Bad news from the UK: Gunman shoots 12
Just great. Let's hear from our UK members as to how fucked they're gonna be in the coming days. Sure they have SOME guns, but they're going the way of China & Japan where virtually no one has guns (except the rich & connected) and psychos kill school kids with butcher knives and swords......

Jesus Christ, the British are extremely stupid. You would think they would be smart enough to realize that no matter what you ban, criminals are just going to get it illegally just as they did before bans were even put into effect

You know, the gun haters in THIS country have come very close MANY TIMES to banning entire classes of weapons and have been successful in things like the MG 1986 ban on new transferables, and also have STATES enact draconian gun bans. The 2nd Amendment (and the political efforts of many good people) has stopped them, from going any farther, but I fear that eventually they will wipe out all ownership. So The brits didn't corner the market on stupid people and politicians.

"very placid, very quiet man, kept himself to himself"
See, it's the quiet people you've gotta watch out for. The type that doesn't take much, "keeps to himself". Yeah those are the guys that somehow like a cliche ends up being the killers. In the UK, they've banned metal bats and replica swords now because of a bank robbery, which was successful. You can get the really pricey thousand dollar collector swords, but you can not get any of those less than 100 dollar swords now. They've got "assault knife" ban too. Next thing, they'll be banning steel chairs, or glass beer bottles, because we seem them use all the time.

Yeah, common sense. Taking away objects that were used in dangerous situation doesn't mean people can't get creative. I bet it'll get to a point where England people will start making shanks like they do in prison because all forms of knives will be banned, or start busting out ancient weapons again because they are less regulated than guns. People will start carrying mace, and I don't mean the sprays.

This is really horrible. And we all know what's gonna happen. Even with the Conservatives in power, new gun laws are inevitable (recall that Hungerford took place under Thatcher).

There's no "cliche", not even for the "quiet" types. The Secret Service has studied mass killers for years now, and they've repeatedly concluded that there is absolutely no profile for these people, besides the fact that they're always male, and have some type of grievance (legitimate or not). |
