Surely you are not suggesting that our world-class press are guilty of sensationalism, particularly in the context of firearms?? Whatever next……

I thought the only dual purpose (semi auto/ pump) was the Spas-12??

I know. Who'd have thought it?

A sad story. A young man is a bit silly - which most would agree is part of the basic build spec - and a passer-by with no sense of context but an excess of paranoia/malice (take your pick) decides they have good reason to do something that will blot his copybook for the rest of his life. Well done them! And what a bloody waste all round!

Maybe from "a sad loner with an arsenal of weapons" or "a Lord of War part-time firearms dealer " or possibly as a last possibility "a weapons obsessed firearms enthusiast"? A quick read through back copies of provincial newspapers will list all of them that you could ever need to know.

I'd suggest the accuseds' local Police station...

Ahh, the Franchi-SPAS . It makes me think of the 1980s.

Shakespeare said it best.

Much ado about nothing.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Sounds like he’d been “A bit silly” before having already collected a drink drive conviction.

Having read the above, I wouldn't say I'm 'obsessed', but I would describe myself as 'a firearms enthusiast'. Being such, wouldn't put the loss of my sport, activities, hobby and possession of my firearms at risk... but then I'm over twice his age...
