Jon the Hat Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Unbelieveable! 1400 of our children raped by a bunch of muslim lunatics and not a peep out of you lot...some gun instructor in Arizona shot by accident and you're interested! I am still in shock about Rotherham. I even started to write a thread but I deleted it. You start, I will comment.
Captain... Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Unbelieveable! 1400 of our children raped by a bunch of muslim lunatics and not a peep out of you lot...some gun instructor in Arizona shot by accident and you're interested! It has been discussed on here, but the whole subject is too vile for me to really want to talk about it. The difference with this story is that there is a simple solution to prevent this sort of tragedy happening in the USA again, and again and again... ...don't give guns to kids, although if the kids in Rotherham had guns it may have been a different outcome. Edit: looks like the Rotherham thread was deleted.
bovril Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 In another 12 years she'll be able to drown her sorrows though. This sums it up.

BlueKnob Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Also, why and who posted the video online? The parents filmed the tragic accident, but why is it plastered over the internet? It can only have come from the parents or the police department as they would have access to the video. Releasing it doesn't respect the dead man, nor the poor girl who killed him. In fairness £250 from You've Been Framed is difficult to turn down.
Collymore Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 What type of mindset must the parents be in to both agree that taking your young daughter to shoot a machine gun is a good idea? I take a sigh when I see a child with a toy gun! I'm lost for words.
ScouseFox Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 what girl would ever want to play with a gun anyway
ScouseFox Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Unbelieveable! 1400 of our children raped by a bunch of muslim lunatics and not a peep out of you lot...some gun instructor in Arizona shot by accident and you're interested! difference being you won't find anyone who thinks what happened in Rotherham is ok and it happens on such a scale very rarely. It is disgusting and that is agreed by everyone I'd have thought. kids shooting people/being shot/playing with guns is "fun fun fun" in america and happens all the time. This man being shot by a 9 year old girl is just "an accident, shame, it's her right to shoot people though these things happen". Madness.
Collymore Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 She's actually shooting at a man target anyway. Why not use a standard archery style target?
Webbo Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 I doubt as anyone thinks that a 9 year old shooting someone is fun. I'd imagine most Americans would be shocked and against this. Cue somebody posting a YouTube video of Americans shooting something as if they represented all Americans.
ADK Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 I think it's partly so we can feel more civilised. We don't let our kids shoot guns we just let them get raped by Pakistanis.
Manwell Pablo Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Let them get on with what they want. We all know when it comes to guns the Americans are set in their ways. If Columbine, Blacksburg, and the numerous other mass shootings aren't enough to make them even consider changing their laws and attitudes when it comes to firearms I don't think an accident like this is even going to register on their radar.
Captain... Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 She's actually shooting at a man target anyway. Why not use a standard archery style target? She is shooting a weapon designed to kill humans efficiently and quickly, and she is most likely being shown how to use it for her own protection. I met an American girl from Colorado who at 12 had been shown by her Dad how to fire a handgun for her own protection. So naturally you would use human shaped targets.

An Uzi is not exactly the kind of a gun a woman would secrete in a handbag or in her knickers or stockings.
David Guiza Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 I've said this in a couple of other threads in here in the past. It's not the fact that American's allow firearms that is the problem, it's their education and morals. Switzerland, for example, have relaxed laws on gun ownership and the fatalities there are so small that it's not even on record. It just seems to be drilled into them that it's kill or be killed a lot of the time. Although, this is clearly an unusual case with no malice. http://www.guncite.com/swissgun-kopel.html
Rincewind Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 I would imagine there are stricter laws as to where and who you can buy firearms.
Manwell Pablo Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 I would imagine there are stricter laws as to where and who you can buy firearms. Switzerland? I don't think so, Switzerland is nuts, I think you're allowed to own an AK47? The obvious problem with the theory is comparing the USA to Switzerland is like comparing London to Rutland
leicsmac Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 I doubt as anyone thinks that a 9 year old shooting someone is fun. I'd imagine most Americans would be shocked and against this. Cue somebody posting a YouTube video of Americans shooting something as if they represented all Americans. I'm sure that the vast vast majority of them would be massively shocked and appalled by this. I think it's more about the fact that many Americans think this merely to be a terrible accident (and therefore unpreventable) rather than something that should never have been come close to in the first place that is the issue here.
ADK Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Well it's a health and safety failure. I don't really have a problem with a child shooting a weapon under instruction but the instructor has made an error allowing such a young child to fire a powerful weapon.
Ghost Troop Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Easily done, could happen to anyone really. It'll blow over. It always does.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 An Uzi is not exactly the kind of a gun a woman would secrete in a handbag or in her knickers or stockings. Obviously you don't watch enough manga.
PAPA LAZAROU Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 Also, why and who posted the video online? The parents filmed the tragic accident, but why is it plastered over the internet? It can only have come from the parents or the police department as they would have access to the video. Releasing it doesn't respect the dead man, nor the poor girl who killed him. The parents are as guilty of child abuse as much as the idiot who was killed. In a nut shell who cares ? America is rotten to the core and this video proves it. No respect for the dead child abuser at all.
PAPA LAZAROU Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 I would imagine there are stricter laws as to where and who you can buy firearms. If you want to by arms in this country it's strictly a matter of money nothing else . The law does not come into it.

So your Sherlock like conclusion is because someone posts in this thread they are not interested in the appalling news from Rotherham? But if they post in any other thread they could be interested? Don't quite see the logic there? Just for the record I am sickend by the reports of mass child abuse in Rotherham, indeed child abuse of any sort in any place sickens and angers me.
Webbo Posted 27 August 2014 Posted 27 August 2014 If you want to by arms in this country it's strictly a matter of money nothing else . The law does not come into it. People make the same argument about drugs but the fact is most of us wouldn't know who to buy a gun off and wouldn't want to associate with those people if they did. In America you can buy a gun in Walmart, there is a difference.
