Already covered in the Gun Control thread. It will only be a Hong Kong style mobilisation of the people for things to change over there. The GOP are owned by the NRA so they will never do anything.Feels like every few days now. Wonder what it's going to take for gun control to change in the US. There has to be a tipping point eventually.
There likely won't be - they've already had children and politicians as victims, and little's changed. Just this weekend, Trump was talking of opening more mental health facilities...anything other than changing the culture of insanely profitable gun sales & political donations.Morpheus 7 said:There has to be a tipping point eventually.

Just been trotted out. Julian Castro responded by mentioning that Texas already has open gun carry and police officers were injured in the incident, presumably armed. Didn't stop the other guy driving 10 hours to El Paso either.Every time this happens, I reflect with the same sense of incredulity on the gun laws in the US and the apparent lack of ability or motive to change them.
No doubt there will be the usual demands for change, and no doubt they will be shouted down by the gun lobby. The line "the only way to stop a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun" will surely be trotted out at some point. Alas, for some good people at least, the good man once again arrived too late. When will the people in the US understand that the best option is for the bad man not to have a gun in the first place?
I used to think that it was a US problem, so nobody else's business really. The reality though is that gun manufacturers depend on the US market for their business, and if the laws there were similar to the laws here in the UK, there would be less manufacturers and less guns in existence. I wonder how many illegally held guns in the UK originated from the US.
That's what Dave Chappelle said in his last special.When all black people decide to buy a gun, they will change the law.

Same for me. I'm puzzled about the logic behind using their constitution as an excuse to keeping their guns at all costsGuns guns. Need more guns. It's the only answer after all.
Still amazes me that something written 200 years ago in the days of civil militia carries on as a birth right.
Cue the talks of Paul Blart: Mall Cops should be armed as well.
Amazing how someone can be so terrible.Just wow. NO to anything that would possibly help the situation but YES to prayers and thoughts.
