another of them
As the saying goes, guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people.
Its kind of ironic how morons do NOT read between the lines not bothering to think about what they read
GUNS kill JUST like a fork and spoon makes people FAT and the CAR makes people DRUNK drivers I bet more folks are killed by drunk drivers then LEGAL gun ownership
What a real moron did not read is how a nut case on depression medications was able to RE LOAD three (3) times without anyone having the ability to put him down like a rabid dog.
A legal gun holder would have prevented the reloading THUS again proving an armed licensed citizen can save lives.
I wonder if they say teenagers with guns are going on a crime spree then I would imagine all the worlds armies would only have 30+ year olds carrying firearms as teenagers in the armed forces would be having shoot outs killing each other HUH MATE?
If people have the right to carry a concealed firearm and someone wants to go on a crime spree they would think twice about using a weapon where they know other folks are armed and have the ability to stop a crime in progress.
UNLIKE drunk drivers which many are politicians, Judges, off duty "peace officers" a gun can stop a crime in progress how do you prevent a blokes right to drive drunk and get away with murder?
If someone is killed by a firearm the charges against them are much harsher then one for someone driving through cross walk with children and killing several as they would never be put in prison for life
Why not look up gun related crimes (licensed people) and other violent crimes committed without the use of a firearm.
If the shooter was able to reload three times and fired into a crowd and killed 5, this alone should prove he had no business using a gun as a licensed pistol /revolver shooter has to use the gun like any other tool and PRACTICE how to shoot accurately, not spray and pray shooting.
Ever notice that the majority of people shot with a pistol or revolver survive and those hit with a rife bullet or a shot gun meet their maker?
Again this proves the shooter was not very well versed in shooting or had any formal training THUS it was not legally attained firearm as he did have a mental defect
Having the ability to shoot wild and reload shows again posting a sign GUN FREE ZONE is the same mentality as keep dogs off the grass as the dog wont pay much attention to the sign.
Let's face it the British Empire is ruled by an iron fist and think nothing about taking away the basic human right defends one home as a mans home is no longer his castle in that part of the world. This is why folks escaped the bloody country to set up a democracy and were able to vote for freedoms not allowed in many dictatorships or one run by tyrants.
The Media is very biased and very lax in reporting.
A prime example would be an unskilled non licensed individual (bloke) dabbling as gas fitter (LMP) and causes a horrific explosion and the press would jump on it saying " A plumber / gas fitter caused a major explosion in England this morning killing hundreds"
Never would the media actually state "a non licensed stumble bum dabbling in gas work killed innocent people"
Instead they would do like they are doing with gun issues leaving out the truth as people in certain countries are too stupid to read and facts just confuse them so the media has to just make into simpleton language GUNS KILL, forks make people over eat as the truth in the press is not going to sell papers.
They hide in the back pages the articles where a nurse working the mid night shift is walking home and her attacker was shot while trying to assault her THAT never makes the front pages.
Or a home invasion is stopped by 83 year old WW 2 vet who happened to own a shot gun the criminal had several prior arrests but was out on parole when he broke into the farm house and the old man put an end to this criminals life of crime with one placed 1 Oz slug though the mutts forehead.
This is not what the media and certainly the British government want to citizens to see
What the British love seeing is "Would be criminal was shot after breaking into a farmers house and the farmer had no right to shoot this man even if it was in his home"
He should have called the coppers and waited for help to arrive and let the criminal has his way, thus the home owner will be put in prison with the criminals friends as the criminal now can sue the home owner for shooting him and causing him to stop his break ins until he heals properly thus the home owner is responsible for all medical bills incurred and compensation for pain and suffering and mental anguish....
NOW this is politically correct news coverage
