    Dayton Ohio...Massacre.. 9 dead, 16 injured .....


    Nine people have been killed and at least 16 injured as police search for a second gunman after a shooting at a bar in Ohio.

    Police responded to calls about an active shooter in the area of East 5th Street in the Oregon District on Dayton, according to WHIO-TV.

    The the first shooter was killed by police, but authorities fear a second attacker who fled the scene in a Jeep could be on the lose.

    Witnesses described 'casualties everywhere' and a 'white man dressed all in black' in the early hours of this morning.

    The latest massacre came around 14 hours after America's tenth worst mass shooting which saw 20 people shot dead when a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, yesterday.

    I wonder what the significance of them being killed is? There must be some reason.

    Somebody who knew them might know if there was some kind of disagreement between them that might have been the trigger that set him off.

    WHY

    Do you think your country should make guns illegal.

    As its not my country its up to you.

    Dont give a toss one way or the other.

    My remark was aimed at sarcasm more than directive.

    I have said this before but it bears saying again; if they could get rid of all the guns, fine. But making them illegal would only deprive law-abiding citizens of their guns. Does anyone seriously think the bad guys would turn theirs in or stop buying them?

    @Shirley Martin
    The politicians want us to believe there will be no guns available to buy. Only fools among us might believe that. As prevalent as they are, guns likely do far less damage, including deaths, than do drugs, and anyone wanting them still finds them for sale, despite billions of dollars spent on a "Drug War".
