"The Washington Sniper"

Have I missed something? What, is this man just casually moving from place to place picking off random people?
Why?

BBut Bartender what if the King of England invades you home... you need to have a gun to protect you and your family.

Balls

You can buy guns in supermarkets in America, but you need to go buy alcohol in a seperate shop.

Well I think that was it, can't remember.

this is what happens when one of the most fundamental constitutions in your country is the right to bear arms.

That combined with the kind of crap that they put on the TV next to the completely inoffensive manner of retail, leaving people pondering the greater questions of morality.

Let me put it better:

You can buy a gun, no fuss. But if you want most of the Prodigy singles, some of which contain offensive material, you have to import it.

SO, you can own a weapon easilly capable of killing people, but songs with naughty words are bad.

etc etc etc.

Americans - architects of their own inevitable downfall.

It must take some sick person to go around killing people who are filling up their car or something

He's not really moving from place to place too much - all the shootings have been fairly localised.

It's got the country in a frenzy - there's nothing else on the news (I'm in the US at the moment), and it's being talked about left right and centre.

The irony is that there's on average over 40 shootings a day in the country, which get no media coverage. And there's been a massive rise in the sales of handguns in the Washington area, as citizens buy pistols to protect themselves. From a sniper. That they never see.

Hmm.

Why?
He's a psychopath.
