A gripe because they're Rossi fans and wanna be at the GP instead?

The local news crew that I watch everyday was gunned down on live tv this morning in yet another sensless act of racial violence by an idiot with a handgun. I hate to see what will be in the media in the coming days.

Surely more guns must be the answer.


Very sad day here.
RIP to the family and friends of the reporter and cameraman.
Gutted.




Exactly when do they start considering a nation third world?

It's been widely reported in the UK, very sad and senseless.

The gunman filmed himself doing it and uploaded it. It's scary to watch

Paper today said that 52% of the US population believe in right to have guns over restrictions.
I thought it was a vocal minority who thought that.

Going to Norfolk for the weekend, just gone to load the car and discovered Lynne's car has a puncture.

No time to get it fixed. So leave a note. don't use that car. Michelle will be mad, full tank of fuel begging.

No doubt get accused of doing it deliberately.

As someone who lost his rifles then pistols over the UK knee jerk reactions to gun ownership, I would caution those in the US to be careful what they ask for.

We who were the legal responsible gun owners in the UK said at the time that if guns were made illegal, only criminals would have them. Yes, there are still plenty of guns around if you know where to ask. But they are not being given up simply because it is an offense to own them.

Be careful what you wish for, you might just get no gun massacres since 2010.

They May not be being given up but they're also not being used in schools and against TV reporters, I'd call that a win. Especially due to the lack of wolves and bears in England they'd be useful protection against.
