here you go hun:

 

This is baseball bat. They are designed to hit baseballs. They are usually made of wood or metal. This one is charmingly called the Louisville Slugger:

You could indeed kill someone with it, but you’d need to be no further than a couple of metres away or have a very good aim, if you fancied your chances throwing it at an opponent. And you could only attack a small number of people at the same time, unless you’re Batman.

 

Now my love, this here, is a gun:

It is designed to kill and maim living things. It can kill more people than a baseball bat in a shorter space of time because it holds a large number of bullets, and can shoot them out very, very fast. And because you can use it at much greater distance than a baseball bat, it’s far more deadly. As we’ve seen today.

 

Here endeth the lesson.

 

Well done,haven't looked at them but suppose it passed time on.

[Ridgewalk]

yes, but somebody with a high-powered rifle is capable of killing far more people than somebody with a baseball bat.

 

Does that make sense, or would you like me to explain it with pictures ?

 

 

I think you’d have to make the pictures pretty clear and unambiguous.

I think you’d have to make the pictures pretty clear and unambiguous.

 

...and avoid any words of more than three syllables.

Hiya Penny, you alright flower

 

Do you think Trumpet’s gonna take action after this massacre, to prevent it happening again ?

 

Do you think he’ll rein in the gun-nuts and mentally-challenged misfits who voted him in to power ?

 

Do share with us your thoughts

 

 

 

 

Good luck with that one

I wonder how high the body count has to get before the US actually does something about it?

 

Im guessing well into 3 or 4 figures and then you might get a serious tut tut

We're the sensible people.

 

whose we?? we have many nonsensical people here also:roll: and they dont have guns? Guns dont kill people, people do, it could have been a home made bomb just as easily, are you going to ban many household materials just in case????

Its a year or two out of date but make of it what you will

[chalga]

It's true though, it is Trump's unbalanced reaction to this sort of incident that draws attention to the racism topic.

 

It shows how 2 faced Trump is when he's busy tweeting about London Mayor after terrorism,while he's not prepared to lift a finger to stop Americans shooting each other,he's quite happy to tolerate it,in his own interests.

[The Joker]

Guns dont kill people, people do

 

Yes.

 

With guns.

 

Any more stupid arguments you’d like to make ?
