Some Notes On The Cumbria Shootings by pdb
# Derrick Bird spent three and a half hours shooting people with (presumably) a sporting double with birdshot. Yet in all that time, he was tailed by police and they never closed to engage! Are cops over there cockless cowards or what?
# In the hands of a psychopath, even a Fudd-friendly, slow to reload sporting double with wimpy birdshot can rack up a big score

The comments are good as well.
Note that when you make the populace meek and unable to resist a several hour rampage of one man with a 22 and a shotgun, consider how weak they'd be at the hands of a government with aims of control.
If you the public is totally helpless at the machinations of one nut, what will they do against a state with totalitarian goals?
Or is it as most of us fear, already far, far too late?
