I should of edited that, it is not clear whether he was ever diagnosed with any mental illness but he was given a psychiatric evaluation, if he was never declared legally mentally ill by a judge then nothing could be done without violating his rights if he was then it is likely that the system failed to work together and gun laws couldn't of stopped it
Yeah well the best time to start that process was 100 years ago. The second best time is right now.
Only from our perspective.
There's almost no political will over there to do it, and huge numbers of the population are pro-2nd amendment. It would be like an atomic powered Brexit vote with guns. There are also fairly compelling practical reasons for the 2nd amendment.
The only parallel I can draw would be with banning pubs or alcohol here. It might seem a bit odd and silly to an outsider, but could cause major social upheaval if anyone tried to do it.
That's why guns should be banned in the USA or people think they can go shoot and kill anybody. You may argue the whole protection issue but I live in the UK where guns are just not this easy to obtain even the police don't have them but still I feel safe enough. Guns just increase crime so ban them so nobody can misuse one again
I think if we had something inbetween American and British gun laws it would be good, the gun culture in the UK is pretty big and I myself own a few guns but I am still sad I cannot get some of the guns I want

It is another mass public shooting in a gun free zone
No one can be this stupid.
Are you seriously saying airports would be safer if everyone had a gun on them? How about nightclubs, should everyone have a gun on them there? And pubs and football matches?
The idea that everyone having a gun is your response to gun crime is beyond ridiculous.
Silly me in thinking that gun crime was caused by guns. How could I not realise that gun crime is caused by there not being enough guns?
