Y'know, you need to provide a source or a mod will just close this thread. And I guess someone never had good relations with his/her mother.

This is just making me really depressed These are happening more and more often, we just had the Boston bombings last month and the school shootings last year This is just too sad and depressing for me, I don't want to hear or read about any more of these in the future
3 gunmen? Who could do this?

[QUOTE=Hullu V3;40619785]America sure seems like a lovely place to live and raise your family.[/QUOTE] It ain't much better back across the pond.
I can't understand how people in the US are mostly pro gun when this happens pretty much every few months
Wow it's like one by one special days/holidays/events are getting shot up.
Well, mother's day was intended to remember your dead mothers in the first place
[QUOTE=wanksta11;40619843]I can't understand how people in the US are mostly pro gun when this happens pretty much every few months[/QUOTE] because it's deeper than the guns? [QUOTE=wickedplayer494;40619838]Can we please not let this start gun control debate #7867?[/QUOTE] what's the point of a thread if it doesn't allow discussion as long as it doesn't go the facepunch direction of "NO LOOK AT [outdated statistic] AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU COCKSUCKER" it'll all be good keep it civil, keep it clean, lads.
