The White House is in lockdown after reports of gunshots on Capitol Hill, security sources say.

Gunshots have been heard at the US Capitol Visitors Centre, according to US Senate sources.
Workers in the Capitol were told to "shelter in place" and those outside were urged to take cover.
Some reports suggested that the gunman had been captured and one police officer had been wounded.
A Capitol Police spokeswoman had no immediate comment but said the office would be issuing a statement soon.
The US Congress and White House are in lockdown after the reports.
The Capitol Visitors Center is where tourists gather to take tours.

And Trump is saying that Britain and Europe is not 'safe places'!

I suggest that Trump take his 5mm cowboy revolver with him when is going to visit Britain or Europe. Laughing

Dear sheikh,

"The end of civilization . . . ."

We here in the US are worried. We've never been civilized. Very Happy

And yet US citizens continue to swear by the 2nd amendment...

Dear Phil_K,

Please try to avoid those generalizations. I swear AT the 2nd amendment - or rather the common misinterpretation of it.

Indeed, the 2nd amendment is redundant and should be abolished. Very Happy

The 2nd amendment gives a false sense of security to the citizens of the USA.

Dear gregory999,

Did you read the article or was the grammar lesson too difficult? Very Happy

The 2nd amendment doesn't need to be abolished; it needs to be understood correctly.

Regards,
John

The inaccuracies of anti-gun bigotry are tiresome.

1. The majority (70%) of murders in the US occur in a short list of cities.

2. A small % of the population (fragments of the Black and Hispanics populations) commit the majority of the murders.

To sum up, most of the murders occur in a few areas and largely among the Non-Asian Minorities. America doesn't not have a gun problem, it has a demographic problem.

Frankly, given the increasingly Third World nature of parts of the country, the murder rates are quite low.
