Hey Cnut237, do you realize how our preconceptions make us filter the facts? Faced with this mass shooting fact, my response has been "no, we don't need more regulations." and your response has been "we need more public funding."

Who would have thought it, lol.

Yes, I noticed that.

Health provision in the UK is publicly funded*. We need better mental health provision. So we need more public funding. It doesn't necessarily have to be new money, just redirecting some of the £205 billion they use for spending on phallic metaphors might be a good start.

And more stringent rules on gun ownership (such as, no-one is allowed to own a gun), might also be a sensible idea. There is no need for anyone in the UK to own a gun. We don't have dangerous wildlife, no bears or hippos etc. You don't need an AK-47 to fend off a disgruntled pigeon.

*yes, by the taxpayer.

You were doing pretty good with the mental health funding.

But you lost me with the l such as no-one is allowed to own a gun) proposition.

So no-one as in cops and military with out guns.

So I don't think you meant that.

You meant no civilians correct ?
