Two more mass shootings in the U S of A.
Twenty plus deaths.
Anyone fancy living over there?There's too much confusion, I can't get no reliefComment

I do. Would love to spend several years there just to see what it's like. The meme and stereotype potential is too great to overlook.Etiam si omnes, ego nonComment

Ever noticed the shooter always seems to be a white man?
Mass shootings won't stop, it's part of their culture.Comment

It kind of is - they're insane gun addicts. Might stem from their utter inability to trust their government for whatever reason.Etiam si omnes, ego nonComment

Until they stop selling guns and rifles along side the fruit and veg while you're out doing a big shop in Walmart, it's never going to stop .Comment

President Trump has said the gunmen are "very seriously mentally ill".
That's an unusual take, perhaps the guy they arrested can use that as his defence.
Trump also said: "Hate has no place in our country", do you think he's being coached?Comment

251 mass shootings in the USA this year so far, it absolutely beggars belief.
It's been said time and time again over the last few years, but when things didn't change after the Sandy Hook incident it showed that they never would.Comment

Their Constitution gives their citizens the right to guns (bear arms?).Originally posted by Clungeman View Post
Can't see that ever changing, unless someone with balls starts a campaign to change that part of the Constitution.There's too much confusion, I can't get no reliefComment

The right to bear arms...but as Michael Moore asked in Bowling for Columbine: "Does that include nuclear arms?"!
President Trump looked utterly impotent talking to the media today.Comment

That's the actual wording of the 2nd amendment in the US constitution. That was over 200 years ago when the framers of the constitution had no conception of what the world would look like today, so applying their words to what Americans can lay their hands on in 2019 is quite frankly ridiculous.
And, by the way, this is the text of the 18th amendment to the constitution:
"Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all the territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress."
That one lasted from 1920 to 1933, so the argument that the constitution can't be changed is utter bullshit, it's only money that talks over there.Comment

The UK is the 51st state, or didn't you see the film?Originally posted by stevie harkness View Post
Maybe the USA should try buying The Falklands, or Gibraltar
