Why won't America ever learn?

[Amandistan]

Another  hate crime by a white supremacists male, idiot, prick.
He sits in a church and then massacres 9 people simply for being black. He tells a women that he is sparing her life to tell the world what happened.

He was bought a gun for his birthday. He openly discussed this yet people took it as a joke.

For **** safe what is wrong with America?   
Christ, wouldn't you think by now they would have changed the 2nd amendment so that it does not give just anyone the right to own a gun.  Something that is made to kill

It's not 1776 any more. We are not trying to over throw British Rule anymore. The law is outdated.

The media is struggling with calling it what it is. It's a hate crime and it is terrorism. 
This does not happen in any other advanced nation. It's sickening.
They don't want to address the issue that racism is alive and well in America.

I think its deeply ingrained in the culture, a lot of people are still stuck with a civil war slave trade attitude. I seen the confederate flag was a major issue. Putting the race issue to one side the pro gun lobby has way too power, it's time for proper gun controls. I'm glad that the uk has some of the strictest guns in the world.

Stop the killing!

It truly amazes me that people are allowed to buy heavy weaponry over the counter.... there is no true sane argument for this.

I osted this on the RIP thread and it puts it better than I ever could... from my favourite comedian Jim Jeffries...

Many a true word spoken in jest...

[Amandistan]

The NRA just blamed the pastor of the church where it happened. simply because he actually advocated gun control

The most disgusting quote ever! 

“And he voted against concealed-carry. Eight of his church members who might be alive if he had expressly allowed members to carry handguns in church are dead. Innocent people died because of his position on a political issue.”

I won't be surprised if another civil war breaks out.

How does one withdraw their citizenship?

Sadly it only takes one nutter with a gun to make a big statement

[Master Ray]

... and now a black man, raging with race issues, kills some white folks, and live on TV no less... 

[Pol]

The gun lobby has far too much power, when the president is powerless to change things.
I know the uk has some of the strictest gun controls in the world but for me its the right thing, we have had very few incidents after Dunblane thank fck

[Rusco]

it's time for proper gun controls.

Yea, I really agree. Proper gun controls everywhere and not just the States.

an all out ban would be fine with me...any objections?

[Coumarin]

I was brought up to respect a gun. pheasant, game and that. when in season and only then. of course we would eat what was shot.

They have recently banned air weapons here in Scotland, I pretty sure it isn't a uk wide law after a young boy got killed a few years ago

Personally....and I dont own one, guns are ok with sensible people. The problem is most people aren't sensible and are emotive. That said Im not convinced that open as an option to all is a good idea. Its a weapon for hunters or a weapon for killers

A gun is a tool for a hunter.

Can't remember if I've said this before but...

If you wanna fire big guns, join the fuckin' army...

The problem is one gun breeds another gun possibly an even bigger gun , lets face it if most of your neighbours have guns your going to want/need one to protect yourself
