So..three children under 12 and a teacher have just been gunned down at a primary school.

This is BARBARIC!

This is NOT hard America!

Hand in your guns! Nationwide Amnesty! No Questions Asked!

We did this in the UK in 1996 and guess what? NOT ONE MASS SHOOTING SINCE!!

This can all END!

Looks like the 16 year old who committed this atrocity used a hunting rifle, purchased by his mother. Hunting rifles are legal in the UK.

Canada has about as many guns as the US, yet mass shootings are not normal in Canasda.

Utterly false.

According to the small arms survey, Canada has 12.7 million guns, or 34.7 per 100 people.

Whereas the US has 393 million guns, which is 120 per 100 people.

But once again. If you don't have guns you don't have mass shootings.

Verifiable fact.

@Waveney That's stil 12.7 million guns. Your claim is that you must must have 0 zero guns. That's 12.7 million above 0.

And your verifiable fact? Zero guns in the UK? That is VERIFIABLY FALSE.

@Northwest I never said there were zero guns in the UK. But we got rid of the vast majority of our guns in 1996 after Dunblane, and massively tightened our gun laws.

And as I say again.

THERE HAVE BEEN NO MASS SHOOTINGS SINCE.

A school roof collapsed in Pakistan, killing dozens of kids. Someone should pay for that too.

As tragic as these events are ... who stopped the MENTALLY ILL gunman ??????

You neglected to say that it was an armed citizen ... not Law Enforcement

GUNS AREN'T THE ISSUE ... MENTAL HEALTH IS

The yanks aren’t going to thank you for wading into their affairs.

And they are not capable of reflection and change. So just let it be.

@AdmiralPrune I don't care. This is an open platform. It doesn't stop them wading in to affairs that don't technically concern them. Look at @DogMan and his hardon for the protests in France at the moment.
