    The appalling thing about this is that Americans seem to think that despite things like this happening all the time they still think its their right to have a gun. It certainly is a ****ed up society over there.

    Why anyone would want to own an assault rifle is beyond me?

    Its never going to change though. Guns are just too common over there now.

      Primary school principals should have them according to this chap.

      A Republican Congressman said that elementary school principals should be armed and have access to assault rifles in order to kill potential shooters.

      I'm just glad the geriatric nutcase headmaster at my prep school didn't have an assault rifle.

        'Overly sentimental response' FFS. Is this guy real?

        America is going to be like the world in Mad Max the way their going......

        I've got a feeling the world is going to be looking at America and saying - you bunch of thick, stupid ****ers!

              Oh yes, that was Charlton Heston; I always hoped someone would turn up and shoot him just as he said it.

                TBH that's what I was hoping every single time I saw that clip on TV.

                  His acting was soo bad I wanted to shoot the screen in the cinema.

                    Most people round here have a gun of some sort, including me. I shoot rabbits and pigeons, and foxes if they're dumb enough to come by. Haven't heard of anyone going postal in rural Zomerset.

                    It's not guns, or gun control, it's, imo, a lot to do with education.
                    If you had a choice:

                    1) You can keep your gun, but everyone else who fancies one can have one too

                    or

                    2) Guns are illegal, no-one can have one


                    which would you go for?

                      When was the last time Switzerland got invaded?
                      Zeity, robotic technology in the military is number 1 spening these days. They better keep current on that or else someone may come one day and say take that democracy bitch.

                      Actually the point about swiss illustrates that the problem is social and not guns per se. Most biological computers however have no such software.
