  1. That was within his party and it is obvious he would lose another one. If Labour introduces a non confidence motion in Parliament, it will pass and the Conservatives will be toast in the resulting election. The Conservatives have to get rid of him before that happens.
  2. You really haven't been paying attention. Brits have. Go figure.
  3. Of course it is so Americans need to keep making sure they are easy for crazy people to buy legally.
  4. Very comforting to all the victims I'm sure. It isn't about you.
  5. He has a 23% approval rating. The people of Uxbridge have even had enough of him. If there is a non confidence vote and an election, he will probably lose his own seat.
  6. We sure as hell better try. It was the RCMP who killed him. You may love the idea of a post apocalyptic world where everyone walks around like Mad Max, armed to the teeth but hardly anyone else does.
  7. There is a lot we can do but the US has jumped the shark. They have saturated their country with guns and now they are screwed.
  8. Big fucking deal. The subject isn't the military. We certainly want mass shooters to have the best tools possible.
  9. Of course not but it is the #1 choice of those who do shoot up schools, supermarkets, concerts, parades, neighbourhoods etc.
  10. AR-15 gets a big thumbs up from your neighbourhood mass murderer. Gun control is very popular in Canada, the only thing debatable is the degree of control.
  11. For sure it gets a big thumbs up from mass murderers.
  12. https://www.cbc.ca/news/boris-johnson-uk-resignation-lies-1.6513075 People finally got tired of do as I say, not as I do.
  13. He had an M1 carbine, not a Garand. Surely you know he difference.
  14. Does it matter. 18 died and 31 were wounded. You guys are from Mars. An AR 15 has an effective range of more than double a M1 carbine. You are an army guy, you should know this shit.
  15. He had 96 minutes from the time he started shooting till the time he was shot. Just think how much damage he could have done with something like an AR 15. There were no SWAT teams anywhere in the US in 1966. Are you guys from Mars?
  16. In 96 minutes he could have killed 100 people with a single shot rifle.
  17. I picked 2021 because it was the most recent. Pick any year, I dare ya. Australia has had no mass shootings in the 26 years since it tightened its laws. The crazy managed to legally get his hands on 5 weapons. That is supposed to be some kind of argument?
  18. Look it up for yourself. Whitman started shooting at 11:48 and was finally killed at 13:24. He also had more than a bolt action rifle. He had several other weapons including two handguns a shotgun and a M1 carbine.
  19. I worked with a guy who used to shoot wild pigs with a bow and arrow. He also got a brown bear when he was living in Alaska.
  20. The justice department brings charges, not parties. Justice departments are always reluctant to bring charges against presidents because of the precedent it might set. However if there is enough evidence, they may not have a choice without discrediting themselves.
  21. Of course you picked 2011, that's the year 77 people were killed in one shooting in Norway. When it comes to Australia, you would probably pick 1996, ignoring the fact there hasn't been a mass shooting since. When it comes to bullshit tricks, you are second to none. Getting rid of semi auto assault weapons like the AR-15 would be a good start when it comes to reducing fatalities.
  22. The crime was to kill police, not rob a bank. They made no attempt to rob the bank. They may not prevent shootings but they can sure as hell reduce the carnage. It was a SWAT team that took out the Uvalde shooter, the local police did nothing.
  23. Killing police was the intended crime.
