Did this even get reported in the US?

we have hundreds of murders every week Tom, your infreaquent murders even multiple ones is not a blip on our screen. Well, except the Negligent homicide on the oil rig.
 
But that is not an argument for the failure of gun control. Mr. Cameron was speaking common sense in the context of a nation that has taken strong and reasonable steps to do something to confront gun violence. By contrast, governments in the United States dare not confront the obvious problem, cowed by a gun lobby that believes the Second Amendment is an absolute constitutional right like no other. Too often, when the switch flicks in a disturbed American's head, a gun is readily at hand.

You're right, because Britain's laws concerning self-defense make so much sense: http://geoff82.wordpress.com/2006/11/27/the-right-to-self-defense/

A homeowner who discovered two robbers in his home held them with a toy gun while he telephoned the police. When the police arrived they arrested the two men, and also the homeowner, who was charged with putting someone in fear with a toy gun. An elderly woman who scared off a gang of youths by firing a cap pistol was charged with the same offense.

Thank God for the 2nd Amendment, without which, leftists would have long ago stripped us of our absolute right to personal security.
