Equally, can you tell us any that were carried out prior to dunblane? There’s just no accounting for nutters unfortunately 

A nutter whose licence should have been revoked long before he did what he did. Huge police failings for which law abiding pistol shooters were made to pay the price, typically Labour had to take it to the next level when they banned 22rf pistols, even those used in major events like the Olympics. 

” We have taken handguns off the streets of the UK” 🤔 make your mind up how that went.

And every potential crime becomes potentially opposed by an armed goodie.

And I suppose that at these crimes there is the potential for innocent bystanders to get killed or maimed unless of course everyone in this scenario is a real hotshot?

So what’s the score lad, are you an Andrew supporter or do you think he’s been hard done by ??

No you stupid idiot, he hasn't been found guilty IN LAW of anything, it seems likely he's been a bad lad and should have dropped Epstein like a hot brick at the first signs, so no not a supporter of Andrew but not a supporter of JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS YA THICKO.

 

Was that easier for you to grasp?

Hungerford.

Hungerford was a semi-auto, Joe was talking specifically about handguns.

It was also un registered,so changing the gun law didnt effect those ones.

Valid point.

 

I don't think the firearm system in the UK is perfect by any stretch, but to make concealable firearms available to anyone for the purpose of self defence is a steep downward spiral in my opinion.

 

I'd love to be able to use a registered pistol for the purposes for target shooting mind.

You can actually have a pistol for the purpose of target shooting.

There is a direct correlation between the number of guns in the general population and the number of people shot. Odd that.

There actually is not.

 

There is however a inverse situation where by the low incidence of legal firearms ownership in inner city area's results in the highest incidence of illegal firearms use. The UK and America are prime examples of that.

 

Have you actually and kin idea of what you are going on about Steven?
