"Absolutely shocking. Common place in the USA but for Britain this is a true rarity. Can't imagine that the Cumbrian police are truely prepared for this scenario. Let's just hope the guy is brought in safely for his sake and everyone elses. T & L" I worked as a volunteer at the University of Alaska one summer a couple of years back after I'd finished my post-grad, The USA has always been a deeply paranoid nation anyway, but things have gotten so bad there now that every entrance door to the unversity had a reminder notice that firearms and explosives were not permitted on the premises (only in America would people need to be reminded about this), and every notice board had a list of instructions for what to do if there was an "Active Shooter Incident" - if it wasnt scarey it would almost be funny. | |||

"guns get smuggled in from other countries, bobbies on the beat wont solve the gun crimes, its a war that wont be won, it will always be there I'm afraid, unfortunately not many people are happy to go with the "live and let live" life. Yes if there was a way to stop it I'm sure they would have by now but you have to accept that guns are readily available, you just need to know where to look to get one. | |||

Shona x x x If that question was answerable, it wouldnt happen "Thats whats so worrying Fuss it happens everywhere these days. I remember being horrified when I heard about what happened at Dunblane primary school, sadly todays news didnt horrify me nearly as much - and thats what is SO worrying, no longer being sickened and horrified the way I used to be. Maybe Im a product of the 24 hour news channels (being a news junkie) or maybe it is happening more often?? Not sure which tbh but either way it is very sad for all involved from witnesses to families torn apart by what happened today. Shona x x x | |||

"duuno why but I'm suddenly reminded of the Dunblane Massacre, a reminder, not that any of us need it "The Dunblane massacre was a multiple murder-suicide which occurred at Dunblane Primary School in the Scottish town of Dunblane on 13 March 1996. Sixteen children and one adult were killed by Thomas Watt Hamilton, before he committed suicide. It remains the deadliest mass murder of children in the United Kingdom"" Dunblane and Hungerford, both incidents shocked and appalled. And will now no doubt be replayed out in the media due to this latest atrocity. In fact, they've already had a mention on many news sites. Both incidents produced clammor for tighter gun control, laws were passed, and still this tragedy happened. It's not knee jerk reactions we need now, but greater detection of illegal firearms brought into the country. Easier than it sounds. | |||

"Seems that this is a shotgun that has been used so probably less likely to be an illegal firearm." i think in britain this type of shooting tends to be with legal firearms. They changed the law after hungerford but Thomas hamilton ( dunblane ) still had 6 licenced guns..though the law was changed again after that terrible event. i think for me thats what makes this so scary ..its totally unpredictable and probably unpreventable. | |||

"it took me straight back to hungerford ..similar situation with people being randomly shot in the street. terrifying" Just the other week there was a programme on the Crime and Investigation channel about Hungerford, I didnt remember it so watched (well that and being a weirdo who likes to read about crime, and watch how real life criminals are caught) and I watched thinking how did so many survive with the killer barging into peoples houses?? Luckily for them they did but with what horror being relived everyday of their lives?? I also lived in the countryside as a child and saw farmers with shotguns (might have been something else but had a long barrel) he used it for shooting vermin (foxes mostly) and animals that had been mauled by other animals therefore putting them out their misery. Also after speaking to people who own guns MOST are very responsable (Ok spelling not great today sorry but you know what I mean) and wouldnt need knee jerk reactions like the ones we have seen before and will see again.

"How the hell could a farmer be expected to go to his local gun store everytime he needs to kill a fox?" i was bought up on a farm and the farmer there never ever took a firearms to deal with a fox, his attitude was live and let live, though it was an arable farm with little live stock other than a few farmyard hens(free range). pest control can be done in many ways without the use of firearms. and i personally was bought up to understand that fox's weren't a pest, we use to feed the fox's on our farm thus not having the problem of them trying to steal to survive | |||

"The average farmer with a livestock/poultry farm will always find a need to have a shotgun handy. Even crop farmers use shotguns to scare birds from seedlings" farmers use what are known as " bird scarer's" which is a machine using compressed gas fired though a trumpet like device thus making the sound of a gun going off and have done for the past 3 years, and a new way of controlling the rabbit population has been to introduce weasels, and stouts into the hedgerows, farmers have actively looked at more humane ways in pest control for many years now | |||

"if we truly want to stop this kind of thing from happening then we have to accept that stronger enforcement of firearms control has to be introduced " I'm sorry, but I just don't accept your reasoning. Taking to one side whether or not the weapons used were legally held or not in all three atrocities; Supposing I felt inclined to go on a rampage, and I had no access to firearms. How long do you think it would take me to get hold of something illegal? I reckon I could be tooled up with the hour. In fact, I know I could. As could just about anybody with that sort of inclination. Would imposing greater sanctions on those who legally own firearms stop this kind of thing happening again? Not a chance. Laws have been passed previously, they haven't prevented this. Is the solution to have a blanket ban on firearms? I've no doubt that will be discussed in the press, maybe even heralded in some quarters. However, it is far too easy to get hold of illegal weapons. All a blanket ban would do, in my opinion, is increase the number of illegally held weapons. Just my opinion, feel free to tell me I'm talking bollocks. | |||

Just my opinion, feel free to tell me I'm talking bollocks." No, you're not talking bollocks, my guns are now safely  housed in Belgium after the last retarded knee-jerk reaction deprived a swathe of responsible, legitimate shooters of our sport, yet gun crime (Section 1 FA, rather than shotgun) has increased massively. Maybe if guns weren't such mystical objects of desire, less people would be so keen to get their hands on them, to play the big-time criminal with the glamour of a "gat" in their waistband?
You can't teach responsible gun ownership and safety to anyone if the only guns they handle are illegally held, yet they see movie stars on the big screen taking multiple gunshot wounds and still crawling on to win the day, like they have just stubbed their toe.
Show people what a stray slug will do when it hits an elbow and ends up coming out of the hip on the other side, with all the associated tissue damage, let alone a close-up aimed shot. Show real-life footage of people screaming for their mother absolutely insensible with pain after taking the kind of shot Mel Gibson winces at and limps away. Guns aren't toys, they need respect and people need to be educated about them. The genie can't be put back in the bottle, so we have to be realistic about gun ownership.
In any case, the classic definition of a Police State is one where the citizens have no guns but the police do, and I can't see Robocop and Co giving up their weaponry.
Um, strayed a bit from the issues today, from 1 man with a shotgun, but all the cuckoos will be coming out of the woodwork any minute now calling for more stringent controls! | |||
