Story still unfolding. Gunman has targeted a gaybar in Florida and currently has hostages too.

What they need is more guns, then they can simply shoot the gunmen.

Bets on how long it takes the Republicans to suggest that seriously?

If it turns out to be muslim terrorist, we can be treated to that hilarious spectacle of the introspection from the wingnut republican loonies on " why is it so easy for the bad guys to get guns"

They don't really do irony

Lol, warren just posted the same video he did in the previous U.S. gUn thread

Warren and his wingnut consipitard friends on the loony US right have no answers (well apart from Trump)

I will simply repeat my response when I actually watched that bat **** nonsense the last time

"whats interesting about that video is how obviously sensitive some in the US are about how they are perceived by the rest of the world

when you break the video down it is essentially in two parts

part 1 - he basically says the US isn't so bad because it is has a lower murder rate than Honduras, the rest of central America, Africa etc etc

great, but quite why he thinks it is so amazing to have a lower murder rate than Afghanistan is beyond me

he obviously makes the classic reference to left wing commies blah blah blah

the simple fact is even his figures show when you compare the US to pretty much all countries in Europe it is nearly 4 times as high

the second part is equally as laughable

so in the second part he basically cherry-picks the place with the lowest murder rate in US - undoubtedly a leafy all white prosperous suburb

he dismisses places like Detroit which has an unbelievably high murder rate - because he says the are black and left wing

and then compares this pocket of low murder rate to countries in Europe

and literally *********** himself vigorously over the fact that this little town full of rich gun totting mercans has a lower murder rate than countries in Europe

do you spot what he did? yes it’s so obvious a child could work it out

he takes one tiny part of the US and compares it with the whole of Germany or France or the UK

what he should do is take a part of Germany or France or the UK that has a similar socio economic profile and then compare them, like say Walton on Thames, or Henley


cherry-pickers always get found out"

Who needs guns when you're a shape shifter.

Last year in the US there were 372 mass shootings where 4 people or more were killed or injured in one incident.

Madness.

Never mind what the Constitution says. How can the pro-gun lobby defend their insistence on the right to bear arms in the face of this bloodshed?

What if I wish to agree or disagree with one of Hodgy's posts and I need to use the quote function for coherence?

According to his father he became radicalised after seeing two men kissing and it has nothing to do with religion. Well that's OK then all is forgiven....

Just watched it. As you say - crackpots.
How can you possibly justify the continued murder of innocent civilians by their neighbours by saying we only murder 4.7 people in every 100,000.
When does it become bad enough to warrant doing something about it? 4.8? 5.8? 20? They're such small numbers in the grand scheme of things.

Let's just go for a nice round 0.1% and say 100 is the limit. I'm sure Trump likes round numbers.

And as for being a bleeding heart, rather that than a bleeding corpse.
