Wait, I thought guns were illegal there.
No need to look.
You guessed right.
Didn’t this guy know he was violating British gun control laws? The government shall most certainly be very cross with him.
Unless he was a Muslim he had no right to break the law.
The UK will just have to ban guns even more.
What was his relationship to the three year old?

The left will use this incident in Europe to justify gun control here.
Guessed right, in what sense?
Was the perpetrator - suicider autistic? I know a person who lived a fairly high functioning life as a borderline autistic person. When he could no longer find work as a house painter, he was under extreme stress, and blamed his mother for bearing him with his autism and took her life and his.
He seems to have thought he had fallen into a video combat game.
But not the cops who refused the mother's requests for help then gave the perp back his gun.
