I can only recall the UK having just 2 in its history.

The US has the weakest gun laws in the developed world.

It is as horrendous as your acid attacks.

There's your "yes but" bull**** defense again.
Yhe UK is not having weekly deadly attacks on multiple school children
in their schools - whether by gun, acid, knife or sarin gas doesn't
matter. It is a DISEASE in the USA - and sadly, GUNS, and in
particular automatic "assault" weapons which have NO legitimate use -
they are not hunting rifles - they are designed for one purpose, and
one purpose only - to kill people

Well put.
The "weekly attacks" are thugs in school being thugs. Some of our
schools are in combat zones. Kids in school and people outside those
schools carry guns and shoot each other.

As if that's acceptable and normal.

Crime is a problem in general for some neighborhoods and some
demographics. In Ft Myers it was announced that virtually all of the
murders occurred in an area where 1% of the population lives. We seem
to have a problem dealing with that but it doesn't mean we have to
restrict the rights of the 99% because 1% can't stop being savages.



Yes, I know. You need to be able to buy your guns, just like you buy
your Bud and cigarettes. Just walk in and buy whatever you want,
no matter if you're being treated for mental illness, have ten arrests
or are a drug addict. No time for a permit process to check any of
that, it has to be just like buying beer.
