Sadly it seems that the pro gun lobby in America is so big that neither the Republicans or the Democrats could afford to lose their votes....... so nothing seems to get done!

How the hell anyone can be allowed to own assault rifles suitable for waging a small war is beyond me

There are on average 12000 gun deaths per year in the US. Often deaths caused by minors don't get recorded in the stats..

Average month 50 women are shot to death by partners..

More people killed by US domestic gunmen since 1968 than in all wars fought by America

Just crazy. There’s far more guns in America then there is people. They will never ban guns there. Their mentality is so different. All the bad guys have guns so everyone else must have a gun...

Apparently this nutter had 23 guns with him in the hotel, and had a further 19 and explosives at his home.

Makes you wonder how he managed to get all those firearms up to his hotel room without rousing suspicion from anyone!

Broken down they'd easily fit in a couple of suitcases. Not as if you go through metal detectors at the hotel reception.

Trump has a lot of support from the gun lobby, puts him in an interesting situation.
