Just seen the Obama press conference on this, the absolute right words at the right time.

Good words from Obama, although it won't make any difference.  He'll be back on that podium making a similar speech before long.  ::)  :'(

Any coincidence that cannabis use is legal in the State of Oregon :-\

The legality of cannabis in Oregon isn't a factor, as cannabis is not legal in Louisiana, South Carolina, Connecticut etc etc etc  ::)

Cannabis itself might be a factor however.  :(  But then whiskey, beer, meths, glue, Republican attitudes might all be factors too.  ::)

It is long overdue for us to take back the colonies and make a few changes. Language, gun laws, raise speed limits , real ale and so on

I love that gun laws are on the same level as real ale. You get my vote!

Unfortunately, mental illness and guns are a bad combination. In virtually all cases troubled, loner son has access to guns and to 'get noticed' uses them. Better screening and home security would help without compromising the right to bare arms and a safe hobby for 99.99% of the population.

The other popular route for 'loner troubled son' is to join ISIS or their ilk or to produce a few bombs to 'get noticed'.

The chances of any form of gun control in the US are non-existent. If any law was introduced, it would only be the law-abiding that would hand in their weapons. Those who have criminal tendencies simply wouldn't abide by such a law.

Also, given the rise of extremism (with urban street attacks becoming ever more frequent), there is even less chance of controls being accepted by the masses (not just the NRA).

Anyway, it's their country and they can do as they like.  ;)

Yet another senseless crime,feel sorry for families of the victims and as it happens for the family of the perpetrator too.One female gave an interview after Obama had had his say,her friend had been shot in the stomach,but she said Obama had it wrong and that there should be more guns with everyone carrying them and knowing how to use them to defend themselves and if this was the case then all these shootings would stop :o

Obama got his speech spot on, but I doubt there is much even he can do.

If a Muslim or such did this, they would be a massive out cry, questions asked, all kinds. But then it's a local person, it's just put down to "one nutter" and everyone moves on. Just have to wait for the next one  :-\
