Bit of an example of the pot and kettle that is US politics. That's without picking one or the other, they're both at it. Watch how each side finds a way to spin how that latest shooting by the amateur rapper or whatever he was, was in fact the other side's fault because of their failed policies blah blah blah. I wouldn't take politics as an excuse for the insane

Presuming the weapon he used was legally procured with minimal if not zero background checks, then insofar as any fault can be placed with anyone beyond the perpetrator himself, it's with those who refuse to change the situation that allows a madman access to the capability to fire off dozens of high powered rounds in just a couple of minutes. People would be amazed at just how much of a deterrent hassle is, like the hassle of trying to get a powerful gun if you have to go at it via the black market rather than a local store.

Only way to clean up gun control in thr US is to have it the same as here. But that will never happen. The best you could hope for is you can own a handgun and/or shotgun. You want to fire an assault rifle then off to a gun range. And even that won't happen.

Is it 70 to 80 percent of Americans want him control but republicans will just block it forever. Sure dead kids is ok as long as the campaign donations keep flowing in.

I'm sure both sides will find a reason to blame each other. He has colourful hair after all...

Edit: that's not to say I'm not in favour of gun control. We have very few problems with mass shootings here.

"Both sides will find a reason to blame each other" is a banal truism. As intelligent human beings, we have the capacity, should we choose to employ it, to judge case by case which reasons have most weight and merit.

Anyone see the Pelosi campaign emails that were doing the rounds asking for contributions? She was meanwhile pictured watching racing in Italy from a palace balcony while asking for $15.

One of the comments, if it's to be believed:

"What most people also don't know is that many of these emails are sent out by 3rd party affiliates who own the email list and are paid 50%+ of total donations they generate. I've been in political marketing space since 2016 and when I first discovered this I couldn't believe it. Political fundraising is a total scam on both sides."

A minor sin compared to reading out that "poem" by Bono about Ukraine.

"Should we choose to"....

As it happens, I went to put on Deja Vu the other day and noticed that, firstly., it was there, and secondly, that Young's tunes on the album are unavailable. I don't think it should be there if it's not the whole thing.

'If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim'

A Lt. Col in the marines called Cooper said that. And it's fair enough

[Emphyrio]

There is complete logic in that statement, given how far gone they are over there. Which in itself is very scary.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yes. The shooter hidden on the roof with the AK-47 must fear the families walking by in the parade. If they were all carrying AK-47s too, then maybe only half the number would have been shot before they even figured out where the shots were coming from.

"Good guy with a gun" bullshit.

[Caomhaoin]

The logic is undeniable, except to left wing dogmatics. See above.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Explain then, using the Highland Park and Uvalde shootings as examples. The bar it has to pass is showing how it would be a more effective deterrent than not having easy access to automatic assault weapons. Go:
