    still while they are looking at motive and reason one thing is for sure it'll be nowt about it being a doddle to pop down to the shop for a gun like!

    Ah you're looking at it the wrong way - the problem is there weren't enough guns. If everyone had been armed someone would have been able to shoot him before he killed 9 people. Or at least this what some of the mentalists actually say.

    As the saying goes: guns don't kill people, people who say "guns don't kill people" kill people. With guns.

    But its the fault of the Christians at the church - had they tooled up good and proper like they should, they could have just shot the perpatrator when he first started firing and maybe only one or 2 of them would have been injured
    Thats why its so easy to buy guns so everyone can defend themselves

    ( I seriously expect someone from the NRA to spouts something like the above by the way - they have said similar before )

    I blame the parents. (in this case, they actually bought him the gun for his 21st, 2 months ago)

    Just the usual when ever this happens, one of the South Carolina newspapers had the front page coverage of it and in there was an advert for a gun sale taking place at the weekend. To me this is quite unbelievable but this is the US OF A

    They need to understand that the right to bear arms was written when muskets and flintlocks were the weapon of choice. Try commiting a mass shooting having to breach load your weapon after every shot. Never happen. Unless of course everyone stood still and politely waited for each reload.

    Ah.. the good old Constitution.
    Bet the American founders never thought that allowing everybody the right to bear arms would mean they could all go around shooting each other.
    At times it makes you glad you are English.

    I'm in the states now and the tour rep asked on the bus if anyone has heard any gunshots yet. Nobody had by the way. :)
