Gun laws in the USA

[Craig]

With the recent shooting in schools in the US in the last week, and having not seen Bowling for Columbine by Michael Moore, how strict are the laws there for firearm ownership, but I guess it would be a state thing but not a federal law?

I'm concerned it mustn't be that hard to get with the nutcases' who have got hold of them and gone and vented their grudges. Even Homer Simpson got one despite beating up former President George Bush, being in a Mental Insitute etc. with a maximum of three firearms at one time.

We Canadians are quite good at this law and if there is any crap that we get ,no wonder comes from south . South always give us different sort of problems .

OK, who wants to break the news to Craig that Homer Simpson isn't real...

The latest Amish ones are so sad. Tragic really. On guns though, I read an excellent post by Slow Love on the matter during one of my trollings through the archives.

This only happened a couple of weeks ago.

You got me good there. What I meant that they take the mick out of everything, so if they are doing it then it must be pretty bad.

Anyway I stop now (worst arguement ever).

Could I have my spade back once you've stopped digging yourself a hole?

Nah, don't go there, this is a loaded topic

If this carries on, i might have to bite the bullet and go to sleep.

Would tightening gun laws do much though? Guns are really just a more glamorous way of killing people. Here in Australia we have tight gun laws, but it doesn't stop knife attacks which are so common they have to be pretty serious to get a mention in the news now.

Well to be fair, he triggered this type of response.
