BRITS have called for America to reconsider the gun control laws
immediately after the Virginia shooting tragedy this afternoon.
The gunman - named the suspect as Vester Lee Flanagan II - shot
dead a reporter and cameraman during a live US television
breakfast interview.
Taking to Twitter to discuss the tragedy, it would seem Brits
are urging America to re-think how they see guns in the wake of
the deaths.
Currently, gun laws in the US work to regulate the sale,
possession, and use of firearms and ammunition - but is it
working?
One Twitter user took to the social network to say: "I guess
it's still too soon to have that talk on gun control, right
America?"
Another added: "Two people in America were shot down on LIVE
TELEVISION and yet stricter gun control is considered a 'breach
of freedom'."

We can't accept gun ignorance. ....news flash....the shooters
gun was bought legally. No laws would have prevented it.

Gun ownership is not the problem, but American societal problems
is. Many other countries allow gun ownership, including
Switzerland, Serbia and Finland, yet they have nowhere near the
same problem. If you insist on having a rat-race society, don't
be surprised when the rats turn on each other. Guns are
permitted by the US Constitution so that the citizens can defend
themselves against tyrannical governments. Unfortunately, here
in the UK and many other European countries, guns are outlawed,
thus allowing our governments to trample on our own right to not
be taken over by foreign rule and Islam, and our ability to
fight against it.

Every hour of every day, hundreds of millions of gun owners in
the USA prove guns don't kill people, murderers do.

Not everyone with a gun murders people, therefore widespread gun
ownership is safe. How ridiculous. By the same rationale, you
could let 6 yr olds drive cars and as long as one survives,
lower the driving age to 6.
In fact every hour of every day, the statistics show, there is
an undeniable correlation between ownership of guns and gun-
related deaths. To argue otherwise is to deny the evidence.
This article however is click-bait, designed to rile americans
as they are "getting told" what to do by those pompous brits. Of
course it is not our place to demand tighter gun controls in the
US. We can only offer intelligent debate and let you do with it
what you will.
Let's hope you see sense.

Daily Express butt out of American affairs, please. You are
doing a lousy job with the EU referendum, and sometimes appear t
be running with the hair and hunting with the hounds. Not all
the money of your good owner could help the UKIP; Get off your
arses and do something for Britain. We in the US are okay thank
you very much.

I am a Brit that has lived in America for more than half my
lifetime. Once upon a time I was appalled by the gun violence
over here but now I just feel numb when Americans are killed by
Americans.If terrorists killed Americans like they kill each
other the US would be so appalled there would be many more wars
than there are already but if they don't really care about their
kids or each other why should I care ? Americans just can't
tolerate any criticism about guns because too many of them are
firmly ruled by the NRA. My suggestion would be just to let them
have the country they deserve and stay quiet about it which is
probably what I should have done in this case as well.

There are many Americans fighting to get gun control but dealing
with idols is a way of life in America now a days. When the
Constitution was written we had fought a war to be free and
determine our future. Our forefathers wanted us to be able to
bear arms for use against an invasion of people who would
control us,not the right to handguns which have no real use
other than to KILL or AK47's! I'm ashamed of my country for the
use of power and money that knocks common sense out of anything
in the words our founders wrote!

Question for all the British nosey parkers - are you as
passionate at what is happening in Calais? Dunkirk? Are you as
worried as many on this forum appear to be or is it a pretence?
Has Cameron's victory lap after the last elections got you all
so dumbed down that you are more concerned and hell fire
passionate about what happened in Virginia, USA?
Believe t, the Americans could care less about your hordes of
Muslims taking over your country. So, please, lay off the guns
crap. You all look ridiculous.
Calais is going nuts. Dunkirk is following. there are hordes in
the Balkans headed your way and you worry about a black
homosexual 3,000 miles away?
Little wonder that Cameron, Westminster, the Labour Party, Tony
Blair, the BBC, your "Establishmemt," and the African migrants
are running rings around you.
Get your priorities straight for pity's sake!

peanut: This forum is open to anyone - and what Rothay says may
sound intemperate, but it's good sense for their nation. Who are
these Brits poking their noses into US affairs? One is a so-
called "comedian" - I may be wrong, but I'm not a TV watcher -
therefore I'm better informed than most.
