You use the tube of toothpaste analogy. I prefer to use the curable malignant tumour analogy. And then there is also the kitchen with the invading ants analogy. I'm sure some of the ants are really, really nice.

Virginia Ham...
Completely agree with you...

The second amendment is outdated...meant for much earlier times related to forming a civilian militia to defend the country hundreds of years ago...

/now it's ridiculous with over 300million guns... so many illegal and available to criminals...

NRA...Gun Lobby ...Manufacturers have control via second amendment....spurious argument I M O ...

or carrying a weapon around in public.....pure insanity.

It's hard to anyone seriously who thinks that the answer to the gun problem in the US is more guns.

Re: Another mass shooting

Without legally bought weapons it would have been a hell of a lot harder.......the lack of gun control in the US has created a monster.

Hardly a rush is it.

A rush...immediately after San Bernardino shooting...to push for Gun Control...rather than call it for what it was...Radical Islamic Terrorists..

America deaths by firearms per 100,000. 10.5 people

UK deaths by firearms per 100,000. 0.26 people

Doesn't matter if they are bought in a legal or illegal way. having them legal and available isn't a good thing.

Mentor. Stop making life easy for them.

its a multi cultural world thanks in he main to cheap communications and transportation.

Can't put that toothpaste back in the tube. Find way to minimize the risk. In the big picture of 350 million yanks and seven billion people on the planet the fear doesn't match the scale of the problem - outside of the Middle East.

Re: Another mass shooting

And a complete ban on buying lead piping and rucksacks?

Re: Another mass shooting

BTW...
What additional Gun Controls would have prevented this shooting...???

Possibly ...iAutomatic Rifle Ban may have limited the casualties...but no guarantees...

All guns were legally bought...under strict California Laws...

Only outright gun ownership a la UK may have prevrnted this and other shootings...
Bur complete banning will never happen...unfortunately...

Obama & Co...Rush to Gun Control...Workplace Violence...No Islamic Terrorists...

Republicans Straight to Islamic Terrorists...

Wonder who is correct...???

How will it be divided up in this utopia of yours mentor?

By nationality, race or religion?

Re: Another mass shooting
Great. Let's come up with a completely unworkable plan.

You may think so, but that is what will eventually happen because that is the only answer. What is your alternative apart from cracking down on gun laws? (also completely unworkable)

Re: Another mass shooting

I agree, Caps, but so often schoolboy politics comes into play...along the lines of a government cutting a department's budget, so that budget head applying the cuts in a manner that worst affects the country (to show who's the boss), so you'll get, say, a 10% cut in the Home Office budget, so they apply that cut by sacking all the immigration control clerks (and not anyone in the management office, where the cuts would bring the most benefit), thus giving potential terrorists unfettered access to the country.

"Not my fault!" will go up the cry, "YOU cut the budget, not me, so it's ALL your fault."

Repeat as often as the day is long.

...or you prevent your enemies living amongst you. That is the only way we are going to stop this.

Re: Another mass shooting

but it clearly should be a goal not to make it easy for them. In doing that gun laws do have a significant role.

I would suggest something accelerated their time-table rather than them not being very good.

Whether they were told to bring their action forward or somebody at the venue said his wife smelt like a bacon sandwich is probably hard to tell, but this smells of a knee-jerk action.

Re: Another mass shooting

Of course not. I think your gun laws are absolutely stupid. I'm just saying strict gun laws aren't going to stop committed terrorists.
