What are the gun laws like in the UK? Anyone can buy one?
Very tight restrictions.

Illegal to own many types of gun.

Illegal to own other sorts of guns without a license.

Fuck knows.

There will be an investigation, then an inquiry, then they will probably make some changes to the gun laws, if he had acquired the arms legally.

If he had got them illegally, there isn't much that can be done.

The region in England he lived (very rural and with a large and famous national park) suggests that he might well have been a shooting club member, but the weapons don't sound legal. A doctor who inspected the first two people to die said that he hadn't seen shotgun wounds like that before, so it may have been modified.

They can go bad-boys hunting, they always do :weee:

Yes. No one ever thought of terrorism before 9/11, nor carried out a multi-decade bombing campaign in, say, England.
Again, I said usually. Muslims are usually the suspects after every terrorist attack, other groups just fall in as 2nd or 3rd option.

Apparently he did have the license for them guns according to some reports but yes they were some crazy guns. Locallers claimed he was a nice and quiet guy, lived alone (not suprising) and he knew some of the ones he shot, maybe theres a motive behind it?

Agree with JBF and Fred, had this guy been a muslim I would have liked to have known how this one turned out in the media and investigation.

The media would have been speculating wildly, but the investigation would be carried out properly.
