They don't hang about in Britain. The bodies aren't yet cold and people are already starting to bleat about gun laws....on second thought many Americans do that too.

What is a bit sobering is to see a military veteran, who should know better, claim that banning weapons will eliminate them from society and that such a ban would have any effect on the black market and/or crazed killers.

One can only imagine the farcical, useless 'psychological assessment' put together by a lot of flaming socialists (regardless of whether they call themselves Tories, Lib Dem or Labour). It literally would be the modern day Thought Police conveniently located in George Orwell's home nation.

I note that one victim's life was taken as he bravely attempted to attack the gunman with a fencepost. Cheap jokes aside I wonder if his bravery would have been better served and rewarded via the availability and use of a handgun.

The problem with gun control as a crime deterrent is that eventually you run out of legally owned guns to blame.

Just because someone is a “military hero”, doesn't necessarily indicate they possess the ability to think clearly and rationally . Look at that camouflaged jackass mcloon for example.

Of course since he's a military man and opposed to his fellow britans being free, he'll be lauded by the usual suspects as they use him to advance the socialist wet dream of completely disarmed subjects under absolute rule by their betters.

The man needs to be placed in a situation where he faces losing everything he holds dear all for the lack of a weapon to defend it. Then the fool might start thinking clearly.

Brits were enslaved a very long time ago...when their right to keep and bear arms was taken away. And now the left keeps on going. No wonder Islamic nuts can take over the country. Defenseless people are VERY easy prey.

“Cumbria Shootings ‘Prove Gun Laws Need A Shake-Up’”
They sure do. They need to remove all the regulations on gun ownership, and begin importing guns immediately. If this guy had done this in the US, there would have have been a great likelihood that he would have been stopped by an armed citizen someplace along the line. Unless of course, he did it in some liberal “gun-free” state....
