...America has 30,000 gun deaths per year and no one here even comments on the latest massacre...
And the largest percentage of those are gang related, drug related, or suicides, Terry. It's a convenient statistic you like to bandy about, but do a bit of research through the FBI and DOJ's stats, and you'll begin to understand the actual factors in those numbers as they are not as the media would suggest, the result of mass shootings by disturbed loonies on unsuspecting crowds of people.
Sorry Cal, and no offense intended but, The media doesn't make up "mass shootings", and we are capable of deciphering the statistics, polishing them up doesn't take away from the fact that , you guys lead the world in mass shootings, its as simple as that, instead of checking the stats, compare them with the rest of the civilized world, they are appalling my friend...
Guns are an embedded culture in the USA... What gets me though is the fact that all the government wants to do is register all firearms and set a standard, the NRA then lie through their teeth and drum up a fear campaign, aided and abetted by the redneck community, and convince the uneducated masses that they are having their guns taken away...its a joke, that's what they actually believe..And for all the people brainwashed by the BS political lies in the US at the moment, even from one of your presidential candidates, {read, ALL THE TIME from the NRA}, GUNS ARE NOT BANNED IN AUSTRALIA...... but they have to be registered and there is a reasonable amount of scrutiny applied before you get a gun license, as it should be...
Proceed....
