Wonder why them and not others in the house?... Anywhere this would be shocking, but in a community of 350 it's magnified I bet.

Damn. I know this is going to create more anti gun cries, but really people like that or in that mind state will find a way regardless.

"The Orlando Sentinel reported that in 2001 a man named Don C Spirit accidentally shot and killed his eight-year-old son Kyle with a high powered rifle in a hunting accident. Florida Department of Corrections records show he was released from jail in 2006 after serving three years for firearms offences relating to that incident."

Say what you like but if it wasn't so easy to access guns, it wouldn't be so easy for someone unhinged to do this to 7 other people and then himself. Sure he might have found another way, but they'd have had a better chance at survival if he didn't have to just point and shoot at them.

No one's denying that, but the figures speak for themselves. The USA allows its citizens to own guns. More people die from gun crime there, accordingly, than they do in say the UK or Germany or France or Canada. People still die there from gun crime, but nowhere near as many.

And probably another unpop opinion, but I think the police officers would need guns too. So would you ban the police members having guns too? I think that would be an even worse idea. I think it's bad enough that the police officers over here don't have guns... it's a scary though, the US police not having guns... I;m not a guns activist at all... (yay guns!!!!!!!11) but banning them would really be completely useless. I'm all for stricter regulations, that definitely needs to be done, but there's no way in a million years they would ever ban guns. I wish there was a way for gun crime to be completely diminished over there, but sadly I don't think there is.

We never owned a gun whilst we stayed in the USA, but I honestly don't blame someone for owning one. I mean, you hear of the most horrific crimes (because again, America is huge, Imagine 50 of the UK... there would be some pretty horrible crimes anywhere that size) If I was a home owner, I personally wouldn't own one, but I honestly can understand why someone would. Aside from crazy wild animals that can manage to get into homes, there's also crazy wild people. If someone broke into my house, (even here in the UK) I would fight them with whatever weapon i could find. Whether that be a table leg or a glass bottle or maybe even a kitchen knife, I would defend myself in any way that I could. Why would a strange come into my house? I wouldn't feel sorry for a burglar or a murder who got shot/killed/stabbed or W.E in someone elses house. I know it's a little harsh, but I wouldn't. I think the main reason people have guns in their homes, is because of how dangerous it is. I know I'm stating the obvious, but it's true. Banning guns would mean that criminals would still have them, and people who need them to protect themselves wouldn't. Besides, if you banned guns, what do you think would happen with the people who want guns? They will find something else dangerous to use. I read an article (which I cant find now... damn it) that when firearms were banned in the UK, knife crime almost doubled... Here's another chart though, i don't know when guns were banned here in the UK, but surely it was a while ago, so then why are these crimes so high, after it was banned? Christ, all the makes me sound like I love guns, but I honestly don't. I just don't think people understand what it's like to live in such a dangerous country. I personally feel like in such a dangerous place, you have the right to defend yourself, even with a gun. As I said though, there needs to be a hell of a lot more stricter regulations. The crime rate with guns is embarrassing over there.

The rise in gun crime is due to the rise in gang related crime I would have thought.
