American Mass Shootings / Stabbings / Car Crashes/bridge collapses

Heā€™s proposed more in a few days than congress have in 3 decades. Ok arming teachers was off the cuff stupid, but increasing legal age to 21, better screening and banning ability to upgrade to full auto is sensible. Mental health registrar is also a must. Ffs this guy was/is batshit, threatening kids with guns, saying he was going to collect his AR-15 and come back to settle scores. His social media profile? How many clues do you need?

Whatā€™s your solution to provide short term security to American school kids mate? Try and be more realistic than nuts like Sidney.

Interestingly his ideas for gun reform match those of the NRA.

An 18th century right to bear arms might make some sense out in the wilds of Montana if it was regulated properly but is absolutely incomprehensibly stupid in the context of 21st century urban living. Itā€™s a recipe for disaster and is leading to disaster after disaster.

Actually they donā€™t, which demonstrates how much out of touch a Waterford hick isā€¦

He has called for the age limit to be increased to 21, NRA are opposed
He has called for ban on upgrades from semis to autos, NRA are opposed
He has called for increased background checks, NRA are vehemently opposed

Anything else?

Wanker. Seriously?

Youā€™re wasting your time talking to this NRA gimp Fagan

He must be living on a hair trigger over there if a remark like mine sent him into such a froth of rage.

He just loses the rag when anyone suggests he gives up his gun. Itā€™s a mental health problem sure donā€™t you know, not a gun problem.

The only solution would be a complete blanket security around schools by the police. I donā€™t see any other way. Itā€™s not practical and is hugely expensive, but whats a realistic solution? The cats already out of the bag with so many guns available and in the possession of people in the US.
There is essentially no solution, such is the corner America has painted itself into.

One of the sinister developments of the last couple of years has been the vilification of mentally ill people and the stigmatisation of mental illness. This will have the happy effect of driving mental illness further underground and disincentivizibg people who need treatment from seeking treatment.

Bizarrely, this utter cunt Wayne La Pierre wants a national register of the mentally ill but is opposed to a national register of guns.

Donā€™t take it personally, heā€™s lashing out at everyone this morning.

He must have hit the bottle of a Green Spot

The passion from @anon7035031 this morning is uplifting

A walk around San Francisco shows you what happens to you in America if you develop any serious or long term mental illness.

Itā€™s scary stuff - if you have a bump in your life very good chance you end up on the streets.

These are all fiddling around the edges measures. Raising the age to 21. Seriously?
They give the impression something will be done, but if all these measures were carried out, you still have millions of millitary style weapons (dont nitpick over this like you did before, these weapons are designed to kill multiple people at a time, they are millitary weapons) in the hands of people. It diesnā€™t even take someone with a mental illness. A very very small proportion of crime is committed by people with mental illness.
If you want to tackle it, actually tackle it, you do an amnesty, buyback, make things illegal and stop fucking around the edges, like what Australia did.
Not going to happen, youā€™re stuck with this problem.

Thats a very good post for a wanker.

Are the classrooms in the school buildings safe rooms, with bullet proof glass and doors and strong locking system?
