Kid, do you always have to do this? Mentioning that is only going to derail the topic at hand and turn it into a UK versus USA debate yet again.

Give it a rest.

no, having people constantly saying that somehow the US gun laws are responsible for this type of thing turns it into a US/UK thing. I'm simply throweing it back in the faces of all those idiots that use these types of tragedies to make it a US/UK thing by talking about gun laws.

Every single story from the US get's a myriad of responses from brits who says.. well look, it's the gun laws that make the US have this kind of violence, i'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I'm not the one that needs to "give it a rest". I'm the one putting things into perspective.

The UK has its problems. No one can deny that. The fact that people say that the UK has better rules than the USA in terms of guns - right or wrong it may be - absolutely does not mean that the UK is exempt from gun crime and anyone who thinks otherwise clearly needs to get an education.

bettering my understanding? I agreed that the UK has plenty of problems and that gun laws have not solved any problems for the UK.

Believe me, gun crime is not the problem in the UK.

Your attitude is a problem. Along with your plethora of hypocritical traits and absurd, tedious and ill-informed statements.

One incident absolutely does not mean that our laws against gun use is in trouble, as has been said numerous times.

If you compare the amount of gun crime in the UK to the USA, you'll see there's no merit in your ridiculous and stupid argument.

Get a grip. And an education.
