So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

This has gotten out of hand. Today's shooting has been the worst since Virginia Tech, and this one was with children. All because someone was able to easily obtain a killing, MAN killing machine.
No other 1st world country has ROUTINE massacres like the United States. If we don't have a major one every 6 months, that's a miracle.
Many people who are gun enthusiasts here believe they should be allowed access to these weapons because they're fun to use. Would you rather have fun, or have continuous shootings routinely in your country?
Others argue that if everyone had had guns, it wouldn't have been has bad. Are children gonna carry guns? Out west in the cowboy age, when people got into towns they had to turn their weapons in. Why? No one wanted drunk cowboys destroying the settlement. And that was in the 19th century.
Why doesn't England have such bad massacres? Italy? Spain? Germany? Japan? China? Russia? Because they have strict gun laws to prevent them. The only major foreign shooting that I can think of is the one in Norway a few years ago, but that was not as terrible as the one today and was a planned terrorist attack.
Just my opinion.
Your facts are way off. Here is the list of highest gun related deaths by country.

The US comes in at ninth. The worst country has over 5x the gun deaths. And you think the US has a lot of tragedies and mass killings? Couldn't be more wrong, go live in countries like Israel where there is a suicide bombing every two weeks. In fact I believe the US is dead last in the target of terrorist attacks.
I wish you read my thread. I'm talking 1st world countries. Not only does Israel not fall into that category, but it's also a war zone. Plus you linked to a group.
