Why are Brits so Obsessed with Guns?

There;s more coverage of this Arizona congresswoman in the british press than there was when yur own British MP last year faced an attempted assination attempt.

There were plenty of gun rampages of yur own in britain recently.

Brits seem to have short memories.

Why would they be the crosshairs of a submarine? The crosshairs were used to "target" those seats she was hoping the Tea Party could win I believe, crosshairs are always associated with guns

What was the case of a British MP having an attempt made on their life, remind me

There havent been "plenty" there's been two, and people havent forgotten them but this shooting in the US is current, Derrick Bird & Raul Moat are not. There was a huge amount of media interest in the two events when they were happening though. These instances are far more common in the States and the fact that it may have been politically motivated is what makes it of such interest
