    You can own a long gun at 14 in quite a few states but parents have to buy it, what kind of parent gives their kid a gun?
    A big problem is that there is no federal age limit set on buying long guns from an unlicensed dealer (hand guns does, even then its 18).
    The human brain continues developing well into your twenties, 21 is still too low.

    It just beggars belief that they defend this right to carry a gun as vigorously as they do. Makes absolutely no sense to me when you see tragedy after tragedy like this.
    It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that easy access to guns is a bad idea.

    You’re right, you’re definitely not offended.

    Again, 19 children have just been murdered in a school. But keep preaching about how no one can criticise America.

    * offended at * calling it a cesspit but thinks being from a scheme is an insult.

    This madness seems to happen on this scale on a monthly basis now.. all over the USA… against all ethnicities and ages …. and in every sort of location … sadly schools with increasing frequency.

    A nation on the verge of social ‘civil war’.. with 15+% of the population with some sort of psychological issue or mental illness…

    …. but yeah’ ‘2nd amendment rules’…

    Most * up country in the planet but spends it’s time and resources interfering in other nations rather than sort out the biggest domestic security issue in its short history.

    350 million civilians owning 400 million guns between them says it all.

    Truly truly reprehensible.

    The right to bare arms seems more important than kids lives and every parent should be thinking of their kids having a future than having a gun in the house .
    The NRA is a very powerful organisation and any congressman or senator who wanted stricter gun control would find life very difficult and would probably lose their seat in a up coming election .
    I just find it difficult to understand that every child in America should have the protection not just from their parents but from their government and this sadly isn't happening and every parent sending their child to school today might be the last time they see them and this is unacceptable and something needs to change .

    Said it in the NBA thread but the fact his Dad was assassinated by gunmen must make it even more difficult for him.

    Class guy man. Always uses his platform to speak out.

    Gun control is pretty blatantly needed at this point, but even deeper than that america needs to look at why its policies and laws have allowed so many psychos to be made

    I've always suspected that underneath the 'Greatest country in the world!!!' hype and despite all the money, there is something rather sinister constantly bubbling away in America. The US is so vast and so varied it can simultaneously be the most modern, forward-thinking country on Earth but also the most backward and paranoid. Pretty much from it's beginnings you see a high-handedness and distrust/fear from the white, Anglo-Saxon population towards well, anyone that isn't them basically and in it's worst forms it turns into the Racism, bigotry and hatred that the country is still struggling to rid itself of. This unease has been constantly fed and manipulated over the years by various lunatic religious leaders, politicians and News networks, culminating in a deep-rooted paranoia in a large part of the population which has them convinced guns are sacred. Add into the mix the general growth of mental-illness, disillusionment and self-loathing which is becoming more and more common throughout the Western world and you get the poisonous mix that leads to these terrible incidents. America is in for some really tough times in the coming years and it's road will be long and hard, and whilst I have never thought of them as 'The Great Satan' as some do(despite their many foreign policy mistakes), I am eternally grateful I do not have to live there.

    And to top it off, Trump will be running for President again. He'll probably win too.

    Who was preaching and who was saying criticism can't be leveled at societal issues over here?

    Calling an entire country a cesspit and it's inhabitant nutters isn't criticism pasty,it's racist

    Sickening! At that age my only worry was about getting new batteries for my gameboy. Can’t imagine the terror those kids and teachers sadly had to suffer :54:
