Three men have been found guilty of murdering an innocent nursery school as she sheltered from the rain during a night out celebrating her 24th birthday.
Sabrina Moss, who had a four-year-old son, was shot in the heart as she became caught up in a bloody drugs turf while standing with a group of about 15 others outside a fast-food restaurant in north west London.
Miss Moss, along with her friend Sabrina Gachette, were gunned down in the street by two hooded men armed with a machine gun and a shotgun.
Miss Moss died later in hospital, while Miss Gachette was hit in the back by more than 50 gunshot pellets and was lucky to survive.

I hope you are being funny.
Murder gets anywhere from 10-whole life tariff in the UK. Average probably about 15 yrs, which is far too little and most UK people want it to be 20-30 yrs.
The likes of child murder still gets 20+ yrs. Many UK child killers are on 30-50yr sentences. Or whole life.
Nobody except silly UK gun control groups would suggest such a thing. UK gun violence has risen in the last twenty years, although it is now levelling out and in parts of the UK receding.
Also remember that our gun violence/gun deaths numbers and rates are still far lower than the US, and start from a point of almost nil historically.
Except they didn’t outlaw guns, they banned in 1997 handguns or most handguns, on the mainland. Assault rifles in 1988, which almost nobody owned here anyway.
Everything else is legal. 2.3m guns in the UK.
And Americans shouldn’t crow about guns and violence and violence in general to anyone else.

If you drop Chicago and DC our murder rates aren’t very high.
UK police and the public do not wish the police to be mass armed. Tragic as police deaths are, they are a very low number per year of decade.
I think the problem is with your hearing, not the accents. Try listening and getting the accents. It easy just to tune out and not try.
And yes, Happy Valley is a very good programme. I would be happy to recommend classic and current British TV and film.
Although our police by and large have no firearms, they are not quite undefended.

Yes it is.
I will be happy to discuss the figures if you wish. Be warned though, they wont be complimentary to your country.

I assumed you made the point in jest, but others here don’t.
That would be Sir Hiram Maxim demoing his marvelous invention in about 1884.
At least two of the three look like followers of the Moon God. Britain is increasingly infested with those.
“were gunned down in the street by two hooded men armed with a machine gun and a shotgun”
How is that even possible? I thought the UK had strict gun control?
Well I cannot be held responsible for others ability or lack there of to discern sarcasm without a tag. Let the chips fall where they will.
Obama is well loved by the majority of people in the UK. As are the majority there for gun control as are some posters from the UK here posting on FR.
Obama Praises Australia’s Gun Confiscation
By Charles C. W. Cooke

Speaking to users of the blogging platform Tumblr, President Obama today praised Australia’s confiscation of firearms. Obama said:
Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven’t had a mass shooting since.
Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. There’s no advanced, developed country that would put up with this.
In other words, the president of the United States just praised a government for forcefully removing all semi-automatic firearms (i.e. a remarkable number of the guns in America and the majority of those sold today) from its citizenry.
Let me be clear, as Obama likes to say: You simply cannot praise Australia’s gun-laws without praising the country’s mass confiscation program. That is Australia’s law. When the Left says that we should respond to shootings as Australia did, they don’t mean that we should institute background checks on private sales; they mean that they we should ban and confiscate guns. No amount of wooly words can change this. Again, one doesn’t bring up countries that have confiscated firearms as a shining example unless one wishes to push the conversation toward confiscation.
Is it Islamophobic to mention “Muhammad” is now the most popular name in Britain?

Obama praises ‘very severe’ gun confiscation program of Australia

President Barack Obama said in a recent address that he’s become ‘frustrated’ with America’s lack of movement toward civilian disarmament. As police in the USA become increasingly militarized (with Obama’s help), the president is using crime as an emotional tool to soften Americans toward gun control. Surrounded by heavily armed body guards, Obama said on June 10th:
