You’re not really a numbers girl are you drac? You don’t go in for statistics in any way shape or form do you – preferring to concentrate on the dramatic headline or shock-inducing picture to make your point…..just to pick an argument with………….well……….me.
I’ve never said that the UK is perfect when it comes to guns and I’ve never talked about gun control ad nauseum like you and the others do.
No my dear, lets boil it down to one simple correlation: when you have more guns you have more gun violence..most of it domestic…and sadly more gun deaths. I’m glad that we agree there is a cultural difference between most civilised countries and the USA regarding gun ownership. The thread started with my dear ol mukker Trump endorsing wider gun ownership following Uvalde. ‘give the teachers guns’ he said (and not for the first time).
Imagine BoJo saying that over here. I’m intrigued to know what your reaction would be to that???
Well hello drac, I was wondering when you were gonna stick your cute little nose into this debate and try to debunk everything I’ve said. Before you make anymore boo boos, I suggest you read
..and I refer you back to the big picture that the UK has a tiny fraction of the gun ownership per head than the USA and consequently it has a tiny fraction of the gun violence per head than our cousins across the pond. The UK does not have a gun culture as does the USA and gun ownership isn’t promoted anywhere near as much as it is in the US. Our community police perform their job by consent, not with guns.
Tell me drac, are you compelled to rush out and buy an AR15 and convert it for your protection? I’d like to see that…
Try concentrating on the main facts of the case, not tiny little distracting details. You don’t wanna be like fishy do you ?

Of course, gun lovers might want to argue that they have more nutters per 100,000 of the population than anyone else in the world, hence the much greater gun violence.
Hmmmm, more nutters in the US than anywhere else…..
The hard core gun owner will obfuscate, mis-direct, confuse, avoid the question, insult, cajole, defend with ‘what about what about’…..anything to protect their fucking second amendment and their belief they are protecting themselves.
More guns means more gun violence. It’s fucking simple but too fucking simple for gun-lovers
The hard-core gun owner will never accept the truth.
Sorry Andy pandy I will stick with my American partner here. MOST CASES after the fact have been proven as mental instability. Including covid lockdowns some causes, depression, substance abuse. Normal people loosing it. Family disconnection.friends. etc.
The Texas one blows my mind. Death penalty be to sweet for him easy way out or life..no parole. Live off the taxpayers for free. Makes me sick. They have rights in prison. What about the victims?
So andy pandy u look up The different States and look into gun laws? As I said each are different like prostitution. Amazing when you do real research.
And yes what about Berlin? We talking copy cat issues? U.s.a. fault?
And kiwi Trump been out of office. Do your research. Biden to weak to come out and speak about it as those organizations contributed to his campaign. Lol.
Get a tattoo. Love America!
Only 4% of the violence that occurs in the United States can be attributed to people with mental illness, yet when incidents of gun violence occur, they are almost immediately associated with psychiatric illnesses.

Try and make an attempt to state your sources Linda, otherwise it’s just speculation on your part driven by your susceptibility to mis-information campaigns, and you wouldn’t want your mate puds trying to patheticially shoot you down, would you?
