Thanks for the lessons PVTDukeMorrison and HuDaFuk.  Those were quite informative.

Of course not! She's probably trying to indoctrinate people!!! Tabloid reporting for you. What a joke.

I grew up thinking England and Canada banned guns and you could only use them at shooting ranges etc.

As far as the UK goes, handguns and semi-automatic rifles are illegal (and there's no legitimate reason to own one of those anyway). Shotgun licences are still comparatively easy to get, licences for bolt-action rifles are much tougher to get these days but still possible.

I believe a lot of farmers tend to have them as well.

[HuDaFuK]

Yeah, probably .22s to kill rabbits and other pests. It's mostly the larger-calibre stuff they've really cracked down on of late.

You now either need enough land to safely shoot the rifle on your own property (unless you're a Lord or something, you aren't gonna have enough land to safely fire a .303 without hitting your neighbours lol), or you have to be a member of a gun club where you can shoot it. My dad had real trouble renewing his licence for his rifles last year.

The thing that really took the piss is if he took them to a police station to hand them in because his licence had expired, they would've arrested him!

[Corporal Hicks]

How the shit are you supposed to dispose of them then?

[HuDaFuK]

Christ knows!

The copper who was telling us all this suggested waiting for an amnesty, regardless of the fact that would entail holding onto the guns illegally until that happens lol. In the end my dad had to store them at a gun club until he could get the new licence sorted.

Hmmm, don't agree with what that guy wrote, but should someone on national TV, on the news, be wearing a headscarf? I could be wrong but I always thought the news (especially on TV) should be totally neutral in appearance. This is why you only ever see the men in a shirt and tie, and the ladies in a smart outfit, nothing else on or about them.

If its a smaller production then maybe, but a major news channel? Again, I could be wrong but I don't think I've ever seen the BBC do that. Certainly they have people of different backgrounds on the news but I don't think they ever wear anything specific like that.

Now it's happening in Munich......

Yes,he was buried without no one there apart from his career BUT he was given a public funeral later on,the point is why he was buried alone in the first place.

Shooter was German...but of Iranian descent, so possible homegrown radicalisation, again.

So once again, we all know what Europe has to do to quell this, but will they? Or do we continue risking more innocent lives just to be politically correct.

In your court Merkel.

You don't need to be middle Eastern to be Muslim or convert to Islam. Forget political correctness: this banning Muslims idea bullshit is pointless.

Agreed. An when he started shooting, he's meant to have shouted I Am German

[SiL]

There's video of him cussing out Turks and screaming that he's from Germany right after the shooting.
