Let them kill each other, they'll never get the point so long as most of them are stupid gun-toting evangelicals

That is the most insensitive post on this forum. Innocent people getting shot at, and all you can say is that? What an absolute scummy thing to say.

America is one ****ed up place.
I know one could argue "well theres 200+ million people there, bound to be a few nutjobs!!" - but lets be real people. Its messed up. How many mass shootings has there been in the last decade say?

Yeah it is a totally fcuked up place and yet a lot of people would sell all their belongings if given the chance to emmigrate there plus I am sure I have not heard of a number of needless gang shootings and murders in a country with less the population of most US states :rolleyes:

Its terribly hard to be sensitive when a shooting of this nature is almost a monthly occurrence.

If these murderers were actually killing eachother, and not innocent bystanders, then yes.

I reckon it will stop and then start again around about the time that the next gun toting nutter has a grudge.

I am not disputing the fact that he is black or not, I am saying that thedescription that you automatically presumed to be black could be ascribed to people of other ethnicities as well. Essentially, the description- ethnic and of darker colour does not necessarily mean he is black.

Regardless, he has committed a crime and should be severely punished for it.

That date's wrong, I rang them and:-" due to an administrative oversight it has been pushed out to noon, Sunday 1 April, 2017. Sorry for any inconvenience that might be caused by this change but it has been brought about due to unforseen difficulties implementing our "Stop fecking shooting each other ye crazy bollixes" Policy. Best regards, Uncle Sam."

Some statement from the yanks eh? Do they take nothing seriously??? I for one am appalled.

When will the Yanks yield to common sense and clamp down on guns

If it was mandatory for everyone to carry a gun there's no way the guy could have shot that many people

Guns are not the only means of committing murder. I think if you want to kill you will.

It doesn't say what part of ethnica he's from.

It's the culture in America that is the problem, not the guns. There's a "stay hard in the yard" or "never back down culture" and this leads to problems.

There are over 260,000 licenced guns in The Republic of Ireland. We have never had a mass killing in this country apart from stuff connected to the Troubles. If it was the fault of there being so many guns, then we should surely have had several mass shootings by now.

This never makes headlines but 99.9999999999999 of gun owners in America didn't go on a rampage today.

Correct.

Sure didn't a lad go mental in the UK this week with a white van and kill people by driving up on the footpath in several different places.

Lets ban vans.

Or maybe only white vans then.

I like Chris Rock's idea of making the guns freely available, but making the bullets cost at least a grand

I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. Ireland is well below 2% the population of the US and it's area would make it a 'small' US state.

I could pick out areas of the United States that haven't had a mass shooting ; and they'd have the land mass and population of Ireland. I'm not sure that would mean the attitudes/culture are any different in that area than the rest of the US.

If you look at Europe as a whole, there are still mass killings. Wikipedia lists five since 2010.

In fact - if you look at:

Ridiculous comment. Anybody's life ending prematurely is obviously horrible.

However, in a country where any idiot can walk into a wall-mart and buy milk, bread and an assault rifle, don't expect people to act shocked when peoples lives are prematurely ended.

Nothing is ever done after horrible incidents like this. So is it tragic that this happened? Of course it is. Is it shocking? How could it be!

That's not callous or crude, its natural to become desensitised to stuff like this over time and especially with the regularity of similar cases being reported.

What was my "gross" comment about this event?
The fact that guns are so freely available within a certain countries society that I am supposed to be surprised that innocent people become the victim of gun crime so often?

In fairness, I read the headline and the first thing that popped into my head,oh another one. That makes how many this year? Its not shocking in the least, sad and tragic yes, but hardly surprising considering how readily available guns are in some states. Hopefully the recent increase in mass shootings will start to change public opinion on gun control.

There are guns everywhere.

There are killings everywhere.

There are even guns and gun killings in Ireland.

So it regularly impresses me that some Irish think they have the wherewithal to wag their finger.

The US's problems are the US's problems. I feel like people keep talking about it here because it distracts them from their own problems; almost like a kid in a broken home that reads superhero comics, but in a more contorted manner.

Yeah but per capita the USA is way out in front in terms of gun crime. And yes there are gun murders in Ireland not very many.

Nobody is wagging their fingers.... Well maybe some people are but in fairness its about time the American people let go of this obsession with owning fire arms and having them readily available to anyone who wants them.
