Re: Yet another school shooting in the US

Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
When I still lived in the US, I belonged to a gun club. We took target shooting seriously. Accuracy was the goal. NONE of us had even semi automatic rifles, much less assault rifles. A friend of mine lived in the boonies of Montana. He said his AR 15 was for home protection and he felt better having the fire power. Myself, I consider the best home protection is a pump shotgun. Bird shot loads will disable anyone in a room but will not penetrate walls and endanger neighbors. Outlawing assault rifles would not bother me a bit. Extended magazines holding more than 5 rounds are also not necessary. Unfortunately bleeding heart judges and lawyers are certainly not helping these kinds of crimes.

Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
Agree about the shot gun glalt, while I don't have one here in U.S. I do have a Judge pistol loaded with .410 shells with 000 buck shot. Good enough for inside home defense. If push comes to shove I can load with .45 colt rounds.

Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
i really hope the news has got it wrong, alleged police did not intervene. waited listening to shots being fired and done nothing. unarmed locals willing to rush in and risk their lives and not caring ,just wanting to save the children . while police popped to Mr Doughnut for breakfast. so much for hero's in uniform

Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
If whoever shot the gunman wasn't the police, then who the f*** was it?, and more to the point what was he doing in possession of a firearm on school premises?
Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
WHO shot him? who really cares

Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
My view?
Americans identify as being quite religious, the type of religion that embraces quite fundamentalistic beliefs, do not question this, your mindset blocks questioning the beliefs. The US constitution, which was basically framed 350 years ago, is regarded in almost biblical terms, Americans cannot bring themselves to question it. The second amendment goes back to 1794. So we have this unholy alliance between fundamentalism V's rational analysis, country above all V's verse's rational analysis.
The two, the bible and the constitution are regarded as sacrosanct, no rational analysis is likely to change this. It's part of the American psyche.

Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
I wish people would get their facts straight before publishing such stories.
"On 3 June 2017, a terrorist vehicle-ramming and stabbing took place in London, England. A van was deliberately driven into pedestrians on London Bridge, and then crashed on Borough High Street, just south of the River Thames. The van's three occupants then ran to the nearby Borough Market area and began stabbing people in and around restaurants and pubs.[8] They were shot dead by Metropolitan Police and City of London Police authorised firearms officers, and were found to be wearing fake explosive vests.[9] Eight people were killed and 48 were injured, including members of the public and four unarmed police officers who attempted to stop the assailants. British authorities described the perpetrators as "radical Islamic terrorists".[7]
The Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attack."

Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
both attacks added together only 13 people died and 4 terrorist died, where you got 30-40 died i don't know. mind you if they had access to AR15's it would have been a right mess. so lets get it right. so far there has been 27 school shootings and a total of 212 mass shootings in murica just this year alone, good to see you have to go back 5 years to find an incident in the uk, you might notice the thread is about school shootings. funny enough if you search for 'mass shooting' or 'school shootings' neither search do you have to add america , both are synonymous with america when it comes to internet searches .pepesgrill wrote: ↑May 27, 2022, 7:26 amyou forgot the westminster incident a month earlier. holders of brit passports. but middle-east descent. gawds sake. remove #'d footnote ref's. just copy&paste willy-nilly. it's sloppy and detracts

28,000 incidents of knife violence in u.k. last year?
as i said, mental health probs everywhere. and you
can add hopeless bigotry to that list also.
the guns are crazy, nobody denies that. but leave
your personal biases at the bar. or wherever

Re: Yet another school shooting in the US
still on about non school shootings outside america , get with the program , actually it was 18,000 not 28,000, and they weren't violent attacks. the vast majority was just possession of an offensive weapon. if you take the fact that taking a kitchen knife out of your home into the street , if a policeman stops you you will be arrested for carrying a weapon. the reason it even gets to 18,000 is because we have very strict laws on carrying knives. any blade over 7.62cm is illegal to carry on your person.pepesgrill wrote: ↑May 27, 2022, 8:16 am28,000 incidents of knife violence in u.k. last year?

kp's english corner has been very quiet. i was hoping he would address this apostrophe issue. and then there's proper hyphen usage. where is the kp?
