I think America similar to Britain is now at the point where the only things holding it together are vague senses of identity, in their case the right to bear arms is one of them

How can anyone think it's a sane situation when the best option is to suggest increasing armed security in schools? Does he park a tank outside every school in America?

There was famous a Texas radio jock on 5 Live yesterday and he pretty much said the same thing. Keep the guns, because they need the guns! Fortify the schools.
It’s not like Britain at all - I don’t think there’s any common identity across America today (if there ever was one) and the right to bar arms certainly isn’t part of it. Although I do think people tend to understate just how much popular support there is for a basic right to bear arms, and overstate the role of the NRA in sustaining that.

In the wake of another school massacre, Ted Cruz doesn't want to talk about gun control. He instead wants to talk about door control.

The police, the ultimate ‘good guys with guns’, refused to enter the building during the shooting and stopped anyone going in.

Shmmee posted a good article on this the other day - people love to compare the UK with the US, but they’re totally different. British national identity/social cohesion isn’t uniform (no country is) but it’s far, far stronger than it is in the US. You’d expect as much in a country that spans an entire continent and is more than 40 times larger than ours!

To be honest in the U.S. they'd probably treat guns like 'assistance animals'.

Also see Trump went off on a 'fuck Ukraine, let's look after our own kiddies. Except for passing laws that would make it much, much harder for this happen, because that's too much."

Has sleepy Joe banned guns yet? Or is he still in a coma?

Have the Republicans woken up and realised they need to be? Or do they still think a meal deal is burgers, drink and a sidearm?

I can’t imagine American police officers doing…..actually nevermind

2 of the kids at the Texas school shooting recently were decapitated!..... and another was only identifiable by the trainers they were wearing.....
.....such is the force of an automatic assault rifle that the pricks won't ban, raise the age limit from 18 or even have background checks on....yet you have to be 21 to buy a pack of ciggies.....
Backward nation.

Juul: US bans all products from leading vaping company
Authorities say they do not have enough data to be sure Juul's e-cigarettes meet health standards.

On the same day………Can’t have our teens at risk of taking up vaping, that would be dangerous. Also they won’t have room in their pockets for their device, what with the lethal handgun they’re allowed to carry around with them.

That’s the consequence of the Democrats putting zero effort in to obstruct new appointments to the SC in contrast to how the Republicans did it in Obama’s last term.
They’ll be ruling in favour of the right for decades
