aa777888 - so envisage the likely bloodbath if the residents of London had been carrying weapons and started shooting at everyone who looked like a terrorist - yes, guns were used to stop him - but by trained and very well regulated people.
Imagine worse - that the terrorist had been able to freely access guns at his local store with only a cursory safety check - starts to make you understand the severity of mass shootings in the US doesn't it?
Yes, bad people do bad things - but only with the weapons they have available to them.
Ted Cruz's answer to mass shootings has been to allow more guns in churches and campuses - please explain the logic?
Yes, I know this is off topic but gun control related to helicopters appears to have been a major factor in this accident and related to the reason for the flight in the first place.
aa77788 - also please note that I wasn't the first to make any comments on this thread personal.
