Your views on guns

. Look at Canada. Very few mass shootings and they have some of the most relaxed gun laws in the world.

The waiting time for weapons are longer but you can still buy AR15s there, much more easily than in the UK

given the amount of hatred for immigrants in the UK right now i think guns would be a very bad idea.

yeah, i'm from Canada and apparently we have more guns per capita than the US. do we have more relaxed gun laws, though? no, you might want to google that.

fyi you don't hear of as many shootings in Canada as the States because it's a different political culture/climate. .unless you're a criminal, you don't really care about having a gun in your house; it's not something we dwell on.

How do you manage to turn everything into racism. You have a one-track mind, lady; you are completely obsessed with the idea of being racially abused. OP is taking about gun laws being relaxed and you make it about the public wanting to murder blacks. A delusional and unhealthy obsession.

what? i wasn't making this about racism; i was mentioning the political climate, which apparently in the UK means an obsession on immigration as proven by brexit. introducing leaner gun laws in an unstable political climate where immigrants are hated doesn't make sense to me.

Hi there,

I'm interested in finding out about how TSR finds guns and if they would want to see less restricted gun laws in the UK and about the gun control debate in the US.

Let me make my position clear.

I am pro gun. There are guns in my household. I know how to use them and I like guns. I want gun laws loosened in this country. I want the right to bear arms. With the crime in London, with the police unable to protect us, I think law abiding citizens should be able to carry firearms concealed or open, by either repealing the act that effectively banned regular barelled firearms, or carrying a rifle/shotgun.

As someone coming from a libertarian perspective, I think that it is cconcerning that the government can have so many weapons of their own and the people can't have that right.

I think in the US, its' too late to change gun laws drastically, but I would introduce a longer waiting time for weapons, and introduce better mental health care. The recent shooting in Texas was not with an "assault rifle", but a old revolver and a shotgun. Both weapons easily accessible in the UK, and shotguns are legal.

I have a good example to back up my claim about guns not being to do with school shootings. Look at Canada. Very few mass shootings and they have some of the most relaxed gun laws in the world. The Czech Republic, I recently went too. Citizens allowed to carry guns, own assault rifles to stop terrorists and own assault rifles in their homes for recreational purposes. The last mass shooting they had was in 2015 and only 8 people were killed.

I think that school shootings boil down to the culture in US schools of cliques and hirearchy rather than guns. Nicholas Cruz was bullied by other students and while that doesn't justify what he did, all the other shooters were bullied to some extent and this is a problem that needs to be dealt with more

Did you read anything other than the first sentence? I wrote that Canada has Liberal gun laws and they don't have mass shootings or school shootings all the time. It's to do with the bullying culture in US school

The festival guy was an ISIS convert as was the seucirty guard helping him. Of course the government won't mention that

How is saying Britain has violent opposition to immigrants not make this about racism? Taken in isolation, I might buy the relevance of political stability but you constantly talk about racism and prejudice. It would mean that the 99 other times you were bringing in racism needlessly but this time it is pertinent.
