Well, I guess you could loosely say that this shooting fell under the heading of "Pest Control".

I know that this bit of insensitive, morbid humor will unleash a firestorm of comments.

I'll clarify my position

I am not anti gun in controlled circumstances..

Target shooting
Hunting
Pest control

You guys could possibly give more examples as it is not part of our culture over here... ( not meant to be taken in a holier than thou attitude)
I have a hobby shooting a camera some people shoot with guns... not a problem when its controlled.

I am anti gun when it comes to civilians in daily life carrying deadly weapons like what happened in Tampa. He seen the red mist and has now ruined the victims life his life and more importantly all the family around them.. they will be victims of not war but a momentary lapse in self-control.
I'll clarify my position br br I am not anti gun ... (show quote)


I enjoy both hobbies to the fullest and I pack a concealed weapon as a result of a legal permit. I have visited Liverpool as well as other cities in England and I have read in the papers a healthy amount of crimes committed in your cities as well. You have gangs, mobs, a huge problem with immigrants without papers, especially Muslims. I think you have enough problems of your own to start a thread mingling on the affairs of others across the Atlantic ocean. Why you worry about crimes in your country instead of criticizing our system. Stay where you are, mind your own business and stop posting such nonsense. I sincerely hope that you have better things to do like buying a better lock for your home, protect your windows and make sure that when you are in need of a fast police response, you and your loved ones can get it. In the meantime, stick to your hobby and we here in America many citizens like me will stick to both hobbies....Cameras and guns.
Oh, by the way...if our predecessors had not armed themselves we still would be under the British rule. Lord...THANK YOU!

If this is the same article I read, the shooter was a retired cop and cops have background checks. Additionally, you paid to see a show, why are you texting? If it is that important go to the lobby.

Hello Jobox, I agree with Doddy, don't get involved with the gun subject, just let them continue to shoot each other and murder lots of school children.
Cheers,
John.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I don't think we Brits should interfere in US gun laws whatever our opinion.We have enough things that are bad over here and past history should tell us that if any nutter wants to shoot anyone he can get a gun quite easily.

Ahhh... you British angels. You will never stop kicking yourselves for foolishly trying to dominate this beautiful country and all you have left is criticizing what you blew away and it will never come back. You are now where you belong, with a lot of crime you can't cover and an 8+ percent of Muslims due to your predecessors ambition of conquering others. Now you have to pay for it dearly. You can now continue to kill yourselves with bats, knifes and from guns used by criminals. Yes, guns used by criminals in the UK against decent citizens like you.

It was murder and he will do time.

The "gun nuts" will say give him life without parole, the libs who sentence him, will say "aggravated assault", and let him out in 2 years on good behavior.


According to statistics, 32 people were murdered in the US on that day, 23 of these by firearm of some sorts, , and there were 3,180 violent crimes, 230 rapes. This heinous example is the one the "anti gun nuts" will use to leave the other 39 murder victims and the 3180 violent crime victims utterly defenseless. They don't care about the rest...... just the one example.

Richie, unfortunately when politics get in the middle, unsavory things happen as a result. It is sad to see how a nutcase can dominate the press for days while other important news take a back sit. This is the age we live on. What bothers me is people that don't live in our country making statements that we are killing each other due to our system like if we were at war. Every country have their own nut cases and they use different type of weapons to commit homicide but that is far from killing each other.
I agree with your statements above and I am sure that you are willing to continue to live in this great country in spite of what's happening. I just can't keep my mouth shut when criticized by people that don'even live here and all they do is read their tabloids distorting the truth.

The Bobbies for the most part do not carry guns much like their criminal counterparts.However,most Bobbies wear knife resistant vests because the criminals all carry knives.Oh and by the way,knives can kill also.

Once again it's the gun's fault, not the person!! Isn't it strange that anti gun people never mention the much higher number of times a year a gun is used to prevent a crime by a law abiding citizen.
