So, (yet) another school shooting ... which will be followed (soon) by (yet) another shopping mall shooting ... to be followed by ....

Why are they even feigning surprise?
If you let everyone and anyone wander round armed to the teeth these things will happen.

Back in 2001 when the Yankers put up the shutters and were terrified of all "foreigners" I wondered why they felt that way when (to me) it was apparent that they were in far more danger from fellow Americans.

So I did some research.

I found that over the previous 20 years the average murder rate (per year) in the USA was 17,500. The rate didnt vary much - from a "low" of around 15,000 to a "high" of 20,000.

So, in 2001 when 3000 were killed at the World Trade Centre, the people there were still SIX TIMES more likely to be killed by a fellow American.

So they put up the shutters - AND LOCKED THE LOONIES IN !!!!!!!

50 years ago.

I see the media have got what they want from the latest school shooting.

They have found (or invented) a "saintly" hero, and are demonising the alleged accused.

They have to reduce it all to "goodie" and "baddie" so their moronic audience can fully understand.

This includes us all then ITK?

But I have never heard of an 'alleged accused' - what type of a person is that?

putting that tragedy into context, but do you know how many children are murdered by American (and yes, British) troops every single day in false wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and so forth? Is an American life worth more?

Of the 4,040 civilian victims of US-led coalition forces for whom age data was available, 1,201 (29%) were children

No one has been charged, but someone has allegedly been accused, no?

The only thing to stop a bad man with a gun
Is a good man with a gun !

So says the NRA

Wouldn't it be better still if the bad man didn't have a gun in the first place?

well. steve ... following the NRA's train of thought surely the answer is give guns to every child?

The sheer insanity of the NRA is mind boggling; Nuclear weapons in every school? That's deter the loonies!

When people understand that people kill people not guns or knifes ?

... but how do you protect the loonies from themselves?

Who decides who can have a gun or a knife?
Who sets the tests?

Whats wrong owning a gun or a knife ?

Further proof that most Americans are completely loony -

Thousands of Americans have signed a petition calling for British CNN host Piers Morgan to be deported over his criticism of the country's gun laws.

By noon on Christmas Eve, the petition - which is posted on the White House website - had garnered more than 31,000 signatures, surpassing the 25,000 required to get a response from the US government.

Mr Morgan tweeted about the petition: "If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?"

The outspoken former Daily Mirror editor has called for tighter gun control measures in the wake of the December 14 massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
