Away from shootings, I see Johnny Depp has won his case against his ex.

Quite randomly turned up in Sheffield on Monday night and went on stage to play a couple tunes with Jeff Beck. Struck me as a bit nuts, no idea if he was back in US for verdicts today though.

This lists all mass shootings even when deaths are 0 or quite low. It is nearly every day. 

Armed with a rifle and hand gun, but only got 4.

Targeted individuals are just a bad shot?

750 have been killed by guns since the school shooting the other week.

What does this even mean? You actually trying to argue that Biden is responsible?

Trump & Biden have very different stances on gun laws.

And so far Trump is the only one to bring in any gun restrictions ( I hate the guy but facts are facts), hopefully by the end of the week Biden we have something to sign

Nope, just a bit of sarcasm as whenever there was large incident like this when Trump was in power people were quick to blame him.

“Big Second Amendment believer but background checks to weed out the sicko's are fine.”

We'll see what Biden comes up with. Not sure how much power he actually has on this. 

If they're so big on amendments, can they not just amend the second one to say "right to bare arms but you can't go on mass shoot outs" 

That should sort it

The second amendment already states "a well regulated militia". It's utter bollocks that it states every man and his dog has a right to bear arms.

little to non really, it as to come from congress . I can see the age being upped from 18 to 21 and that will be it.

Apparently the state law in Texas regarding gun ownership minimum ages is that you have to be 21 to own a handgun, but you can buy a semi automatic assault rifle at age 18. The school perpetrator was 19 and used his semi automatic assault rifle. Shakes head.

Shooter said goodnight and executed the teacher infront of the pupils. One lass played dead covered in her teachers blood.

Another lass could only be identified through her favourtie converse trainers that she drew a smiley face on the toe.

Yeah but kitchen knives....

Proper lump in throat moment.

Having to identify kids from their shoes because there's fuck all else to go on?
Third World backwards shite, that.
