Multiple dead in TDKR showing

Not being smart...

But why couldn't that happen in England? They figured out how to spot crazy?

They have more stringent gun laws over there. They are 1/6th our size but the gun homicide rates are 9,000 per US to 60 in the UK. The non gun homicide rates are almost identical so people still kill at the same rate when guns aren't involved.

Less occurrences....but you can't stop evil with gun laws.

No u can't but u can make it more difficult.

Gun control should be a top priority in this country. It never will be though so sadly these types of things will just be something we have to deal with.

One thing I've noticed is these sort of things happen in groups. I'd be willing to bet that some sicko tries to copycat this.

Well, I am fine w/ stricter gun laws...but I don't think it will impact these over the top "shows" sickos plan. Those are also the ones the country gets caught up in.

Many of these sickos would have no problem obtaining the same weapons w/ stricter gun laws. Most of the people who wake up and go on killing sprees aren't your standard criminals w/ a rap sheet.

Yep...that accounted for 1/4-1/3 of the gun homicides in the UK that year.

So you admit that you were wrong when you said that this type of incident wouldn't happen in the UK? :)

Gun control law discussions come up every time an incident such as this occurs. But imo, stricter gun control laws will not prevent incidents like this. When someone is psycho, but with enough intelligence and a thin veneer of rationality, they can get what they need to do what they need. Gun control laws may make it more difficult, but if a psycho is determined, he or she will find a way to act. This guy could easily have made a bunch of molotov cocktails and killed even more people.

Stricter gun control laws would have more of an impact on heat of the moment killings, and perhaps on things liked armed robbery, but not so much on crazy ass psychos.

Cops should have just taken the dude out on the spot.

I read earlier this week that they shot some random guy because they busted in the wrong house and a guy had a remote or something and they killed an innocent person because they thought he had a gun?

Wtf cops
