I lived in the States for ten years. People in uk dont understand the place. Basically these events are considered acceptable losses by those in the nra who pay the politicians. If i went back id pop into walmart and buy a gun. Nobody would break into my house to nick my car keys because if i shot them i would be taken out for a beer by the cops for doing a good job.
If you give people guns then people are going to get shot. Thats just the way it is. Nothing is going to change over there and it will happen again. As they say "get over it". The real trdgedy is all the kids who get killed when they find daddies gun and start to play with it. But the nra doesnt like that to be discussed so it isnt
