In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump: ‘I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools’ [View all]jimmy the one
(2,721 posts)link: Trump has repeatedly said that gun-free zones are a magnet for mentally ill shooters and that the recent mass shootings in Paris and California could have been prevented if more citizens were armed .. Trump said he wants to eliminate gun-free zones at schools... "My first day, it gets signed, okay? There's no more gun-free zones."
Don't understand this reasoning. I think maybe 90% of yearly gun homicides are done where guns are allowed, anyone disagree? maybe even higher like 95%. Like homes, towns, cities, rural areas, all where guns are allowed, with varying state restrictions & proscriptions.
I think 95% or more of suicides done by gun are committed in gun zones, like homes, cities, towns, rural areas, most all where guns are allowed, again with varying restrictions.
Relatively very few gun deaths occur in 'gun free zones' I think, so much I think it's working as best as it realistically could. It's not like eliminating gun free zones would prevent all gun deaths therein overall - perhaps increase the number, gunshot wounds & mishaps as well.
I think next Monday jan 18th, British parliament will discuss whether to ban Donald trump from Britain.
British MPs will debate possibly shutting Trump out of the U.K., it was confirmed, after a petition on the parliament.uk website gathered over 560,000 signatures. Parliament is required to .. which gathers over 100,000 signatures.
Trump took a jab at what he called Britains Muslim problem. We have places in London and other places that are so radicalized that the police are afraid for their own lives, he told MSNBC. We have to be very smart and very vigilant.
In its call to ban Trump from Britains shores, the petition says: The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. The same principles should apply to everyone who wishes to enter the UK.
The parliamentary debate, which will take place on January 18, will not necessarily lead to any change in U.K. policy towards Trump. By scheduling a debate on these petitions, the committee is not expressing a view on whether or not the government should exclude Donald Trump from the U.K.,... As with any decision to schedule a petition for debate, it simply means that the committee has decided that the subject should be debated.
And blimey, a raspberry to PM Cameron: Both Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne have said in the past that they do not want to keep Trump out of the UK, though in December the Prime Ministers office did condemn his proposed ban on Muslims.. http://www.newsweek.com/british-parliament-debate-ban-trump-412113
