Let's debunk another myth too...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers:_School_massacresSo in the worst school massacres contrary to simplistic propaganda....73% occurred outside of America.
If you wish to we can look at the absolute worst, you will see the individual caused the death and destruction through explosives, not with hand guns.Right, I said 27% of the top 30 massacres occurred in America and if you want to widen it to just the western world...23% of these school massacres have occurred in the western world outside of america
last year, some dude had a backyard BBQ and poured drano in everyones drink. 24 people dead. BAN DRANO!
The only stuff that makes the UK press regarding shootings in America are the massacres.

If the ONLY gun related news you receive about the US are massacres then I'd probably feel the same way as you. Does the media ever really report when people in the US are able to defend themselves with guns in your media? No.About 15 years ago, some asshole came in and tried to rob my dad in his shop. Luckily my dad had a gun on him and as soon as the robber saw him pull it out and point it at him, he got the fuck outta there. This same guy got caught a few months later and he had killed a few people prior to robbing them in the past. The fact that my dad had a gun in his shop is the reason why he's probably still alive today. The cops weren't gonna save him at that moment. And guess what? Even if guns were banned in the US and my dad couldn't own a legally registered gun, the dude robbing people had a number of stolen guns in his possession.Now tragedies do happen with the legalization of guns. So does that mean we should give the government the right to take away people's right to defend themselves in their places of businesses and their own homes? Hell no, because what exactly does any government really do efficiently?The fact of the matter is, even in light of something horrific like the elementary school shooting, the positives of legal gun ownership still outweighs the negative. It has saved countless lives, and yes, it had led to some fucked up situations too.
