If they had banned the guns he used, this would have never happened....

[mikeintexas]

Yep, they need more laws to stop this sort of things....

[Carry-a-Kimber]

This is obviously a lie fabricated by the media since there are no gun crimes in countries where gun ownership is tightly controlled. This would mean that a criminal didn't obey the law, it is common knowledge that criminals follow the same laws the rest of society does.

If only they could have defended their selves.

"I can't believe he would do that — he was a quiet little fellow."

It's the quiet ones you have to look out for... then again, it wouldn't surprise me if he was framed. Maybe I've just seen Collateral one too many times.

It is quite a relief that guns are pretty-much banned in the UK. Otherwise, this might have really happened.

It's also a good thing that none of the victims or bystanders was armed! I mean, the gunman could have been stopped BEFORE he finished his rampage.

Sounds like the "authorities" arrived just in time to cover the bodies...

My heart goes out to the fallen

[bdickens]

That's impossible. Guns are banned in the UK. I don't believe this story for a minute.

Well at least he did not beat them to death with a club.
The last person that did that was tried and convicted.

No, if any of his victims had been armed, he simply would have taken their guns away from them and used them in his rampage instead.


Prayers ascend for the victims and families...

Found this on the BBC.

My favorite snippet...

Without getting too technical, a shotgun is a weapon with a smooth bore that usually fires no more than two cartridges before reloading. In essence, it is the kind of long-barrelled weapon you would being carried by a farmer or gamekeeper. A firearm is any other kind of legal gun that fires bullets, including rifles.
