They're doing it wrong

Two men were shot to death at an anti-gun event in supposedly "gun-free" London, England, and the shooter wasn't the only one packing heat, according to prosecutors:

"An alleged double killer, his accomplice and one of his victims were all carrying firearms at an anti-gun event in London, the Old Bailey heard today."

This unfortunate incident sadly illustrates all too well the lack of success that strict gun control achieves in disarming the criminal element of a country, and how the such a ban leaves law-abiding citizens to be sitting ducks for the armed thugs, who don't care a whit about whether guns are banned or not.

Oh, and about the concept of swift justice? Nay nay, as comedian John Pinette would say. This crime happened in December 2002, and the bewigged court functionaries over there are only now getting around to trying the alleged perpetrator, seven years later (during which time the suspect's alleged accomplice was killed in yet another unrelated shooting incident, by the way).

That draconian gun ban is really working out well for Britain's peasants, isn't it? Perhaps U.S. Attorney General Eric "Neutral, leaning towards favorable" Holder should peek at the results England is getting before attempting to duplicate many aspects of their ban in our country.

They shoulda coulda waited a couple more years for trial and maybe just maybe all the principals would have been shot to death.
