The gunman had the standard “dead eyes” in the article’s photo. Soulless!

But how is this possible? Guns are illegal in Britain.

Did the murderer not know that guns are illegal?

Maybe Parliament should pass another law making them double illegal. I’m sure that would solve the problem. Nobody would consider breaking the law would they?

His problem is that he shot civilians.

If he would have taken out the Tory government, he would be declared a hero, especially by “journalist”.

He used a shotgun, which have never been banned

“There are too many guns!” said no one being chased by a crazed evil person. One more gun in that equation would have been an equalizer.

“Did the murderer not know that guns are illegal?”

And murder is illegal too.

“He used a shotgun, which have never been banned”

Until today.

Yep, the main fallout from this will be the banning of single shot shotguns.

Improbable in the extreme. Sporting and vermin control guns will never be banned, the rural shooting lobby is too strong. More likely is a further tightening of licensing regulations (this guy had a legitimate firearms licence, apparently)

Yeah, too bad no one had the ability to reach out and touch him with hot lead like the the man in Arkansas did in a similar situation recently....

So much “for all our safety, we are disarmed”.

Ah. Clearly it’s the shotguns’s fault. Better ban those.

And knives.

And screwdrivers.

And sharp sticks.

Why, it’s almost as if some people don’t obey the law!!

Who ever heard of such a thing?
