Run for cover now

We are about to be swamped by a veritable tsunami of "learned comment and opinion" on the university killings in America. The Pro and Anti gun lobbies will run white hot. Switzerland's high level of gun availability but low gun crime will be teased out once more.

So, it was good to find a comment that is short and sweet and cuts to the heart of the problem. In fact, I think it is so good that for me it says all that needs to be said. Here, In MY World, no more will be written about the deaths.

Gun control

I have never understood the rationale behind the gun control laws in UK. The Swiss seem to be able to live in a sutuation where every Army reservist retains his semi-automatic service rifle and ammunition at home. America's rules regarding possession of firearms seem to thrive despite the number of occasions they are used to kill or are fired accidentally.

This article seems to be a good discussion of the matter but I cannot ever see any Government changing things now.
