O/T Busy night for the terrorists

Well Elite Donald cant really do anything about Las Vegas and Texas can he as they are both dead.

The guy in New York isn't dead and he is right he should face the death penalty but that should apply to anyone who does what he has done regardless of colour or relgion.

Here is the deal guns were/are a problem with Bush Jnr, Obama,Trump and guess what it will carry on when the next president is elected.

The money they make off the sales of guns is obviously the reason they are allowed as if honest nobody in society should have to walk round with a gun but then again I don't live in America.

He can't do anything about the perpetrators but he could do something about the problem. You give the main reason why he'll do absolutely nothing in your last sentence.

Correct he could try to but he would have to put it through congress and he wouldn't get backed.

Money is ALWAYS the driving factor in politics but to hear them speak they are doing it for US whoever us is !

One slight correction, Legs... short term money is the driving factor in politics. That's why he's signing out on climate change but by doing so the ultimate bill for the US in terms of hurricane and storm damage, pollution control and flooding will be far greater than the costs incurred by a worldwide drive to fix things.

As expected, Trump buries his head even deeper in the sand:

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, on a tour of Asia, said guns were not to blame for the shooting.

"We have a lot of mental health problems in our country, but this isn't a guns situation," he said.

An update on a post I made over a month ago:

Las Vegas shootings (58 victims) by a white American male - Trump eventually tweets his sympathy!

New York van attack (8 victims) by a suspected IS supporting immigrant - Trump tweets that "this degenerate animal should be given the death penalty", and "when they hit us we hit back 10 times harder".

Texas church shootings (26 victims) by a white American male - Trump tweets "...Americans do what we do best: we pull together. We join hands. We lock arms and through the tears and the sadness, we stand strong..."

All are vile acts from deranged individuals, but little Donald only seems keen on action in one case. When are you going to address the real big danger in America Donald, namely the laws on gun ownership? Oops I forgot, you can't take any action can you because the "mah right to bear arms" gun lunatics heavily fund your party!

It does not matter who the president is, or has been, or will be the way I see it. The fundamental right to bare arms is enshrined in the constitution, culture and fabric of American society. The production, sale and use of guns including hunting and/or recreation is an economy itself. That is the elephant in the room and will never change.

The question is will methods of gun control ever change?

Let's face it, Elite, being one of the mental health problems, he should know.

I think you could tell that Obama wanted to do something about it but just couldn't, he knew there was a problem and was fed up having to hold press conferences about mass shootings that he couldn't stop. In an ideal world he would have tried to do more if he thought it would be successful, Trump on the other hand couldn't care less and just wants to do and say whatever will please the majority of his backers/fans.

As I said to an american friend of mine, it's not about taking all the guns away (after he'd said it would be impossible, there's too many) it's about making them less accessible. Other than making money what reason is there to keep making and selling guns? That should be the first step before they take them away, just stop making them (for public use).
