a “good reason” to carry a knife is a decision made on a case-by-case basis by the courts.
“A court will decide if you’ve got a good reason to carry a knife or a weapon if you’re charged with carrying it illegally,” the UK government states on its website.
The arrest comes amid a nationwide rise in violent crime for the UK. More than 60 people have been murdered in stabbings in London so far in 2018, prompting Mayor Sadiq Khan to initiate a new “knife control” initiative to keep sharply pointed objects off the streets.
“No Excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife,” Khan tweeted in April. “Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law.” For years, authorities in the UK have been working to reduce knife crime by ridding the streets of pointed objects.
The Metropolitan Police launched “Operation Spectre” in 2015 to conduct weapon sweeps that seek to dispose of all manners of pointed objects, including scissors, screwdrivers and files throughout London.
The Metropolitan Police has carried out 5,791 weapon sweeps under “Operation Spectre” since 2015, resulting in 2,294 arrests and the removal of 1,435 weapons from the streets of London. The operation is ongoing.
galrads: Trump has spoken and believes the UK cotizens would be as safe as US citizens IF the UK has US gun rights.
This makes sense to me. Are the UKs police the UK’s citizens body guards and there when you need them? Time for change for the better in the UK.
What is Trump? A spoke on the wheel for the deep state, a yes man and the globalist sellout...Why would anyone take him seriously? He gave his voters nothing he promised and no money for the wall...guns in the uk would mean mass murders on a gigantic level and the globalist plan would be completed even quicker...we know how violent America is and they can't even protect children in schools, so who are they to dictate to anyone else...American is in a mess and the American people under the control of the deep state
Maybe Trump and the deep state want a contract to sell arms to the UK? They sell them to just about anybody and who created ISIS....power and greed...American politicians live by that rule
...I,ve got a lethal weapon , between my legs....can i be charged..... ....i.ll just stop indoors....just in case..... ........................................................

galrads: It may be too late for the U.K. to wake up and recover from denial about their freedoms. Sounds like they are sheeples and living in a Police state and they don’t realize it! I sure hope our (USA) young women and men never have to sacrifice themselves again for sheeples like this.
Urm we vote too
We just don't go for uncouth, lack of diplomacy, selfish animals. Who were voted into powet after bankruptcy of several business ventures and have the delusion teu will fix the countries national debt.
Of course whilst ignoring the mass shootings because pissing off the NRA is a no no in American politics. Who owns you OP?

galrads: I’m not really qualified to make this assessment but you sound like another sheeple in denial of how important our 2nd amendment rights are for the free world. However, since it seems like you live in a Police state it shouldn’t matter much anyways.
You are owned by the NRA.
The majority of the U.K don't want guns and they don't want Trump here.
