In my country it's strictly forbidden to have guns at home. But the murders keep going on. We even had a shooting in a supermarket about 10 years back, almost the same as the wallmart shooting last weekend.
Changing the law doesn't change the way people behave, and the criminals will always find a way to get a gun somehow.
I would say, give everybody a gun to have with him or her 24 hours a day, see who then has the guts to start shooting in a crowded supermarket, a school or whatever. I think it would have saved a lot of lives in El Paso.
Lookin4missright: Ffs ... Give up the guns!!!! Or stop having children.
We can sum America up with the words don't get even, get angry. The political correctness of polite society and the warrior PR of the lepers needs to duke it out in a war between the adverts.

A lot of people have an inaccurate view of gun violence and murder in general. Many people here in the US, and other country's, simply have no concept of just how many people are in the US and have it in their heads that everybody carries guns and you can't go anywhere without fear of being gunned down. I don't believe most people here know anybody personally that has been murdered, let alone murdered with a gun. A lot of people in other country's don't have any idea how many people in their own city's that are murdered simply because it isn't reported (like it is here) nor are accurate records kept like it is in the US. Unfortunately here gun violence statistic are regularly falsified by the main stream press and other gun control groups which only compounds the problem of perception. I continually hear people site that you can still buy guns at a gun show without a background check,(gun show loophole) or that you can buy any gun you want without any waiting period or special permit. These statements are false, but ignorance abounds.
President Trump is not the arbiter of hate and has every right to defend himself and the US from the real arbiters of hate, like the lying liberal Dimocrats and their willing lapdogs in the main stream press.

Maybe you've watched too many spaghetti westerns made in spain or italy?

Only the law abiding folks would give up their guns NOT criminals. Criminals obey gun laws about as much as politicians obey their oath of office.
An armed society is a polite society. We have had guns for 200+ years.... no probs. Why all of a sudden then all these mass shootings by progressives and liberals? MK Ultra?
If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars make people drive drunk and spoons make people fat and airplanes are responsible for 9/11.
If governments REALLY wanted to save people from gun violence...they certainly wouldn't start and fund wars. Governments only care about RULING people and keeping the masses docile unless the sheeple discover what's truly going on. Never trust government. Especially socialist and communist governments. At least the capitalist system has market stabilizing corrections.
Had there been armed law abiding citizens there things wouldn't have progressed as bad. The mall was a "Gun Free Zone". Just tell the crazies... No guns here. Like their going to obey a sign.
I think its that we have taken God out of society. When I grew up I was taught if you kill... expect eternal damnation AFTER you spend life in prison. And my parents weren't even religious, its just somethings we were taught at home and in schools as youths.
yeah start placing the value of human life over an inanimate object...if only you pro gun people fought as hard for people not to be gunned down as you do for your damn guns...maybe there would be less victims.....
snowlynx: Yeah it does seem to be working well in Australia. In the USA there are about 30,000 deaths per year by gun. The Americans seem to be willing to pay this high price in order to feel safe.
