Are you an angry ex-hand gun owner or something? As you don't seem happy that they've been banned?
This guy in this clip says there was only one guy shooting but he seems to have missed the phone call bit at the beginning. He also says it only last 2 mins...
Colorado 'Dark Knight' Shooting Witness: 'I Saw A Guy Right Next To Me Getting Shot' - YouTube
I think the answer is, if they're banned why are so many people still being shot on the streets of this country, banning hand guns didn't do a blind thing to improve the situation what so ever
You can't really say for sure - it may have been worse if hand guns were still legal!
Latest news about this Colorado shooting is that the guy who allegedly did it, sent a notebook to a psychiatrist describing that he wanted to kill people - the letter/package wasn't opened till after the incident!

Those guys are unbelievable, eh. Can't wait for the next one. If those fun loving guys in Syria don't crank it up a notch, Damascus will be a safer holiday destination than Detroit.

Ex Chief Inspector Coline Greenwood did a survey of gun crime & gun laws from the introduction of the 1937 Fire Arms Act, as more fire arms laws were introduced gun crime increased, the police & home office mantra was the gun owners are to blame, then came Hungerford & more laws, all fire arms owners had to have a photograph on their permit, and acess to medical records, gun crimes increased yet again, stiil the home office blamed the gun owners for the increased gun crime. Then came Dumblane, & Hamiltons rampage, he was not a member of any of the local gun clubs, they wouldn't have him as a member, even the local sergeant in charge of fire arms had recommended he should have his permit withdrawn, but he was over ruled.
Following that Blair rode into power on the promise to band all hand guns. Guess what gun crime has increased out of all proportion to its previous levels.
Who can the police & the home office blame now, what did the ban on pistol shooting achieve.
The only thing it did was brainwash every one into the thinking that guns are evil, even kids can no longer play cowboys & indians, without some brainwashed clown reporting them to the plod, who turn out like a septic swat team, acting like they are up against John Wayne & the Commanchero's.
You'd be surprised how many time the cops have lost their side arm, and the number of accidental discharges is disgraceful.
Absolutely Spot On Walter, the more rules are made the more people want to ignore them, its the thumb nose at officialdom syndrome
No, never owned or fired a hand gun.
It was a complete waste of tax payers money banning hand guns and has done nothing to reduce gun crime which was the excuse for the ban. In reality it was all about politicians jumping on the band wagon to gain support for themselves by those stupid enough to think it would reduce gun crime.
I take it you are one of those that think it has reduced gun crime?
Have you looked at all the statistics? To be honest I can't say for sure of it has reduced it? The increase in violence may be for other reasons than access to guns - perhaps it would be worse if hand guns could still be obtained under licence?
Take airguns - they were used by many "idiots" in our society and it's the actions of those idiots that got the stricter airgun laws brought in - in which one can be imprisoned and or fined for using air-guns in away that breaks the law.

Use an air gun in an inappropriate way and your breaking the law so why more legislation
Well they had to redefine the law because a lot of thugs were using airguns in crime and intimidation as it was legal to use them in your own back yard and there were no laws - they had to change it to disallow use within 100metres of a public place. Which means you can no longer shoot one in your garden or backyard unless 100 metres from another's property or public place - just in case of stray pellets hitting someone nearby.
Gun laws won't stop a thug like this character getting a gun and blowing someone away in the street off a whim!
'Psycho' gets at least 30 years - UK News - MSN News UK
Thing is this guy will live of his vicious actions in prison and be respected by criminals. This is why he should be kept in solitary confinement which will stop him from bragging about his crime and being some kind of hero.

Should be strung up.not too sure about the hero bit,Think he may get a bit of grief off some cons.
I agree - but he will find some people who look up to him for it.
You speaking from first hand experience, reading the daily mail or watching Dirty Harry films?
I've picked it up off documentary's and news programs. He was already involved in gang culture before he did the crime - so from those types of people he'll get respect...
Why should we give a fig about whether or not he gets respect from other useless losers in prison? All that matters is that none of them ever get let out.
That's the point though, the scum was only given a maximum of 30 years, so he could get out. No such reprieve for the poor lad who he callously shot, or his heartbroken parents. In cases of coldblooded murder like this, life should mean life...and in the harshest of conditions.
That's why I kind of like the American sentencing, Life without the possibility of parole, 40 years to life, or better still the needle, gas chamber or the chair, which is exactly what these scumbags deserve
