That is obscenely ignorant I'm afraid. Because of how the American political system works, republicans have prevented anyone even having a vote on stricter laws, because the NRA basically owns them.

As for those plebes on the street, what is an appropriate protest to highlight fact they are getting shot while attending lessons in school?

Ignorant...nah sorry..

Trump is up against exactly the same **** as the former presidents, yet here he is, inviting survivors and teachers to discuss and brainstorm...dont ever remember seeing that before..hes gonna make it harder to get guns...unlike the former presidents....


The plebs on the street would be better advised not to block ambulances on the way to save lives when they are protesting at the loss of life....yes, it would be more appropriate and less scummy not to block ambulances whilst protesting about saving lives.

No a poll for Time is capitalism at work, choosing and petitioning your state legislator is democracy

That's because Obama had his meetings with the families by enforcing a press blackout.

I hate posting that link, because I don't view the situation as a competition between trump and president Obama, but hopefully with more information, you'll be better informed.

Where has the blocking ambulances stuff come from? Were the kids on the street with the intention of blocking them or was it an accident? If it was an accident, do you believe any form of public protest, which is one of the tenets of free speech should be allowed?

Is this a serious question?

Only people directly affected by issues have the right to stand against them?

No accident...protestors waving others into the path of the ambulance as other protestors cheer and clap if they aint filming on thier phones....have a look, get yourself better informed.

You see, I'm not impervious to outside information. If this is true, then I agree that's not a good thing to do and they should be prosecuted.

Have you got a link?

Have you looked at the link that I provided to you?

Yeah i looked...not sure what a meeting with grieving families would achieve without teachers being there but still..it was behind closed doors so i guess we will never know.

Trump needed a cheat sheet to remind him to show empathy.

[AnnieK]

I don't know how many fatalities there has to be before America admit the problem, my guess is many more.

When I worked in the States in 97 there was a fatal murder suicide of a lifeguard at the community pool by her steriod addled boyfriend with a legally owned gun in front of families and young children. It was awful, there was outcry, kids were traumatised and most people reacted by further arming themselves. One guy told me he had bought a higher powered gun as the one he had would just make a gunman more pissed off if he shot him with it. For most Americans they believe it is their right to bear arms and so they do....how anyone would begin to tackle the problem there is beyond me.

I'm not arguing , it does not matter if weapons have evolved people will not give up their weapons, my brother has family in Texas on his wife's side they have said they hide their weapons if any law was ever passed to limit them.
