Melbourne Man Killed in Oklahoma: What in God's Name is The World Coming To? (1 Viewer)

[Rob]

No.

As in not a chance.

And there will be more mass shootings in this country and there's nothing God can do about it.

Well said George. I was starting to think it was not possible to have a discussion on s genuine problem without it being turned into some bizzare nationalistic discussion about evil redcoats , revolutions etc etc. Panzer Ace is in the NRA and he can discuss it in an adult fashion too!

There are two things in this country that cannot be discussed without a @#$#%storm erupting;

a.)Gun control
b.)American Civil War

Learn it.
Live it.
Know it.

Well said George! But I like to think there are plenty of decent Americans (including my family^&grin) who CAN talk about the ACW/slavery without saying ' O h yeah, well you had the Plague in Britain!' ^&grin:wink2:

three teens — ages 15, 16 and 17 — saw him pass a house they were in. They allegedly got in a car, followed Lane and shot him.

Sound familiar. Where is the Reverend Al Sharpton to decry this murder. Where is President Obama saying Christopher Lane could have been my own son. Where is CNN and NBC to make up reasons why Christoper Lane should not have been jogging at 3 pm. Where is Sunny Hostin with her biased opinions. Where is the uproar, the rallies, the demonstrations over this?

Gun control does absolutely zero in decreasing gun violence. Our societal makeup is on the decline. Too many kids born to single parent homes. Parents working crappy jobs to make ends meet, leaving kids to fend for themselves. To many emotionally disturbed stressed people let out into society. Kids pushed through the school system then get into the real world where they are ill equipped to function in society. Just to name a few.

When these bozos were asked why they did this, answer: "We were bored". Time to start culling the herd.

The parents of the victim are shipping the body back to OZ.....Maybe they should send the parents of the 3 killers the bill.

In this great country, in just about every state, in every city and every county you have to have a license to fish but anyone can have a child.

US gun laws are an internal matter and non-Americans should respect that.
Americans should also accept that the rest of the world has a slightly different view on the issue and respect that.
It does however get harder and harder for the rest of the world to muster up a bit of obligatory grief and sympathy when next mass shooting incident happens.

Why not?

 

[Combat]

The interesting thing in this debate is that the number of murders in the US has actually dropped significantly in the last decade to historic lows. You would never get that impression from the media.
