I wish we lived in a world where weapons didn't exist, but the fact is that we do. And if weapons exist, there will be people that abuse those weapons and hurt other people with them. That's unavoidable.

Taking away guns means no deaths?

Then why are knife crimes and violent deaths on the rise in the UK?

you said in that situation, which there wouldlnt be. Of course knives can be used. But there wouldnt have been 17 deaths now would there?

Teachers are there to teach, not enter a shootout with a mad man. Maybe y'all need bullet proof doors and windows in schools with panic buttons.

I also don't understand the reasoning behind thinking that taking guns away would have suddenly saved those people. Do you honestly believe that if that kid didn't have a gun, that nobody would have gotten hurt/killed when he finally went through with his threats?

well yes! no guns= no death. Thats pretty obvious. The UK has very tight restrictions on guns, do you know how many mass killings we have had here? 0. why? because after Dunblane, we changed the law.

Its easier to run or defend yourself from a guy with a knife than a guy with an assault rifle and several magazines.

I just can't understand your point of view, it has no rationale.

31 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2016.

How many were killed by guns in 2016? 15,000 http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/past-tolls

The difference with dogs is we are constantly challenging legislations to make dog ownership safer, as well as the welfare of the dogs. The US seem to have no interest in changing anything regarding guns

So itโ€™s better to stop people hurting themselves than hurting other people?

But why would the gunman be restricted? He had no criminal record.

So I assume that the other answer to this problem would be to arm everyone. Allow everyone Iโ€™ve 18 to carry a weapon.

Americans must be the most paranoid bunch of people I have ever known.

One think I have learned in the last few weeks is that failure is super important in growth.
