Couldn't agree more. A sad state of affairs
 
Absolutely tragic this, he just seems to have shot totally at random, i've been to Whitehaven many times, and have friends that live near Egremont.


Best Regards - Taggy
 
Seems like another American trait took about 20 years to get here, still never see it coming though do we?

It has happened here before this incident - there is nothing that can be done about the unstable people such as this perpetrator, I just hope that there isn't another knee jerk reaction.
There have been more shooting incidents involving hand guns since the banning of private ownership of registered handguns than previously.
 
At least were not paying for his bed and breakfast for the next 20 year, feel sorry for all the families of the victims though, all out doing normal day to day things and this happens to them.
I'm actually up in this area, he dumped his car only quarter of a mile from where we are, we all got told to stay inside and no-one had to leave site as he was on foot somewhere in the area.
 
Blimey ksh scary stuff indeed, glad your safe and well and condolences to all the local people effected in the area.

Another tragic mass murder by someone who legally held guns, same as Dunblane and Hungerford....no law against holding guns will stop anyone intent on mass murder, but a total ban on firearms would at least lessen the chances of this happening.
The Dunblane and Hungerford mass murders were both carried out by men who had legally owned guns... I've never heard any compelling argument to give anyone a licence to kill by allowing them to own guns, this bloke was a taxi driver.. why was he allowed to own a shootgun and rifle?

We heard he'd crashed the car and others say he just abandoned it, not sure which is right, if he'd have got where he was heading he would have wiped a lot more out on the road probably, he was just short of the start of the hard knot pass when he left the car, anyone who's been on this road will know what I mean

It is evident you don't know the facts of the cases re Dumblane & Hungerford, both men if the police had applied the firearms act as it then was would have had their permits revoked.
In the case of Dumblane he was not a member of any recognised gun club, they refused his membership, even a police sergeant recommended his certificate renewal be refused, but he was over ruled. And Ryan had also commited offences which were enough to have his permit refused.
Then the hooray and promises by Tony Blair to make the streets safer, did it, did it hell, there are now more unregistered firearms than there ever were.
I owned and used several firearms for nigh on 60 years before I surendered my certifcate and had the fire arms destroyed.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people with whatever is available, he could have done the same amount of lumber with his taxi, or a cross bow.
Retlaw.
