cumbrian shootings

Hope anybody with relatives or friends in the area have not been effected by todays going on Neutral

Sheer lunacy to do such a thing to innocent people carrying out their daily duties Sad

Watching the news there was a D3 with a tarp covering it, looking like its occupant was one of the 12, then a FL2 police car bouncing up the curb

My thoughts are with those family's and friends who have lost someone or have their loved ones in hospital Neutral Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thought of you/yours when I saw the news knowing that your site was close by

I hope they can explain why he went off on one, ied expect not knowing why, would be quite harrowing for those shot at Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

problem is a ban on guns will not get rid of guns as anybody who wants one, for illegal reasons will get one for a few quid anyway Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Agree totally. Handguns were banned in the UK in 1997, the British Olympic team cannot train in the UK. People shot dead peaked in 2001, 97, with 39 in 2008/2009.

"There are 1.3 million Licensed Shotgun holders in the UK. 22,476 in Cumbria." (Guardian. 3/06/2010)

What has happened in Cumbria defies belief. The impact on the communities will take years to heal. The impact on the families that have been ripped apart, will never heal. My thoughts are with those families. Hi Darling, I'll be home in 10 mins. If I'm not back, please read this message again...

Drugs are also banned but still kill people every day-maybe if there were no cars people wouldn't die on our roads too.

What is it the American constitution says... You have the right to bear arms, or is it right to arm bears, I can never quite remember which....

If they were to allow the carrying of arms, I would leave the country. Hi Darling, I'll be home in 10 mins. If I'm not back, please read this message again...

I am a licenced gun user. It saddens me to think about what has happened and my thought goes out to all those involved.
In life no matter what you do there is always going to be some body who will shoot you, drive over you, stab you and so on. Its the human race hell bent on destroying its self. I do hope that they dont ajust the gun laws any more as this will be crippling to the raural community.

My heart felt condoleneces to all those affected by the shootings.
The tragic loss of life, pain and suffering, can never be justified, and will never go away.

I my eyes the biggest killer is people, it doesn't matter about their weapon of choice, a knife in the kitchen is a tool, in the street a weapon. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Don't think it matters whether he had a gun or not, he flipped and would have done exactly the same with a knife or iron bar.......... hope he rots in hell.
