Do they carry stories about murders in the UK?

Tend to agree.
The Yanks are a very different culture to us and its in their DNA as well as their constitution about guns. So, they shouldn't be surprised when these kind of incidents keep happening.

The main issue is still the ability to purchase an assault rifle and there's absolutely nothing stopping you appearing at a crowded event and popping shots off.
But I'm sure the NRA will call for folks to carry their army grade weapon at all times to protect themselves. Absolutely absurd that any civilian on this planet would actually need an assault rifle.
It would be as simple as limiting sales to handguns only with restricted calibers. I say would because the damage has already been done. They'll never be able to disarm the US now. Its far too late. But you know, a right to bear arms would never lead to absolute psychopaths going on a rampage.
This is the third biggest mass shooting globally that isn't a warzone.
So hell bent of fighting a war on terror everywhere else but failing to protect their own from the madmen in their own back yard.

But by banning assault rifles and pretty much all other other guns now, you'd stop new psychopaths getting weapons and ammunition.
I agree though, you'll never disarm America as a whole, too many guns out there. I'm expecting another Waco type event soon, as "Christian" fundamentalism is on the rise again.
