Oh, dear, not this BS again. Luck had nothing to do with it. The fantasists you mention had a more difficult time getting their guns because of our gun controls. If they lived in the US they just have to walk into a supermarket and put the gun(s) of their choice into their trolley. Shotguns and rifles are NOT illegal in the UK.Hey idiot, how often does this happen in the UK. And try to be honest.
But....But.....they have gun control in Britain......right? Then how did this baby get shot in the head in a country that banned handguns?
4 people shot in the middle of a street in Britain..........in gun controlled Britain....
A two-year-old boy who was shot in the head survived after the bullet missed a crucial artery by 1mm, his family have revealed, as they appealed for anyone with information on the shooting to come forward.
The toddler was one of four people, including his mother, who were shot in Energen Close, Harlesden, north-west London, on 3 June.

So.....which British gun control law kept these shooters, in Britain, from killing a bunch of kids in a public school?

Doctor found with stash of guns and NHS hitlist jailed
A former doctor has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for stockpiling guns with the intent to endanger life.
Martin Watt was found with three submachine guns, two pistols and 1,500 live cartridges at a property in Cumbernauld, Scotland, last year.
The 62-year-old had lost his job at Monklands hospital in North Lanarkshire in 2012 after disciplinary hearings. His marriage broke down around the same time, the high court in Glasgow was told.
Watt had compiled a list of names and addresses of some colleagues involved in the disciplinary process, which the judge, Valerie Stacey, said Watt had referred to as an assassination list.

Here is the updat, the original is below..
Yep.....this 19 year old got bombs and a glock 19 and 94 rounds of 9mm ammo on the dark web in Britain in order to murder people at the University he used to attend..........
I guess their gun control laws stopped him...right? Or was it pure, dumb luck.....?

British teen sentenced to life for planned school attack
Despite some of the tightest gun control on the planet, a British man was able to acquire a handgun, extended mags and explosives as part of a plot to attack his former school.
Liam Lyburd, 19, of Newcastle upon Tyne, was sentenced to life imprisonment this week on eight charges of possessing weapons with intent to endanger life.
As noted by the BBC, Lyburd gathered a cache that included a Glock 19, three 33-round magazines, 94 hollow-point bullets, CS gas, five pipe bombs and two other improvised explosive devices despite the country’s long history of civilian arms control.
According to court documents, Lyburd planned to use the weapons in an attack on Newcastle College, from which he had been expelled two years prior for poor attendance. He was arrested last November after two Northumbria Police constables visited him at his home on a tip from an individual who encountered threats and disturbing pictures posted by Lyburd online.
Despite a defense that portrayed the reclusive man as living in a fantasy world, Lyburd was found guilty in July.
The internet-savvy teen obtained the Glock and other items through Evolution Marketplace, a successor to the Silk Road, a long-time “dark web” site in which users could buy and sell everything from illegal narcotics to munitions using Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
In court, Lyburd testified that buying the Glock was so easy it was “like buying a bar of chocolate.”
He obtained funds for his purchases through a complex extortion scheme in which he used online malware to infect computers, which he in turn held for ransom from their owners.

'Gunman' walks into Liverpool nursery school as children were playing inside
Police have sealed off a children's nursery in Liverpool amid reports a gunman walked into the building while youngsters were inside.
Officers were called to Childs Play Nursery in Wavertree, Merseyside, at around 8am this morning.
The man, who is believed to have been carrying what looked like a firearm, walked into the nursery and approached another man.
He then left with a second man on the back of a motorbike.
Children among 10 people in hospital after mass shooting in Manchester
Ten people, including two children, were taken to hospital after a shooting at a street party in the Moss Side area of Manchester.
Armed police officers rushed to the scene on a residential street at 2.30am on Sunday, where a party was being held following a Caribbean Carnival at a nearby park.
Luck......since criminals have easy access to guns in Britain, they just don't use them to commit murder as often.....
Again...
Explain...how is it that in the U.S. as more Americans own and actually carry guns, our gun murder rate went down 49%....our gun crime rate went down 75%....
You need to explain that.....
Over the last 27 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 18.6 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
The anti-gun hypothesis and argument.....
More Guns = More Gun crime regardless of any other factors.
Actual Result:
In the U.S....as more Americans own and carry guns over the last 26 years, gun murder down 49%, gun crime down 75%, violent crime down 72%
The result: Exact opposite of theory of anti-gunners....
In Science when you have a theory, when that theory is tested....and the exact opposite result happens...that means your theory is wrong. That is science....not left wing wishful thinking.
Whatever the crime rate does......as more Americans owned more guns the crime rate did not go up....so again...
Britain...
More Guns = More Gun Crime
Britain had access to guns before they banned them.....they had low gun crime, low gun murder.
They banned guns, the gun murder rate spiked for 10 years then returned to the same level...
Your Theory again....
More guns = More Gun Crime
Guns Banned creates no change? That means banning guns for law abiding gun owners had no effect on gun crime.
When your theory states one thing, and you implement your theory, and nothing changes....in science, that means your theory is wrong...
