Tristan SnellIn 1996, a gunman slaughtered 16 kids and a teacher in Dunblane, Scotland. After a public outcry, the UK passed common sense gun laws.
In the 27 years since then, the UK has had ZERO school shootings.
John Caveney woke is međ ď¸@tristansnell Dear NRA this is how you do it. Works much better than thoughts and prayers.
Sean@jaycee @tristansnell So the unfortunate thing is the NRA are completely uninterested in public safety, they are entirely about owning guns. So their response to this will be âif only teachers had gunsâ, âthere should be cops in schoolsâ or vague finger pointing at âmental healthâ
Ironically theyâre doing this against their own interests. If they were willing to compromise (background checks, licenses) theyâd see a decrease or stabilisation in gun crime. However theyâre going to push and push until the public completely turn against them, and then theyâll have to fight total bans.
@smcl @tristansnell Total bans are the only way. Unfortunately there are so many guns of all kinds in the USA now it will take decades to enforce once the will is there to amend the second. Itâs incredible to me that the vast majority wonât understand that the âfounding fathersâ couldnât possibly have foreseen the weaponry available today. And the right to bear arms is no longer necessary in the way it once may have been. Even thatâs debatable in my opinion.
