Let us get straight to the point ! These tragedies can be put down to one specific weakness in US society and that is the complete failure to have a credible gun control system, The one country to lead the way in sensible reform is New Zealand . Sensibility must prevail !

Interesting that you think these incidents are related to taxation.

To generalise is a mistake the reason are specific to the person who carried out the crime.

Which means any measures put in place will need to be many and varied ,I don't know the answers but gun law,, mental health awareness ,social media montoring, racism, and young people given hope for the future no matter their background.are all issues I consider pay a part in these crimes.

Now we have increased knife crime in Britian and these issues need to be addressed here also.

Another great loss of lives in America.

The gun debate comes to the fore again ,will sense ever prevail and gun controls be put in place?

I fear not to much of a political hot potato.

Cannot see it being sorted as its written in the constitution as a right to bear arms
