Some gunfreak attacked the center of Liège yesterday, randomly shooting a kalashnikov around and throwing grenades...

Sad part is, he was convicted for illegal possession of firearms, but was released on terms.

EDIT: Apparantly, the number of dead and injured seams to differ from source to source. The dutch part of that website says 5 dead and 122 killed now, I guess they'll update it on the fly.

How did the maniac get grenades and an AK

Who knows? Apparantly it's not all that hard to get...

So in other words the ban on guns is only for lawful people
Crazy shit happening everywhere right now

If they had followed him up correctly, the ban on guns would have worked. He was convicted for having heavy weapons, yet a year after his release on terms he has enough firepower to take over a small country.

This will rise a new debate over police and the communication between different instances.

Bureaucracies are too cumbersome to enforce a ban on anything
Only society as a whole can ban anything
They dried it on alcohol it brought us Al Capone
We tried it on cocaine it brought us the Cartels
Unenforceable laws will never work

When I agree with grunt I seem to absolutely agree...

Of course you can't completely ban it, but at least shit like this isn't all day news.

You can't force people to stop driving too fast, or drunk, but at least the effect of having it prohibited is saving a lot of lives. Same with guns.

And this also could have been avoided.
