Assault rifles were banned in 1988 after the Hungerford massacre, but not in NI. <br /><br />And rifles and shotguns are legal. <br /><br />NI is the most free part of the UK: almost all guns are legal and even carrying in public is legal (usually). And theres a fairly high rate of ownership.<br /><br />In the Republic of Ireland, guns are legal but licenced.scotsmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-78803651247752464562012-12-17T09:12:52.345-05:002012-12-17T09:12:52.345-05:00Read and article that made the point that these ki...Read and article that made the point that these killers are LOSERS and their muderous acts brings them recognition.

But "if" the U.S Supreme Court (Eighth) and/or the various State Supreme Courts (Fourteenth) would determine that life in prison is 'not' considered cruel and unusual for any crime perpetrated with a gun we could go a long ways toward reducing these senseless activities. Knowing you would automatically be sentenced to life upon conviction might put enough fear in the minds of these perps to stop some of them before they terminate someone else's future.manarangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307150734935738948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-9218899809741274942012-12-16T23:23:27.665-05:002012-12-16T23:23:27.665-05:00@Anonymous re:Fort Hood shooting:

Solders aren't armed, so that's the reason Hasan choose that facility. Otherwise, he would have been taken down. <br />Hasan was shot and stopped by Army Civilian Police officers. <br />So, he choose a place he knew none of the solders would be armed-like the school or movie theater.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-3732725736588225802012-12-16T21:49:34.950-05:002012-12-16T21:49:34.950-05:00Fort Hood - not a gun free zone.

Now, it would be difficult to sue the government for laws designating gun-free zones. That said, private entities that opt to disarm their patrons by designating their place of business a gun free zone, allowing a massacre to occur without anyone being able to defend themselves or others, ought to be sued for negligence. There is nothing like money damages to focus the issue.
