  all automatic and semi-automatic rifles and most handguns are banned for public use in Iceland.

  So? Iceland has a total population less than most small cities and much lower rates of gun ownership.

  They don't have the same social issues that the US does. So what is the point of comparing them?

  But even so, they still have lots of guns but few to no gun related homicides. Almost like it's not caused by the guns existing ...

  Why not, if you want to do that, compare individual cities in the US and then look at why some are like the worse shit-hole country war zones and others are perfectly nice places to live. Even though all exist in the same gun-owning country.

  RESOLUTE BANDICOOT:

  That’s good. I hate when certain people in the U.S. try to make comparisons with small countries in Europe when discussing the gun issue, etc.

  There are vastly more people here in the U.S. and an unknown number have serious problems both social and mental. And it’s too bad if anybody doesn’t like me for saying this. A lot of people won’t touch this topic with a ten-foot pole..It’s hopeless.

  Bottom line: if the sad day ever came that guns were ‘banned’..(and don’t say ‘assault rifles’ because it would start there) everybody can rest assured that every criminal and lowlife here would have guns. Yes, they would be armed to the teeth!!

  The only people who would NOT have guns would be the average law-abiding, tax paying citizens who are the most vulnerable and preyed upon. They would be sitting ducks for anything! The only recourse they would have would be to call the police 🤣. Yeah. Maybe the cops would come, maybe not. Maybe they’d get the wrong house. Good luck with that scenario, everybody.

  This thing just continues to get worse.

  Details now show there were nearly 400, yes FOUR HUNDRED, law enforcement people at the school. All useless cunts. Everyone and his dog was there, but no one was in charge or made any decisions other than to sit on their hands. These all no doubt act big and tough when stopping people at other times, but when it really mattered they were lacking.

  The school itself also bears heavy responsibility with lax security and not sticking to rules there to protect against precisely this thing, because what? It would be slightly "inconvenient" to shut a door? Well done, you cunts failed those kids too.

  @Simon: It's amazing. My position has always been that there should be armed individuals, preferably conceal carry, some in uniform, some not.

  But if the security isn't ready to make the hard choice and shoot the shooter in the face, then what good are they?

  There should be a movie made to commemorate the UTTER cowardice displayed in Uvalde County that Day.

  The accounts of batf, fbi, hs, all showing up make me wonder.

  A local problem is LOCAL. let the police handle it at the start. In this case they should ask for help from sheriffs, other towns, texas rangers, but it is theirs. The investigative forces can come in later.

  In reality sheriffs only are the elected law.

  Side note; the local metro area has a dozen police forces, each with a swat. The metro college, city college, state university all in the core city also have a swat. Do you really think the city will not send in their armored car if needed?

  That indiana mall shooting shows the up side of a competent citizen with a gun. And he did not do a barney fife and try to clear the perps gun. Last year another scenario got the good guy killed because he did not quit handling guns.
