Michigan police say that several people have died following random shootings in Kalamazoo. Local media reports up to 6 people have died in the shootings and police are looking for a white male suspect.

Sad news . :-(

Another crazy that wasn't controlled.

Crazy? Yes!

If a sane person can't understand why the action was taken ...

America's crazy control on display again, more failure of Obamacare.

Those wishing to disarm the State of Texas, raise your hand.
Those wishing to disarm all citizens of the USA, raise your hand.

There being no raised hands, the measure fails.

Wasn't a relevant question to what was proposed, so no wonder there are no raised hands.

No kidding. :)

The above two questions. Are what many Americans believe to be the real position of many proposing Sane Gun Regulations.

And they are correct.

Then, in a way, you've finally answered one of mt questions from a few months ago.
You believe there's the left and right of the people and there's the left and right of the politicians.
Yes? No?

Speaking in general terms, with many, many, many exceptions.

The Majority of the USA's Population are not Left/Right Wing.

The Majority are Centrist (in American terms) . With some beliefs Right-of-Center, and others Left-of-Center.

Generally... The Democrat Party was American Left-of-Center/Liberal. And the Republican Party American Right-of-Center/Conservative.

They were not Ideological, in European Terms.

Now... The Democrat Party appears to have been high jacked by their Left Wing. And the majority of Americans are reacting with switching their votes to the Republicans.

The Republican Party has taken over most State Governorships. Most State Legislatures. The Federal House of Representatives, and The Senate. They are in position to claim the Presidency.

Sarge...

To understand American Political Culture. Study Franklin Roosevelt's 'New Deal' Democrat Coalition. Very successful for 40 years.

It included the KKK, Blacks, Atheists, Religious Fanatics, Marxists, Unions, Capitalists, etc.

It'd be more a matter of re-studying it, as it has been a long time.
Though I am aware that the Religious Right became on the Right sometime between the '60s and '80s.

A second one in only a week wow guns don't kill people . Gun of choice a Assault rifle wonder how many would have been injured if he didn't have access to a assault rifle .

No problem with everyone having a gun is there ....na !!!

Then why can't you have bombs as there a weapon and you can use them for self protection , shorly they should be allowed too after all bombs don't kill people it's the one that has the trigger that does the killing .......

Another multiple deaths incident.

Given America's Gun Culture, and Constitutional Protection regarding an Individual's Right to Possess Guns:

Practical Solution?

you could just drop the 2nd and be civilized your right to bare arms is still there and has always been there .

Why do you lot have a copy of the magna carta in your national capital ?

Then just ban all the assault or Military type use of weapons , police checks to make it very hard for crim's to get them , licencing to track them if there used in a crime , just a few ideas .

---

Stomping ones feet, and calling Americans and their Culture (fill-in the negatives). Is not part of any solution

Maybe it is if enough of you realise just how dumb the whole thing is .

Shameful , America just , Shameful and public shame is the in thing theses days so here's hoping you'll all see the error of your ways and return back to the good side of the force instead of becoming one of the Antichrist's soldiers :)

now back to 2001 space oddassy where hal 9000 has just been deactivated by Dave

Darth...
Since neither you, nor I, have a practical or realistic solution:
Does anyone else have one?

- Sweden is said to be the fifth weapons densest country in the world relative to population - after the United States, Yemen, Finland and Canada, says Carina Vangstad, firearms officer of the National Police.

Close to two million registered firearms found in Swedish households in a country with 10 million inhabitants.
But we have hardly any mass shootings neither here nor Finland and Canada.

So the problem is probably not the amount of weapons but a cultural difference.
It will probably take generations before the United States changes its attitude to arms.

Jan I would say you have to be careful comparing America with other country's

First can you buy Assault rifles like in America ?

Everyone is licenced in Sweden this is not the case in America

Does Sweden have the death penalty ? You may think it doesn't matter but it does .

And seeing as only 1 in 5 have a weapon from your stats it's not the same .

The N.R.A talk about how every time there is a mass shooting they sell heaps more weapons .mmmm

While watching a current affair new program the other day about this the film crew go to a gun fair and there is a meeting buy the N.R.A .

The guy gets up and says hands up how many of you own guns everyone puts there hand up he then says how many have more than five guns and about 80% still have there hand up.

So when the N.R.A say there is a weapon for every man women and child I say B/S you have a small amount of people that have most of the guns .

So unless there is 1.5 trillion weapons then the % of the American people with guns because they want them is nowhere near what the N.R.A say

N.R.A are full of crap and so are there one line slogans that only idiots listen to

"The only way to stop a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun " f-ing morons still going with that one even thou it's already been proven to be total B/S

N.R.A stand for No Responsible Adults or No Righteous Americans or how about Nazi's Rule America

---

ops retraction here .

Not 1.5 trillion guns but 1.5 billion guns

---

First can you buy Assault rifles like in America ?

No. Only the military and the police are allowed to own assault rifles.
But thats doesn't stop bad guys to get them from states like Russia and the Balcan states.

Everyone is licenced in Sweden this is not the case in America

Licenced? Sort of. The only reason I can think of not to get a licens is if you have a criminal record.

Does Sweden have the death penalty ? You may think it doesn't matter but it does.

Not all US states have the death penalty but mass shootings occurs anyway.

And seeing as only 1 in 5 have a weapon from your stats it's not the same .

In the US, there are two weapons per three residents.
Thats crazy. But if you look at the stats there would be much more killings than for instance in Sweden.

My opinion though is that the Second Amendment in the US Constitution should be revised.
It has been changed before and could be changed again.
Holding pathetic talks like this is ridiculously.

NASHVILLE — Tennessee now has an official gun, but you'd just be firing blanks if you think it's Davy Crockett's "Old Betsy" flintlock or the M1917 Enfield rifle famously used by Sgt. Alvin York during World War I.

Instead, the state Senate gave final approval and made a modern-day Tennessee-manufactured rifle, now used by U.S. military snipers, its official rifle.

Senators voted 27-1 for House Joint Resolution 231. It designates the Barrett Model M82/M107, a recoil-operated, .50-caliber, semi-automatic rifle developed by Tennessee native Ronnie Barrett as the Volunteer State's official rifle.

Guns & sicko's...

Probably Domestic (Young children 'spared') .

Time will tell.

Someone in that family really pissed off someone.

All of the victims are members of a family called Rhoden,

Does this wording indicate immigrant? Perhaps some score to be settled from the home country?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The slayings of eight family members in rural southern Ohio were sophisticated, planned executions, authorities said Sunday, as they also revealed that several marijuana-growing operations were found at the crime scenes.

A bit of a nee jerk reaction by the sheriff telling people they need weapons to protect them self's .

From what ??

It was a mafia hit pure and simple only the adults where killed not the kids so nobody else would be shot unless they where involved with there pot growing operations .

I say sack the sheriff for causing a public panic for no reason.

It wasn't that big a grow operation. Now the cock fighting, that brings out passions and the bets can get huge. Someone thinks a match is fixed and ... .

Sheriff is correct. BTW he only told the some 100 plus relatives of those killed to arm themselves, not everyone.

Oh, the mafia does not leave a next generation alive to hunt them down some years later. They know about that.

The Public (aka The People) have already armed themselves 'To The Teeth'.

They are not mindless robots (at least in America). Listening to either the idiots of The Left or Right.

Just think all them guns and still they couldn't protect them self's so how does owning a gun protect you again ...please explain this .....
