USA, Canada /
Several shot at Northern Illinois University, USA [38]
your free to keep a pistol in your house for protection,or free to take a rifle/shotgun into the woods to shoot fluffy bunnies and Bambi etc,but,you step out onto the street with a gun and your not a law enforcement officer,you get shot or arrested by said law enforcement agencies.
that is exactly the way the law is here now.
And whats with all the frikkin assault rifles and sporting SMGs?.....
I believe these are outlawed. The gunman used a hunting shotgun, Remington 12 gauge. It's a bird hunting shotgun, it shoots pellets not bullets. That's what I have and accidentally it's the most popular firearm in USA and Canada.
publicity seeking nut jobs seem to be the main culprits
Agree. This one apparently had stopped taking some drugs and that flipped him over...
how on Earth do you get the people of the United States to hand in their guns? It's impossible.
That's true. I may be willing to give up my shotgun, but not an average American (not yet). It does seem to be happening, only s;lowly, step by step. I think it went similarly in Australia. There was Brady bill in the 90's (ban on the assault guns), there was federal waiting period to by a gun... etc
PS. It's a terrible tragedy anyway you look at it and my hart goes out to the victims.
