It was the 18th shooting at a school in the United States in 2018, despite the year being only 45 days old

A complete twisting of the facts. They like to imply that there have been 18 mass shootings. In fact nearly all of these were accidental with no injuries, a suicide, or gang violence related.

They just knife each other and pour lots of acid around instead.

“Florida is considered accommodating to guns, by national standards.”

Except in those “Gun free” School zones.

“Self-defence won’t be considered a valid reason”

What a load is crap! Leftist pukes are not more powerful than my God-given right to life and liberty. I am a free man.

That’s way more than anybody other than a Welsh lawyer wants to know on the subject.

“the UK has one of the lowest rates of gun homicides in the world.”

And how do you compare to Switzerland?

“Everytown for Gun Safety” is a BLOOBMERG organization that publishes lies to fit their agenda. Even The Liberal WaPo calls them out for their lies......................

I propose that a trial effort needs to be done in Los Angeles and San Francisco. All guns banded. No policeman, no body guard, no security agent, no FBI agent, no one allowed to possess a gun of any kind.

How long before criminals act with impunity. How long before one of the elite is attack by a criminal, who pays no attention to the law.

I really wish the Socialist Elite would quite lecturing us about gun control, all the while being protected by those same guns they condemn. I really wonder how they would feel waiting for the police (sans guns) to arrive and confront a weapon wielding criminal.

Yes, and what they will not bother to tell you is that it was easier in the U.K. to legally acquire and possess handguns before Thomas Hamilton’s 1996 bloody rampage in Dunblane than it was in Chicago, New York City, and Washington DC. Also that police permits to legally acquire shotguns were not required until 1967 in that country; basically anyone could walk into a decent sporting goods store or gun shop in England and buy as many as they liked plus shells and no questions asked. The United Kingdom also executed death row inmates at a rate that would have likely made Texas blush by comparison and that this was done right up until the British government formally abolished the death penalty in 1965.

All of that, particularly when the firearms laws of that country were far more casual compared to the laws outlined in the article, was accompanied by crime and violence rates far lower that what it is in Great Britain today.

We’ll see how your gun laws are working as the religion of piece(s) grows in Britianistan.

Of course overall violent crime in the UK is off the charts. They just do it with knives, machetes, bats etc. The average person is totally defenseless against home invasion etc.

I stopped at the line with 18th school shooting. The author is an ignorant agenda pusher. I've visited Wales a few times doing family history research. My ancestors made a good choice to emigrate to America. Idaho suits me just fine.

"laws which meant 19-year-old Cruz could easily, and legally, buy a semi-automatic weapon."

Not if he smoked pot.

According to the Home Office , more than 700,000 firearm owners live in England and Wales and more than one million firearms and shotguns are covered by certificates.

I can guarantee you there are more guns than that in New Mexico with a population of less than 2 million.
