    What an absolutely appalling loss of innocent life.
    I am sure those with restricting firearms on their minds, are primed and ready to spring into action.

    All laws are made for the criminally minded and stupid as a base line, we all accept that.

    Unfortunately over the years, simple knee jerk (and vote winning with the sheeple) law making and amending, has become the norm, right across the West.

    It's simply easier to ban something for everyone, than to address the problems and causes directly.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    John,
    So true. Sadly, we will never know why he suddenly went on this killing spree, not that has anything to do with this senseless murder of so many innocent people.
    I am sure something will come out in the RCMP post analysis!

    Well there ya go!
    Punctuation ~ 1. the marks, such as full stop, comma, and brackets, used in writing to separate sentences and their elements and to clarify meaning.
    "you will notice that no punctuation is used"

    2. rapid or sudden speciation, as suggested by the theory of punctuated equilibrium. (Speciation-the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.)

    What Are the 14 Punctuation Marks in English Grammar? There are 14 punctuation marks that are commonly used in English grammar. They are the period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, semicolon, colon, dash, hyphen, parentheses, brackets, braces, apostrophe, quotation marks, and ellipsis.

    So there you are fellas, make sure you take note as apparently Antipodean's like myself are just frightful with the Queens English.

    Sorry Clarky won't comment on the disarming of us by numpties as there was an agenda pushed by the Greens and unconstitutionaly enforced by our then PM - JWH.

    Unfortunately, once again, a "good guy" with a gun was required to end the evil actions of a "bad guy" with a gun. While the vast majority of the world is comprised of good people, there will always be that very small number of people who are pure evil and will victimize others until stopped by a deadly use of force. These evil people are always able to obtain a firearm since they don't care about following enacted firearms laws. The other really sad part of this tragedy is that there was an insufficient number of law enforcement officers available to immediately deal with the gunman. As we saw in Texas during 2 church shootings there, an armed citizen ended the violence before the police could arrive on scene.

    It has been said many times " when seconds count the police are just minutes away". Legal president has clearly established that police have no obligation or responsibility to protect anyone. That responsibility rests with the individual who will find that a bit dicey when he follows the new laws and the criminal continues to ignore them.

    Kind of odd but this isn't really being covered at all in the states that I can see. Most of the reports I've found are coming from international news sources rather than our own. Just a brief highlight on the news. The guy was 51 so he's not some spoiled brat kid that didn't grow up in a respectful environment. Beyond that, I don't know enough to form an opinion on anything. No mention of the type of weapons used. Very little about the actual crimes committed.

    You can bet the screams of 'ban AR15's' will be loud, if one was used in this appalling attack or not. .

    They already are but the authorities are reticent to say what firearms were used at all.
