Pictured: The moment a deranged mother held a gun to her son's head and executed him.

Jesus Christ, I truly am shocked.

An article in the Mail that avoids superlatives, gives the facts and doesn't express an outraged opinion. Who knew?

I don't see how it's a consequence of loose gun laws. It was in a shooting range: they exist, and are pretty easily accessible, in almost all countries with strict gun laws, this one included.

The news report said she had been banned. Yet, she was still allowed entry

No that has nothing to do with gun legislation, it has everything to do with range policy.

Whatever; the difference is negligable.

Someone who has been in and out of psychiatric institutions and has been suffering psychosis should not be allowed access to firearms. It's a no-brainer.

No, it's really not. Have you ever been on a range? Ever held a real firearm?

Whatever; the difference is negligable.

Never been on a range, but back when I lived in the US, I used to shoot a 12-gauge, as my friend (rather stupidly) was given one for his 13th birthday.

Besides, my personal experience with firearms is irrelivent. It doesn't take such a thing to realise someone suffering with such severe delusions is probably not the best person to be in control of a firearm.

What exactly is the point you're trying to make here, anyway?

I don't understand why she had to kill her son to send him to heaven. Why couldn't she have just killed herself and sent herself to hell?

They weren't. The rules were broken by the range or the guy attending the range, obviously.

Let's say its illegal to drive a car if you're blind (it probs is) and then you go and drive a car when you're blind, does that mean blind driving rules are loose or does it mean the law has been improperly enforced?
