No I mean't the U.S. Like yourself some countries don't float my boat and I couldn't give a sh*te if I never saw them. |

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Trump's latest suggestions are the craziest yet IMO
Lets arm the teachers as well. Hard to beat a good old shoot out in the school canteen. |

So what of the risks of:
Kids getting the gun from the teacher's desk? Teachers going bananas and shooting kids? Other teachers not being able to recognise when a teacher has gone off on one? An active shooter going after teachers first, before anyone else, negating the "advantage" instantaneously? Teachers blowing their own brains out in school and being discovered by kids? Rambo style teachers massively overreacting and going shooting when there are no active shooters in the school? When there are active shooters, kids getting hit in the crossfire and hit by (the ever ironic) "friendly fire"? This is just simply the most bananas answer possible. You don't make kids safer by putting more guns in schools. |

Yes but the only possible solution to the gun problem is more guns. Didn't you know the Vegas shooter would have killed less people if everyone in the crowd had a gun and started shooting back?

This is becoming more and more bizarre as the days go by. Its baffling how nobody is actually attempting to say 'stop' as this nonsense becomes part of the debate. Its clear that only a very small set of American society agrees with the "good guy with a gun" theory, while the rest of the (real) world dissents from that, based on legislative action after similar events. The resistance to gun control has to be ebbing away, apart from the most vigorous of lobbyists (centralised, and individual). Sadly, I dont think we will see any proper action in the forseeable future, and in the meantime, more lives will be lost.

Sounds like a day out in Homs. If you give people access to guns, eventually they will use them. You have a constitution that says everyone has the right to have firearms, and supporters of both parties are fiercely protective of it, so what do you do? It's not like the rest of the world where guns are hard to get, and possessing one is an automatic criminal offence. People will blame Trump for this, but that's not tackling the real problem, which is the culture that willingly advocates the need for people to bear arms in the first place. |

The constitutional claim is at best, tenuous. Legislation and policy can drive gun reform and control. Lets be honest, the current administration seem to have zero interest in actively and effectively legislating to make it more difficult to get guns, and to at least vet gun owners, which would not be contrary to the constitution. The moment you legislate, is the moment government can influence culture.

The Irish government have just overturned the hundred year ban on alcohol sold on Good Friday. It's not going to change Ireland's alcohol dependency culture, which is advocated, promoted, and celebrated across every aspect of society. A drug that ultimately kills people, harms others, and causes long term marital and health problems. America has had this gun issue going back hundreds of years. Democratic and Republican politicians have been reluctant to do anything about it. Guns are part of American culture, seen by society as protection, not as a threat. It's no wonder that it then spills out onto the streets, with horrific consequences. |

Liberalising alcohol consumption for one day a year is not in the same league as gun control. Equally, having one day a year where people can't go to the pub is unlikely to make a noticeable difference in the way we consume alcohol. People either abstained or stocked up in the days before Good Friday. Making it more difficult to purchase guns will actually have a tangible influence, as it will render more difficult for "legitimate" firearms to fall into the wrong hands. Ditto imposing stiff penalties for those found with illegally procured firearms (not a great leap from crimes related to the possession of weapons). I don't disagree that there has been a bi-partisan failing on gun control. But at least the Democrats have made some efforts (albeit a fraction of what John Howard and John Major did in Australia and the UK). They are not standing on ceremony peddling the "good guy with a gun" myth. |

The only link I can see between alcohol and guns is that both can help you to get sex

The NRA have a massive hard on to be the good guy with a gun, to be a hero, saluted by all as they tackle an armed madman, an all American hero. America's political system is pretty loose, state laws often over riding national ones. I have always maintained that this will never change until some headcase goes on a rampage in Harvard or Yale or somewhere that Congressmens children attend. Gun control wouldn't be long being brought in if 50 rich kids with powerful dads were gunned down. It is always the way.
