I can't be the only one that feels the fascination - more like fetish - over guns in some areas of the usa results in loss of too many [young] lives. . Not my Image : fair use & public education.

Sorry, but the secret service slipped up - the roof the attacker was on was higher --- it should have had sniper / protection detail up there. It seems that there were other failures as well [not to mention PN being "open carry" ???] . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Donald_Trump_in_Pennsylvania . not my image : fair use & public education

So, 39 mass shootings [ie with 4 or more deaths / serious injuries] in the first 24 days of 2023. Still think those "gun laws" are OK ? . Not my Image : fair use & public information

Meme commentating on the "Thoughts and Prayers" that appear after mass shooting incidents, especially in the good ol' US of A. Personally, I wish they would do something to "fix" their gun laws. . . Not my Image : fair use & public information

Aftermath of the Uvalde mass school shooting [2 teachers & 19 elementary school students - shot dead by one brat] . . Not my Image : Fair Use & public information

Yet again, another mass shooting at a school in the USA. 24th May 2022, in Uvalde, Texas. Victims were 2 teachers & 19 elementary schoolkids shot & killed by 1 brat with a gun. So, the USA will go around the cycle yet again. The NRA will throw enough money & mis-information to prevent the gun control lobby achieving any result, despite public opinion in the immediate aftermath. . .

Another school shooting in the good ol' US of A. (18th May 2018). Two teachers and 8 students died, another 13 were wounded. Remember Dunblane school massacre, on 13 March 1996 ? (One teacher and 16 primary school children were murdered) Not long afterwards the UK banned private ownership of most hand guns. Excluding terrorist attacks, the Cumbria Shootings on 2nd June 2010 and the previous spree at Hungerford on 19 August 1987 have been the only such mass shooting events in the UK).

webfind - and very much to the point. (13 March 1996 was the date of the Dunblane school massacre, so excluding terrorist attacks, the Cumbria Shootings on 2nd June 2010 and the previous spree at Hungerford on 19 August 1987 have been the only such events in the UK *) source: Dunblane Humanists.

[excluding the perpetrator, and he shot himself].
