from the UK Linky Ammunition found in family massacre home (Filed: 13/07/2006) Ammunition has been recovered from a house where four members of a family were massacred, police said today. Police search teams found a bullet and several war-related news magazines in the house where David Bradley is alleged to have murdered his uncle, aunt and two cousins. Peter Purcell and his wife Josie, both 70, and sons Keith, 44, and Glen, 41, all died from gunshot wounds at the house in Benwell Grove, Newcastle, which they shared with Bradley. Bradley, 41, a former Royal Artillery private and Gulf War veteran, has been remanded in custody to appear at Newcastle Crown Court next week accused of the four killings. He was arrested at 6.15am on Sunday when he walked into his local police station on Westgate Road and said there were four bodies at the house. >sigh< |

I heard the Japanese are real anal when it comes to keeping track of "ammunition" I've heard that every single BB needs to be logged and accounted for and if one is mising the shop owner is in some big trouble.

But, but..... Handguns are banned here, so how could he have killed those people???  I'm almost waiting for the ignorant British public to start baying: They should ban guns/Guns are so easy to get blah blah blah! A lot of people don't realise handguns are already banned (prohibited) here, and that FAC/firearm holders in the UK are THE MOST law-abiding people in the country - you take a wrong step and they'll revoke your FAC.What you guys in the US don't see is regular local newspaper headlines (Evening Standard), like the one I see out from the window where I work in Farringdon, London "Gun point muggings soar". Just ask people in Nottingham about gun crime. Of course the mainstream media would never focus on this...all they show in on that socialist news channel called the BBC is the headlines Knife Amnesty nets 90 000 knives. Then some police captain comes on interview proclaiming how much safer the streets are now that 90k knives have been handed in. Argh... |
Serious question. Has your country slipped so far into the abyss that 'like-minded' people such as yourself can't do anything about it??? When was the last time anyone tried??......
