Oh that’s a great idea, dozens of weapons and probably ammunition  stored in the same place with most probably no person in attendance.

Or the alternative where a million individuals are able to access a gun?

 

fair enough - more thought would have to go into how they were secured etc.

 

could get rid of em altogether for me was just thinking about people who use them for clay shooting etc but that could go for all I care if it got rid of guns.

All these massacres over the years seem to be by people who have a gun licence , so the argument for keeping these weapons is a non starter .

This reminds me of folk that don’t like other things, get rid of them, l’m not interested in them etc,etc. If someone is so anti firearms as makapake, why have they waited for this tragic murder to vent their wrath?

How do you know they have waited until now? Other forms of communication, other than SF, are available.

You are quite correct, I should have said on SF.

Farmers need guns.  Gentleman who participate in grouse shooting and clay pigeon shooting events need guns.  Nobody who lives on a council estate or lives in an area like the lunatic from Plymouth should be allowed to own guns. It's unbelievable the Plymouth murderer was given a gun licence.

Don't be such a forelock tugger. The only thing you need to participate in those things is enough money.

 

No need for participants to own guns, they could easily use ones provided by those running the events.

In 2021, council estate residents are allowed to shoot clays and grouse.

can i correct you there , to shoot properly a gun has to be fitted its not like hiring the sweaty shoes at the bowling alley! there are many variations to a good gun fit there is no way it could be  a free for all.

there are also different guns for game and for clays, god forbid using a 32 for game!

totally agree some estates breed some jolly fine beaters, cash in hand and  the benefits!

seriously though gun licences in a tower block is not a good idea.

No, gentlemen who participate in grouse shooting WANT guns, they dont need to do it. And for all you know the incel nut job did do some form of recreational shooting. I hope so anyway, or the local plod have an awful lot to answer for.

I tend to think the grouse may need guns.
