I’m feeling a little guilty today. There I was in yesterday’s blog talking about how families can have fun galore shooting each other in our Laser Tag game and then two total nutters go and shoot a total of 25 totally innocent men, women and in the Germany massacre……….children. And it’s the same in the UK. It used to be car alarms that kept urban Britain awake at night. Now it’s the distinctive ratatat of AK-47s and MAC-10s. Then all of sudden it’s all going off in Ireland as well with the shooting of two soldiers and a police officer.
Now, while I am sure it’s not difficult for the Irish dissidents and the bastard from Alabama to get hold of a gun how did the kid from Germany get one? And where are these schoolchildren who go to lessons every day with a Colt automatic under their blazers? And how are they getting hold of guns and paying for them when they spend all their money on texting? I like to think that I have my finger on the pulse, but if I were charged with the task of buying a machinegun, I really wouldn’t have a clue where to start. So, before I start today’s blog please forgive my gun blog thingy yesterday. The timing could not have been worse and my thoughts are with the families whose loved ones were taken from them by two very troubled and now thank goodness…. very dead men.
