People can accuse me of what they want, they are wrong and I will challenge them on stuff that is not accurate.
I have no intention of reading a crappy far left rag, such as the guardian. Not a chance. Don’t buy The Sun or any other form of newspaper. I don’t know how many more times I have to state this. They are a waste of money. By the time they are printed and distributed, they are old news.
I don’t watch press releases of any political party or leader either.

It's not going to stop every attack but over time restricting the use of guns and making sure that any gun is registered to a specific person might help stop them circulating around so freely.
Guns in the classroom is an insane idea that was the content of satire not that long ago. There are all sorts of things that could go wrong when you increase the numbers of guns around children. Whose going to be to blame when those guns are fired at someone who is not a mass killer? Either because of panic, a breakdown or a confrontation that gets out of hand?
The NRA probably can't believe their luck that yet another mass school shooting is going to give them one of their prized ambitions.

Damien, what and how many times do I have to state, I don’t agree with guns...?
I don’t agree with them. At all. Is that any more clearer?
There has to be some protections against an attack, in a gun ridden country.
You mention extra restrictions on new gun purchases. That does not solve the guns already in circulation and owned, how are people going to be forced to register on a compulsory order... there will be a riot and civil disobedience, if people are forced to either hand over their guns or have extra registry checks.
