Deranged indidvidual with a knife or baseball bat - maybe small handful of casualties. Deranged individual with a fully automatic firearm - very large numbers of casualties. It's really that simple.

dangerousedd Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 the usa is awash with guns I think it would be a hard slog just to ban semi automatic weapons. which wouldn't be very effective unless you confiscated them which I doubt would ever happen.

nowt2pctoday Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Ok, so what do you propose? If you don't believe changing gun ownership laws will help, what will? unfortunately just banning things is not the answer too simplistic, you cant legislate for a nutter or terrorist, anyone can hire or drive a car or lorry and inflict hundreds of casualties and death, fly a plane into a building, bomb a marathon plus many other ways to inflict injury and death on a wholesale basis, just think about it seriously if you really wanted to hurt a lot of people??? and had no care of consequences? i get it that you dont like guns fair enough. what do i propose?? far stricter government watching of extremists and people that view and interact with contacts & material online for a start, not perfect but its a start. maybe that wouldn't catch all but it may put some off. ---------- Post added 05-10-2017 at 18:29 ---------- And you cant be arsed to read :hihi::hihi::banana: nice emojis, is it wine time?

A former accountant, multi millionaire, quiet, some would say friendly, outgoing, and some have said quiet and nasty so we dont really know which. But something triggered him to start collecting guns and bombs. Your idea would not have stopped him, not being able to freely buy guns and bombs may have curtailed his planning and output somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
