    Very true. But I will also say this zero bond thing is having a real bad impact in some cities. Remember reading a lad who got out the day after and ended up hurting his ex missus. Scary stuff when you know guns are legal

    The worst thing about this these incidents in America days is that the reaction in the Uk is more likely to be "oh not another one" rather than one of shock.

    Nobody is safe over there til they make it compulsory that everybody should carry at least two semi automatic weapons!
    That should errr sort it!

    on a serious note, they seem to have no idea who it was what they looked like or a motive, so the lunatic is free to do it again :(

    They're obsessed with the Second Amendment which allows them to bear arms. But that was written in the 1700s shortly after the American war of Independence - it has little relevance in today's society and should be scrapped.
    But of course the NRA and the powerful gun lobby are determined to make sure that doesn't happen. Reyt mess

    I know all about the bill of rights, but still don't understand the need to hang onto that part when times have changed so much.

    Must be, there's no other logical explanation as to why you can buy them in supermarkets, unlicensed.

    Also, lots of people who like guns, are part of large gun companies, and also like money from gun sales.

    Quite a few going back to the 70s and 80s. Many of those were carried out by the various sides of the conflict in NI though. But you missed Jeremy Bamber in 85 (5 dead - although that was within one family), Robert Sartin in 89 (1 dead, 14 injured) and Jake Davison (5 dead, 2 injured) in Plymouth in 2021.

    I don't get your point, another seven shot dead in another mass shooting also in California, it's a very, very regular occurrence so it's not a shock.

    Aye, surely it's called an amendment for a reason? Just amend it with 21st century relevance
