    Finally, someone with a clear understanding of how to stop gun violence in America. GOP senate candidate Herschel Walker’s bold plan.

    Well good for you surviving in Thailand without a gun. Any withdrawal symptoms?

    If 68% of the population can exist without guns so can the rest.

    Ban the lot, some people would not be happy, but it is not the role of govt to be entertainers

    I wouldn't call them entertainers, entrepreneurs perhaps as many of them make good fucking coin directly or indirectly because of their unflinching support for gun ownership.

    This is the sort of thing you might expect from a soldier in combat, not from an 11 year old girl at school FFS.

    Except perhaps in Ukraine, obviously.

    A girl saw her teacher killed in the Texas shooting but reportedly survived by lying on one of her classmates and smearing the girl's blood on herself to "play dead".

    Miah Cerrillo's family have been describing the terrifying ordeal suffered by the 11-year-old, who has been left with bullet fragments in her body and singed hair from the gunfire.

    Her father told the Washington Post that Miah witnessed teacher Eva Mireles being shot and the phone fall from her hand. Miguel Cerrillo said his daughter grabbed the handset and called 911.

    In a bid to survive, she lay on top of a classmate who had been shot so that they both looked dead.


    "Miah got some blood and put it on herself so she could pretend she was dead," her aunt Blanca Rivera told local TV station NBC DFW.


    "It's too much for me to play that scene over and over again, but that's what my sister-in-law said is that she saw her friend full of blood and she got blood and put it on herself."


    Miah's mother and father were among terrified parents who gathered outside the Uvalde school as the gunman was holed up inside.

    Mr Cerrillo said he eventually saw his blood-soaked daughter and another child being carried out by an officer. She was taken to hospital with bullet fragments in her neck and back but has been discharged.

    Miah said the girl she lay on was breathing but died before help arrived, her father told the Washington Post.


    The trauma is now starting to dawn on the fourth-grade pupil.


    Her aunt told NBC DFW: "Around midnight, my sister-in-law called me and she was just crying like, 'I think it just hit Miah. I think everything came to reality. We're home, and she's just crying and having a panic attack'."


    It comes as
    criticism grows of how long it took law enforcement to enter the building, with officials saying it was up to an hour before a special Border Patrol team killed the gunman.


    Some of the parents had to be restrained after saying they wanted to enter the school themselves to take action.

    Javier Cazares, whose daughter Jacklyn was killed in the attack, said he raised the idea of entering the school with other bystanders.

    "Let's just rush in because the cops aren't doing anything like they are supposed to," he said. "More could have been done."


    "They [police] were unprepared," he added.

    The hour-long interval before the special tactical team shot dead Salvador Ramos, 18, appears contrary to the approach of many law enforcement agencies to confront school gunmen as soon as possible.

    He also managed to enter through an unlocked rear door, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) spokesman Victor Escalon said on Thursday.


    A student told Reuters that some doors were unlocked to allow parents to come and go for an awards ceremony,


    Mr Escalon said earlier reports that Ramos was initially confronted by an armed school-based police officer were incorrect.


    He said two officers had instead entered the school four minutes after the gunman, but took cover after he fired at them. Ramos was then able to barricade himself in a classroom where he killed his victims.

    It's primarily republicans and they are certainly the more vociferous about hanging onto them.

    The problem is they are the numerical minority but have disproportionate representation due to the founding fathers failing to foresee a complete shit show.

    20 million AR15s in circulation in the USA. The horse was out the barn long ago I am afraid. Citizens United and the NRA are responsible for some real backtrack in America.

    I'm not judging ownership, most are likely very responsible and i expect Snub is too but you only need 0.00005% to be fukin nutters to create what you see in the news. I used guns in my job but do i want one at home, do i want one as a hobby or to "Keep my eye in" - no. I don't have anything to do with them now and i don't miss them and i hope i never have to hold one again.

    No shit sherlock, wtf did they think they were doing over one hour letting that nutter do what he wanted. Did it become a bit real off the shooting range and away from quaffing a McDs in the the blue and white?

    Uvalde shooting: Texas shooting response was 'wrong', says official

    Police made the "wrong decision" by failing to storm a classroom in Robb Elementary School as a gunman killed 19 children inside, the chief Texas safety official has said.

    "If I thought it would help, I would apologise," Steven McCraw said during a heated press conference on Friday.

    He said officers delayed entering the room because they didn't believe it was still an "active shooter" situation.

    But pupils inside made multiple calls begging for police to come.

    Mr McCraw confirmed there was a 40 minute gap from the police unit's arrival to the moment they decided to storm the classroom where the gunman had barricaded himself.

    The senior officer on the scene decided to wait until the school janitor arrived with the keys because they thought that either "no kids were at risk" by then or "no one was living anymore".

    The delayed police response, combined with video footage showing frustrated parents being tackled and handcuffed by police while the gunman was still inside the school, has led to growing public anger and scrutiny of how the police handled the situation.

    Well, that's 20 million reasons to have tighter gun controls. I cannot think of a single reason for anyone to own such a rifle.

    A hand gun kills just as effectively, as does any gun if it hits the target. The focus on autos is just smoke.
