This actually brought a tear to my eye. All those poor children. I was enraged to hear that school actually practise a mass shooting drill like we practice a fire drill….. how on earth can NRA defend this YET again. Although I did hear one say it’s because they all have guns that he was stopped quick….
Yet another mass shooting in the USA

Insanity.
Absolute horrific insanity.
And absolutely horrific that they won't do anything about it.

He must have assumed he would end up dead, why couldn’t he do the decent thing and just killed himself first?

While many rave about the USA I really have no desire to go visit this gun ship country. While folk are legally able to arm themselves this type of horrific crime will continue I guess. Horrendous.
Yep , Biden wants to but in to NI issues , yet can't sort his own house .

we had a member on here, I can’t recall his user name, who said he was desperate to leave the USA due to the amount of guns

Your hole. The Dems have been pushing for background checks on weapons for decades, the overwhelming majority of Americans on both sides of the political divide are also for it but are being blocked by Republican senators.

Depends on the state.
Wellytrack is right - around 95% of voters polled state they want better checks and some restrictions on buying weapons, but 50 politicians (mostly Republican iirc) have been blocking the legislation for years.

How awful. Have you actually looked at what the checks are and how they are made up? Did you know that the NRA and most Republican’s insist refusing a weapon because of mental health issues would discriminate unfairly towards them?
I'm not sure that making buying a gun harder would make a huge difference the problem is the huge numbers already in circulation.
In 2012 we were in the states when they had a mass school shooting, there was a piece on the news from a gun shop, it was the size of your average B&Q here and they said sales always go up after these shootings as people buy guns to defend themselves.
I gave up my licence here a few years ago but if I lived in the states I would definitely have a gun to protect myself and family

It's the same logic as carrying a knife in an inner city, the main difference is that guns are big business in the US, but then again so are prisons.
