21. WTF - "We shouldn't make any knee-jerk reaction..."
Edited on Thu Jun-03-10 03:47 PM by Xela
You mean short of complete disarmament? I mean, what else is there left for gun owners in the UK?

"The prime minister said he would do everything possible to help "mend the hurt" of communities and "to make sure that everything is done to make sure that events like this cannot happen again in our country".

However, he said the UK's rules on firearms ownership were already among the world's toughest.

"We shouldn't make any knee-jerk reaction to think that there is some instant legislative or regulatory answer," he said.

"You can't legislate to stop a switch flicking in someone's head and for this dreadful sort of action to take place," he added."
