It happens all over the world, in the UK (very strict gun control laws), the whole of Europe and the rest. It's not guns, it's people that are the problem.

Wow.
Must be a major problem in the UK.
How many gun deaths..last year?
Can you link it?
The gun is a tool, it is not the motive.
As long as we don't address what causes people to kill on a large scale, they will continue.
Is it culture? Is it movies and TV? Is it bad parenting? Is it a series of emotional and environmental triggers?
Discuss.

Civilization is only a very thin veneer separating us from barbarity. Mass killings have been endemic to mankind from the dawn of history. Entire cities were put to the sword down to the last man, woman, and child in ancient times. It is only in the 20th century that technology caught up with the evil nature of some men. Now, one man can do the butchery of a platoon of soldiers of a century ago.
It isn't culture, movies, tv, parenting, etc. This has happened across all cultures long before movies and tv. It is part of man's nature.
So what do you think IS the problem?

It's not an annual event in the UK. But...
Cumbria shootings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cumbria.... 2010... 12 dead.
Just a few weeks ago, some guy walked into a law office not far from where I live and shot a lawyer - he died yesterday.
Norway... it's the 1st anniversary this week of the mass murder of 77 - mainly kids.
It happens everywhere. We might have more of a problem, but we are not alone in the problem itself.
To pretend it is unique to the US or is some kind of fucking competition is just ludicrous... but i expect no more from you... intellect is not your forte.

Unique to the US? No.
But gun deaths in the UK rarely breaks over 100 each year.
And in the US it's something like 30K.
In terms of magnitude your comparison if off the scale.
Intellect..or math..is not your forte.

The OP wasn't talking about typical gang-related murders in which a firearm is used. He referenced those that kill "on a large scale". Mass murder events like what happened in Colorado. In that sense, the worst shootings happened in Norway, South Korea, Australia, Columbia, Japan, China, as well as the US.
Wow.

And in the UK. Cumbria, Dunblaine (that was a bunch of kindergarteners getting killed), Hungerford... it happens.

Think so? That's a scary thought.

Nice try at diversion, but the topic isn't "gun deaths", it's "mass murder". And amazingly enough, the UK's gun laws have NOT stopped people from murdering each other, mass-murdering each other, spree-killing each other, serial-killing each other, and even shooting each other.
But thanks for answering the OP's question by proving that we can't, in fact, have a non-partisan discussion of the true causes behind heinous crimes.

In fact, after England banned guns in 1997, their rate of crime increased. According to the British Home Office and reported by BBC, street robberies were up 28% by 2001, violent crime up 11%, murders up 4%, and rape up 14%. The trend continued in 2004 with a 10% increase in street crime, 8% increase in muggings, and a 22% increase in robberies.
I'm beginning to think criminals don't obey the rules. Sup' with that?
Well, at least they got rid of all those evil handguns, right? Nope. According to a King's College study, handguns were used in 3,685 British offenses in 2000 compared with 2,648 in 1997, an increase of 40%.
Bummer.
So what's happening lately in the UK, now void of private gun ownership? According to a 2009 joint report of the European Commission and United Nations, the UK has the highest rate of violent crime in Europe...higher than the United States! And, they have the second highest overall crime rate in the EU. Then there's this gem: by 2007, firearms used in crimes doubled...fricken doubled!
But America's gun grabbing nanny staters know what's best...THEIR plan for more gun laws will surely do the trick.
