The Associated Press: UK taxi driver kills 12, wounds 25 in rampage

SEASCALE, England — A taxi driver drove his vehicle on a shooting spree across a tranquil stretch of northwest England on Wednesday, methodically killing 12 people and wounding 25 others before turning the gun on himself, officials said. The rampage in the county of Cumbria was Britain's deadliest mass shooting since 1996 and it jolted a country where handguns are banned and multiple shootings rare.

Well, it's a good thing the U.K. banned its subjects from carrying handguns for self defense, otherwise one of the 12 murder victims might have gotten hurt!!



Looks like a shotgun and a .22 rifle were used, so I guess lawful U.K. gun owners can say goodbye to owning them as well....

I am listening to 5 Live's Nicky Campbell's morning call-in show on this.

Interesting to hear them debate guns.

When I first read about this, I was half expecting his name to be Travis.

Not sure why.

If you ignore these stories, gun control really works!
