The Phantom Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Interesting to see that after two back to back gun massacres, Serbia is going to crack down massively on gun ownership and significant buy-backs of weapons have been announced. NZ did something similar after their own massacre. However NZ hadn't had a fairly major war there within the last 20 years. Surely there are going to be ALOT of guns floating around in Serbia following that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De nada Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Texas A gunman has shot and killed eight people shopping at a mall north of Dallas, Texas, emergency services say. Hundreds of people were evacuated from the mall in the city of Allen, as eyewitnesses described a man firing indiscriminately at passers-by. Police said they shot the gunman dead and believe he acted alone. A three-year-old boy and his parents, two elementary school children and a young engineer from India have been named as victims of a shooting attack in Texas on Saturday. James Cho died alongside his parents Cho Kyu Song, 37, and Kang Shin Young, 35, according to reports. His six-year-old brother was injured but survived. The identifications comes as officials probe whether the killer had links to any far-right organisations or beliefs. Several victims remain in hospital. Allen Fire Chief Jonathan Boyd said seven people - including the gunman - were pronounced dead at the scene and two died later in hospital. A police officer "heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect and neutralised the suspect", Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said. The victims' ages range from 5 to 51, according to a hospital spokesperson. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65515915 Most adults aged 21 or over in Texas are allowed to carry a handgun without a licence, unless they have a previous conviction. In addition, there are few restrictions on possession of rifles and shotguns. Republicans control the Texas state legislature. In the US so far this year there have been at least 198 mass shootings in which four or more people were killed or wounded Edited May 8, 2023 by De nada .

Marjorie Taylor Green was quicker to say this was all down to mental health Issues. No doubt Ted Cruz will be along soon to say there were too many doors in the Mall. Greg Abott has had nothing to say so far - but then - it's been a busy week for him and guns. No doubt he will be sending thoughts and prayers very soon.

Zarley Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 3 hours ago, De nada said: In the US so far this year there have been at least 198 mass shootings in which four or more people were killed or wounded We're currently on day 127 of 2023 so there have been 71 more mass shootings in the US than days so far this year. I'm grateful to live in a place where I don't have to worry if anyone I walk past is packing a gun and ready to start shooting, and where children don't have to practice active shooter drills at school. The US has gone mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
