Somone needs to explain to them what the word “amendment “ means

Updating the laws and the constitution would be best. Second best would be to not update the arms. Let anyone buy and carry a flintlock musket or a sword. They can still kill and maim, but not on an industrial scale!

I think that's a capital idea. It would save thousand's of wild animals who are hunted for fun, I mean sport at the same time.

USA: a country with bizarre and odious values.

Re: Latest gun massacre USA....
The Republicans have also introduced a Bill to lift the ban on silencers!
idiots.
Surely as a starting point they should ban Semi and Fully Automatic guns, sniper rifles, large capacity Magazines and Flamethrowers (all legal in the USA) and only allow civilians small limited ammo hand guns. They'd still have their right to carry arms.

They often say it is to protect themselves against a future potential tyrannical government - one that has drones, robots, guns bigger than your house and can see and hear everything you do and say. They might as well have a potato gun.

Re: Latest gun massacre USA....
The red necks and the gun lobby in the US continually pedal the ludicrous excuse that, if people carry guns they can protect themselves against attacks!!
The right to own a gun so important to them that they see incidences like these almost as collateral damage.

The thing about that is when was the last time a civilian with a gun stopped one of these lunatics? It's almost always the police.

And by the time they've been stopped the damage has already been done.
It was just stated on the BBC news that four times more people were killed by guns in the US last year (30,000) than the total number of coalition deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq over 16 years of war.

Re: Latest gun massacre USA....
There was an Amy phoelr (parks and rec actress, however you spell it) speech to Harvard graduates in which she commented that they were the generation growing up after 9/11, that they had to get used to taking off their shoes at the airport....
There have been so many attacks over the past decade. We now have a fairly routine reaction in the media, online and in social/political scene and that's what a number of generations have had to grow up with. It's so sad.

Number of Americans killed on battlefields in every war in history - 1.3million
Number killed with guns on US soil since 1968 - 1.5million
Number killed by Islamic immigrants in the last 15 years - 20

For the uninitiated, what is shameful about that particular post?

Authorities have since dismissed ISIS’s claim. Like you say, looks like they’ll try to claim responsibility for everything now in an attempt to remain relevant.

Re: Latest gun massacre USA....
One man shot about 600 people. And nothing will change, it's complete madness.

The shameful thing here is that more Americans are shot by other Americans than by any external threat.

Some pathetic articles coming out really.
If jihadists had the chance they'd be carrying out crucifixions on every street.

Where in the post did you say guns should be banned?
Nowhere.
You had to bring Islamic immigrants.
They had no relevance to this tragedy.
Show some respect.

You've completely misunderstood his post. He was illustrating the fact that more Americans are killed by other Americans, yet the likes of Trump and the right wing in the US would have you believe that Islamic extremism is the biggest problem facing their society.
