is that some sort of joke? just a way for gun supporters to say 'ha look how ridiculous it would be if we didn't have guns to protect ourselves in schools'

Another one in California, at you tubes office. White female shooter this time apparently.

Is that Michael Jackson?

Could have been a lot worse if it was not for James Shaw.

He was unarmed, that's not how it works.

It appears that a clause in the English bill of rights 1689 is indirectly responsible for all these terrible shootings in America.

The English Bill of rights was basically designed to limit the powers of the monarchy, but within its clauses it also gave the right for Englishmen to bear arms. The Americans adopted this clause in 1791 as amendment 2 in their Bill of rights.

However, the English have at least attempted to react to violent situations as they arose by amending laws. Shootings such as the Sydney Street siege in 1911, and more recently Hungerford and Dunblane have all been significant in these modifications.

America prefers it seems to remain in the time of the wild west. It therefore has to suffer the dire consequences.

British law changes.

1870 a licence was introduced for anyone who wanted to carry a gun outside their home. But there were no restrictions on keeping a firearm indoors

1903 Pistols Act which denied ownership to anyone who was "drunken or insane".

1920 Firearms Act, which introduced a registration system and allowed local police forces to deny a licence to anyone who was "unfitted to be trusted with a firearm".

1937 Firearms Act, which banned most fully automatic weapons.

1967 Criminal Justice Act required licences - but not registration - for shotguns.

1988 Firearms (Amendment), which banned semi-automatic and pump-action rifles; weapons which fire explosive ammunition; short shotguns with magazines; and elevated pump-action and self-loading rifles. Registration was also made mandatory for shotguns, which were required to be kept in secure storage.

1997 Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) outlawed .22s

2006 Violent Crime Reduction Act was introduced.
This made it an offence to manufacture, import or sell realistic imitation guns; doubled the maximum sentence for carrying an imitation gun to 12 months, and made it a crime to fire an air weapon beyond the boundary of any premises. It also increased the age limit for buying or possessing an air weapon from 17 to 18

History has shown that the English have no need for automatic weapons - just ask the French.

Gunman arrested

Pleased they didn't get the easy way out like so often is the case.

Shame isn't it. I know a retired copper in the states and he said in his 38 year career he never fired his gun once.... such a shame it's turning out the way it is, and even more of a shame that the president is promoting a culture of hatred.

looking forward to the outcome of the midterms.
