Someone obviously didn't inform these two people that you aren't allowed to do this in the peaceful and enlightened land of the UK.

Wait, but England's super strict gun control prevents this from happening!

Pretty poor journalism there, many crucial aspects are not mentioned.

Yup, police should catch these two, prosecute and hopefully, put this in a larger plan of further gun control - I'm thinking new laws on imitation and air-firearms, easier opportunities for stop/searching, less paperwork for stop/searching, heavier penalties for drug related crimes, newer employment strategies for the police for more constant policing on firearms specifically, better(heavier) application of the law whenever possible and a perhaps further restrictions and naming and shaming (Definitely shaming) those involved with the likes of the BASC etc...

I'm very surprised by the location - although it is less than twenty five miles from Birmingham...

"Stop/searching" is a clear and unambiguous sign of policy failure.

See folks, this is what gun controllers actually think like. Here we have a crime without any real details as to the weapon used or anything else, but this guy is already espousing that it should be used as an excuse to further regulate a bunch of non-guns that weren't used in the crime, escalate the failed drug war, further erode what paltry civil liberties the British have left, and shame(?) completely innocent sportsmen and conservationists, none of which had *anything* to do with the incident in question. Honestly, I'd insult him, but I don't think I can say anything more damaging than he did.

I highly doubt she was killed by a BB gun. Perhaps if only her eye was shot out or something. Doubt she died of a heart attack from the fright from an imitation either.

Shaming criminals is fine, of course, but not the good folk; that's bullying and anti-social behavior.

Seems like it was a genuine firearm (multiple wounds -- bet it was a sawn-off shotgun). How much would you like to bet that they didn't have the proper legal authorization to own it (plus sawn-off shotguns are illegal if that's what it was)?
