28 Dead After Shooting At Connecticut Elementary School

[KaraK [T]]

To be fair... There are a lot more people living in the US than there are in Western countries.
Thus many more retards walking around who are able to get a gun.

Here's a nice article, about the mass shooting incidents in the last 25 years.

16 incidents (17 with this one included). 6 out of 17 happened in the USA, 9 happened in Europe, 1 in Asia and 1 in Australia.

Right now, there are 314,949,477 people living in the US. 502,519,900 people were living in the EU on January 1st, 2011. (And 33,400,000 living in Canada, just for Sinoco's argument)

You're all saying how America is stupid to have these gun laws which fail to prevent shootings, but if you look at what I wrote above, the EU has the same problem.
You're all talking here like you've forgotten what happened in Norway, or Germany a few years back.

Why has this thread turned into some sort of political debate about gun laws in the US? Surely this thread was made to raise awareness of what happened, and not to discuss how the US should solve this problem. Every country has this problem, however as the US is so much bigger than Britain, there's more possibility of it occuring over there.
