Re: Mass shooting in Texas

No doubt the US response will be that everyone should have more guns. Crazy country.

Re: Mass shooting in Texas

It's very sad and it's a record year for such homicides.

I can't see a way out for the US from future mass murders unless Congress reduces its dependency on the arms trade.

Re: Mass shooting in Texas

Kids keep on dying but they don't seem to care enough by minimising the chances of it happening again.

I guess it's a way of life to them. people will just keep on shooting. and kids will just keep on dying.

Quote:
President Donald Trump, on a tour of Asia, said the gunman was "a very deranged individual" and denied that guns were to blame for the shooting.
"We have a lot of mental health problems in our country, but this isn't a guns situation," he said.

Still trying to work out why it's not a gun situation.

Re: Mass shooting in Texas

The Americans don’t see their own issues with guns and that includes Trump. He was heavily endorsed by the NRA - this is my own criticism of Trump and America’s gun laws.

They are born and grown up in to a society that has the second amendment, the same old arguments, the same old responses from those, who will never part with their guns, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” - This is sadly, their mentality.

mmm, the bullets definitely came from somewhere, if not guns, where ?

Even if the had 'mental' issues, the ready availability of weapons is mad. The defensiveness of the gun lobby/Trump already signals they know its mad.

These events are happening more regularly. They not only need to look at guns but why there an increasing number of nutters feeling the need to use them in US society.

Surely there must be an amendment that allows US citizens not to be shot ?

The US Air Force confirmed Kelley served in its ranks from 2010 and was posted to its Logistics Readiness unit at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

He was court-martialed in 2012 on charges of assaulting his wife and child, and given a bad-conduct discharge, confinement for 12 months and a reduction in rank, Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said.

Seems he was already on a spiral.

In a country with so many guns, that is academic.
