Re: Another school shooting, in Texas this time.

this is going to go on and on unless they do something about gun laws. What is wrong with people, why do they want to go around shooting and killing people. Madness.

Me either. I wonder how many people have to die before America realises that something has to be done, probably never.

Yet another case of drug use, perhaps.

Re: Another school shooting, in Texas this time.

Did you see the interview with the man with the american flag? no.
He said we are going to make America great again, right outside the school where this shooting took place
As he was walking away it showed he had A PISTOL STRAPPED TO HIS WASTE.

That just about says it all.
What is it with the Americans that they have the need for guns?

If the American people can't do it themselves then the only way to stop it is to closed down all gun shops and ban ammunition being sold as well.

Until this happens you will get some hothead doing this time and time again. Even the President refuses to apply a total ban as he is backed no doubt by the gun lobby.

One of the big drawback is the internet where those wanting to cause trouble worldwide via their believes get impressionable people to follow them and commit the terrible acts

Re: Another school shooting, in Texas this time.

I would agree that guns are too readily available in the USA, but once you have allowed them to have guns it is very difficult to force them to manage without.

I think that the more you expose young people to the idea of shooting guns, they are more likely to see the use of guns as "the norm".

Maybe the American film industry could help by providing less violent films that make the man, holding the gun. look like a hero!
