Just pointing out the absurdity of what people are saying.

Re: Another mass shooting
IMO, there is an underground civil war going on in Merica at the moment, I understand that its their 2nd amendment right but don't think i could ever want, or agree with it, mass shootings/killings have not suddenly become a norm in the land of the FREE!, but i cannot remember mass shootings politicised in the way that they are currently, there was also an incident in Chicago which hasn't received as much attention, prolly because only 7 got injured, but it was a multiple incident. I note this morning that Cloudfire have pulled their hosting for 8chan, but another hosting Co. will take it on, if there is a buck to be made!!!. It's a sick world at the moment and we end up arguing on here who is the sickest, if a human wants it that bad enough they will find a way, Thomas Hamilton and Michael Ryan managed to pull it off in a country with relatively strict gun ownership laws, I do think that our strict gun laws have contributed to the UK having a low incident count, that low, i could remember these two names without having to bing. Knife crime? now that's a different story.

I'm guessing that you wouldn't personally know an smp from a banjo, but low tech often beats high tech in the real world.
- you also assume that U.S Forces would kill their own people on the say so of foreigners.
On the say so of foreigners? Which part of tyrannical government is hard to understand?

You come across as an odd chap fair play .
This thread is littered with some of the oddest characters on this board.
I think if you stood many of them in a room and gave me a sticker with their board name on it I’d get the majority of the odd people correct.... obviously some may get more than one sticker placed on them 😂😂😂😂

Oh ,these matters are all quite complicated and hard to understand. That's why it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to try and tackle them .
A tyrannical government may or may not be operating under Foriegn influence . In the days of Trenton they were and in my opinion and that of many well informed people , the current threat comes largely from abroad in the form of politicians who's allegiance is not to the USA or the USC, and who could conceivably form a government .
By the way, I think it's probably unlikely that you'll come up with anything that's hard for me to understand and I wouldn't ordinarily point that out but like some of your little gang you seem to be trying to occupy the intellectual high ground , and that's frankly preposterous.

Considering you can't use punctuation correctly, I'd stop giving it the whole I'm better than you schtick. It doesn't suit you.

He also thought that European leaders were communist. And who was out Prime Minister at the time? Margaret Thatcher. To think that such people have access to guns is truly frightening.
I don't know if it's still the case now, as I haven't been there for at least 15 years, but I used to find most Americans were very insular/parochial in their attitude, with very few having travelled outside the USA. Hence plenty of scope for some pretty wacky ideas about foreign governments/foreigners. The exceptions were the people I used to meet on business trips who were working for the same multinational pharma company as me - they had a much more informed global outlook.
Most "ordinary" Americans who we met on our holiday travels were very polite and helpful, a strange paradox really. We had three very long road trip-type holidays over there so we were frequently well away from the usual touristy places. Most people had no idea where Wales was, if indeed they had heard of it at all!

If you're going to say how much better you are than everyone else and how your understanding is so vastly superior to everyone else, then perhaps you could actually demonstrate it by using correct spelling and grammar? Instead you serve up absolute drivel and derail every thread.

All quite right. Thing is that even if we think strict gun laws would achieve anything in terms of reducing gun crime, ( which I don't think it would in a huge country with so many guns already out there), is that a price worth paying ?
Personally I'd say it's not, and I don't think that some of the people here can understand that lots and lots of Americans would strongly agree with me on that.
It's a very very different country to the UK now, and the gap is getting wider all the time. These people tend to believe in God, distrust politicians and the state, and will fiercely defend their own right to decide what they say and whether they want to own a gun. That's very at odds with the way we carry on these days and the somewhat docile and subservient stance our own youngsters have.
I don't think they can imagine why anyone doesn't want the state, or them , to step in and protect them from themselves.
I think that's very sad because we used to have a great country which produced dynamic individuals, but it's probably gone too far now and there's not much point in denying it.

It'll be a real Clash of the Titans if and when he and Wales Bales ever disagree on something.
