I wonder if the government is gonna be able to handle the pressure from 3 old ladies about something that hasn't happened in 19 years.

Couldn't get to the article before; seems to need the / at the end:

I guess a teenaged boy would refer to the woman on the right, who I would guess is Ms MacIntosh, whose husband was killed, as an "old lady". But then, not many grown women give a shit about much of anything teenaged boys say.

That day Robert James Sartin got hold of a double-barrelled shotgun and, dressed in black with dark glasses, got into his car outside his parents’ home in Monkseaton.

Over the next 15 minutes he killed Ken Mackintosh, Pam’s husband, and injured 14 other people in the village.

... They say firearms and ammunition should not be allowed to be sold in urban areas; sales of firearms should be restricted to registered gun clubs; guns should not allowed to be stored in homes, only at registered gun clubs, and gun users should not be allowed to transport them by road, rail or air.

Which, heck, is pretty much what I'd say if I lived there.

Here, we have a bit more wilderness and wide-open country, and some people have a bit more need to have firearms that aren't related to sports shooting. Nobody in a city does, though.
