Another Mass Shooting



Something often missing in the discussions from this kind of thread on here, well done to our country and our police for limiting access to firearms in the UK. A few key decisions many years ago could have provided a very different future. Also if the efforts to fight against illegal firearms from the police were not as good as they are then we would see a lot more of this kind of horrific situation here.

Yes if only they’d listened instead to Boris Johnson at the time whinging that the gun law changes following the Snowdrop campaigns were like “Nanny is confiscating their toys. It is like one of those vast Indian programmes of compulsory vasectomy.

“It is as if the state had decided to round up all the model train sets or the stamp collections, an operation causing immense distress to thousands of innocent enthusiasts, and just about as pointless.

“Thanks to a sweeping ban on handguns introduced here in the wake of the Dunblane, Scotland, massacre of school children last year, law-abiding gun-owners are now handing over their weapons here at a rate of 50 to 60 a day.”


“An entire pastime will have been exterminated. Britain will be the only country in the world where it is forbidden to practise for an Olympic sport.

“The British taxpayers will have to cough up about one billion pounds in compensation; and still the shooters will receive 25 per cent less than the full value of any improvements to their weapons.”

Then he has the brass nerve to tweet his commiserations on the 25th anniversary of the Dunblane massacre.

More evidence for the fact that he's an absolute and utterly bellend mate.

The terrible thing is that there are so many guns in the US and so many people who are determined to own them that stricter gun control would have little effect. You would literally risk a massive insurrection if steps were taken to forcibly remove guns from US citizens.
These sorts ok killings are just a feature of American society and will always happen. The reaction of a lot off people in Boulder to thesè events will be to go and buy a gun.
