    If this where anywhere else but the US I'd be more shocked and suprised to be honest.

    Sadly thanks to years of this carryon it leaves me feeling rather cynical that it's just another day in 'murica. It's still awful innocent people are dead but when their poltical system is poisoned by vested interests and dirty money.....

    I think this is a great explanation of the American situation. Loopers in the NRA

    Ehh it’s the same thing. The objective is to kill as many people as possible.

    If it was the same thing organised terrorists in Europe would be achieving the same or greater death tolls than lone shooters in America.
    If the objective is to kill as many as possible then why choose less deadly methods?

    New legislation is needed for sure. The amount of shootings is crazy.

    Not getting reported to anywhere near the degree which it should be (wonder why) but there was also a mass shooting on Friday night at a football game in Alabama when a 17-year-old opened fire a section of the crowd.

    Luckily nobody died or is seriously hurt.

    I feel like commenting on this is pretty pointless at this stage. We know they will never change.

    RTE article mentions the shooter"s skin colour several times where as they avoid pointing out when a crime here was committed by a traveller. hmmmm.

    There was another one yesterday at a high school football game in Alabama, think 10 people shot but nobody died so not much news

    Also this is completely normal for a teacher to be taught for back to school training.

    The greatest country in the world folks.

    Can this be made a sticky? and a tacky and a bit of a messy? Makes sense to keep all the murderous American shootings in one place.

    Just to be clear I am 100% pro gun. But absolutely not high powered rifles. Ideally the second amendment should be limited to handguns and hunting rifles. I believe in the right to defend yourself.

    You can licence high powered rifles here and we don't have the same problems as over there.
