Reporter/camera man murdered.

[AFTT47]

People are overlooking the primary lesson from incidents such as this. 

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.

Nap, I'll assume from that you live in the UK. You're profile is of no help as as I have no idea what "Beyond the Wall" means. Assuming you are from the UK, I can understand your befuddlement with the seeming fixation the U.S. has with firearms. We are as flummoxed by the fact that a major 21st century democratic society actually has a queen. It's a cultural thing and those things can run pretty deep.

The U.S. is NOT going to become a gun-free society anytime soon. Don't bother going there because it's not going to happen. It's about as realistic as you guys getting rid of the silly royals and your pansy soccer team and start playing REAL football.

Pissed yet? Good. Now you know how the gun lovers here feel. That's how these cultural things work. It's like religion. It's emotional. As I said up-post, I think the American infatuation with guns is even more emotionally entrenched than it is with Christianity.
