UK Gun Control FAIL.
In the U.S., Muslims have taken over the taxi industry....In fact, Muslims driving cabs are circling most of our major airports as I type.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
That was my thought. impossible, guns are illegal there.
I’m wondering that.
Except for his “friend,” most of the shootings seem to be random.
Very strange.

Yikes.
More from the very detailed London Times chronology:
A neighbour of Derrick Bird, the murder suspect, tells us he is the “last person” he would have expected to be involved in a series of murders.
Mr Wilson says he “never had a problem with him” and he’s “lived in the area for a long time. My son went to school with his son. I’m not sure if he was married. He had a partner at one point but not for several years. Everybody in a 10-15 mile radius would know him, because everyone mixed with him. He was very sociable.
“He’s the last person you’d expect [to do this] - a very, very positive view, into quite a lot of things.
“His son was into motorbikes and everything, into scuba diving. Most of his taxi business was in Whitehaven... so he’s well known there too.”
