"most notably the 1996 primary school shooting at Dunblane, Scotland, led to decisive – and united action."

And how many school shootings had been taking place before that?

There is no amount of reality that will get in the way of the Left’s agenda.

How many armed people were in that school besides the shooter? None. What was done about the person who was clearly mentally ill? Nothing. There is your answer.

Leftist policies and the 20 strikes and you’re out and identity politics also Covid lockdowns and CRT and I could go on and on about why this won’t end.

We aren’t allowed to rid ourselves of Democrats.

I remember we could go to school with rifles on gunracks in the rear windows of our pickups, and we had rifle practice after school.

Maybe we need to bring that back

Agreed. There was almost no violent crime in the U.K. in the many years before the first modern gun controls were introduced in 1967 when police permits for shotguns were introduced (this done by Home Secretary Roy Jenkins as an attempt to divert public attention away from calls to bring back the death penalty following the high profile murders of two British police officers). As more legislation was created and passed in years like 1967 and 1996 in that country, firearms related and violent crime increased. The illegal trade of handguns from Eastern Europe and domestic clandestine manufacture continues unabated there.

We talk too much about it. We are encouraging copycats.

If we had common sense laws on the freedom of speech we wouldn’t have to read thoughtless juvenile screeds like this one.

In the US today, over 50-million gun owners did not shoot anyone.

Because you Nazis can confiscate every gun in America and the killer kids will keep on killing.

If we could ban democrap voters we could end the violence. Democraps do the violence.

Why. Democrats prevent dealing with the primary causes of it: repeat violent felons and criminally insane persons. The question the Satan worshippers at the Independent should be asking is, Why do Democrats do that?

Of course, since they are fellow Satanists, they already know the answer. They enjoy the carnage and death that violent felons and the insane ravage society with.

Punish law abiding gun owners and more gun free zones for criminals.
It’s the same old story.

Trump showed why so called gun violence has not been solved. If there was a solution, the political parties couldn’t raise campaign contributions to support their “side” of the cause. The only side they actual care about is using it as a tool to get more money. We the people are livestock to them.

How can this be happening once again in America?

It was a gun-free zone. People who obey rules and laws weren't equipped to stop the punk. That's why. Would we permit a school to fail to have fire extinguishers, or not have a nurse on staff?

The ones who did have guns waited safely outside.
