Yet again we wake up to the news of another U S shooting. This time another two dead,several injured,before he shot himself at a cinema.

Still, whilst their gun laws make it nearly as easy to buy them as it is for buying the weekly groceries, it's going to be very hard to stop these sorts of tragedies from occurring !

Guns are BIG business in the USA. The USA likes BIG business, so guns will stay and so-called 'gun laws' will remain unchanged!

Been happening for as long as I can remember and long before no doubt .

The right to have guns is enshrined in the constitution and will remain there .

Its an obsession with Americans .

The rootinest shootinist nation on the planet..

These incidents are very very minor in relation to the amount of weapons legally owned and used in a safe environment. We always owned guns in the USA and every friend I had also owned guns, nobody in our gun club was a mental nutter either to go shoot people.
But the small minority of shootings tarnish every single lawful American gun owner.
If cars were used as weapons to kill people, in which they are, should we ban cars?
Knife attacks in the UK are very high, should we ban all types of knives?

Where do we draw the line?

And no, most Americans are not obsessed with guns!!

There is no cure or prevention for humans killing other humans. We are still after all just another species on this Earth. We know right from wrong but it is so backwards.
If I wear a government military uniform, it is ok to murder by the thousands. If you are classed as a "terrorist" by that government and carry out the same acts, then you are evil and twisted.
Then in most cases it turns out that the "terrorists" were armed and manipulated by the likes of MI5 and CIA. Northern Ireland being prime candidate for proof in which British government were actively murdering British citizens. ISIS and others armed and trained by CIA.

Point is, humans will always murder and destroy and this cycle has gone on and on since the dawn of time. There is no black and white. Good or bad. Just human nature.
