Energyplay, In Australia in 1996 a particularly vicious lone nut named Bryant shot up Tasmania, killing 35 people in one day, right on the eve of a big gun control initiative, which TWO WEEKS later became law. Bryant has the typical profile, with prozac and shrinks, and strange unexplained contacts with undercover cops beforehand. In 1996 in Dunblane, Scotland, right after the Tasmania rampage, a nut named Hamilton shot up a school and killed seventeen young kids. Six weeks later a unknown group surfaced, well funded and organized and brought forward a national "anti-gun" petition. In 1997 Blair signed a law banning gun ownership. With the Dunblane killing, in addition to the usual factors (shrinks, prozac and police contacts) you had a really strange event in the aftermath: A Lord Cullen lead an official inquiry into the affair. BUT, the findings of the inquiry were sealed for 100 years under a "Queen's Seal". There are a bunch more of these, all in the same pattern. Don't think for a minute that it is an accident. BUT, there is hope! Technology has made gun control laws obsolete. A CNC machine hid in a shack can turn out guns by the bunches, and the country has MILLIONS of CNC machines. Right now, the Philippines, which has had strict gun control (for honest, law abiding people, anyway) since 1972 is AWASH in locally made pistols and rifles, made in small shops everywhere and on old second hand CNC machines. I have bought everybody in the family a weapon for home protection. A system that can pull off an event like 911 and get away with it can surely create a school shooter on demand. BTW, Sweden has some unusual features to their gun control law. There, the law requires that owners of antique rifles, say WWI era Swedish Mausers, or the like, turn them in to the police station. But the police, legally, I suppose, resell the guns to internationl gun dealers, and in such quantity that there are available here and elsewhere in the sort of volume that usually comes from releases from the military when the sell obsolete surpulus rifles. Interesting, huh? Slagle
