Judging by the "shoot em up if they try and take my guns off me attitude you claim you lot have over there, the Brits probably left on their own accord.

They were sort of asked to leave and they did. The facts are that it was going to start costing them so they cut bait....really as simple as that if you want the facts. Decision to leave had nothing to do with gun possession laws.

Todays news, child aged 2..yes 2, shoots a 4 year old by accident.


Accident, what the hell is a 2 year old child doing with a loaded gun.

The USA is totally unbalanced, and the ones who "need guns" need to give their heads a wobble.

People are shot all over the world every day...of all ages too...not just a USA problem.

No its not Okay but to try and portray gun violence as a USA problem is foolish many countries have greater gun problems than the USA!

USA obviously does have a gun problem but they love their guns more than their children.

Exactly like I said RoyBoy...can happen anywhere in this crazy new world we have created. Not limited to USA.

There is a gun problem there...no one has denied that. You should not be too quick to condemn though....I believe, from memory, the village was called Dunblane.

And the response to Dunblane was the tightening of gun laws in the UK.

No such response in the USA.

Hence my statement that they love their guns more than their children.
