Maryland Mall Shooting, Not Many Dead...
A tragic story with only 3 fatalities, so buried deep inside my newspaper rather than on the front page. When will our American cousins take action to restrict the availability of guns?

Dr Filth I am sure that some people may have said that it will "stop the baddies from getting them"
My objection, and I think the objection of most people to a relaxation of this law, is that it seems unwise, even reckless, to allow, even under licence, access to such dangerous weapons.
What's the definition of "baddy"? Were the Hungerford and Dunblane killers baddies" until the shooting started? "Baddies" can always get guns, and if there are more of them about the easier it will be for them to fall into the wrong hands. A bit like the idea of motorway service station pubs, tell me a positive reason why we should have them and I'll consider it.

hungerford was slightly different as he had 2 semi automatic rifles , these days the drug lords who are never short of a few quid tend to have a decent handgun and their minders mac-10's as the more modern semi automatic rifles are near impossible to get hold off
Dunblane school 1996. The gunman armed with four handguns
Hungerford 1987. The gunman armed with two semi-automatic rifles and a handgun
