Reporter/camera man murdered.

[Fidel_Castronaut]

The only people overlooking the primary lesson are people who insinuate this happened for anything other than the fact the perp had access to guns. 

This shit would not, and does not, happen in the UK. It is certainly a much rarer occurrence than the US. Why's that I wonder? Must be a coincidence.

Brits are sheep who are OK with being oppressed. 

Historically, Americans have short fuses when it comes to putting up with assholes and are willing to blow them away even if it costs them their own lives.  

As H.L. Mencken said in 1926:  "The great masses of men, though theoretically free, are seen to submit supinely to oppression and exploitation of a hundred abhorrent sorts. Have they no means of resistance? Obviously they have. The worst tyrant, even under democratic plutocracy, has but one throat to slit. The moment the majority decided to overthrow him he would be overthrown. But the majority lacks the resolution; it cannot imagine taking the risks."

 

Sure the guy shooting up those reporters felt liberated, and I'm equally sure those being murdered were glad that at least they were senselessly murdered for the right reasons.

Please can you post serious retorts instead of silly things like insinuating just because there is very strict regulations on firearms An entire population is therefore 'oppressed', and indeed the solution to fighting oppression is automatically firearms? It's not conducive to good debate.
