Sometimes I get so tired.

BRITAIN could see another massacre like that at Dunblane a decade ago because of the failure to set up a national gun register, a police chief warned yesterday

As relatives of the victims prepared to mark today's tenth anniversary of the tragedy, Sir Chris Fox, the president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, said complacency about our firearms legislation would be "foolish".

He said tightening gun laws had made a similar bloodbath "far more unlikely", but progress towards a national gun register had "not been as quick as it could be".

Sixteen children and their teacher were killed on 13 March, 1996 when Thomas Hamilton burst into Dunblane Primary School gym and opened fire, before shooting himself.

Yes, if Hamilton had only been registered he couldn’t have shot anyone. Violent crime, especially home invasions, has skyrocketed in the UK since gun laws were made more restrictive in the wake of the Dunblane massacre. So, using the “I’ve sawed that board off three times and its still too short”, logic there is a push to make the laws even more draconian.
As Theodore Dalrymple says, “Oh, to be in England”.
