Jo Cox, British MP murdered by a "lone wolf"

A careful, considered short research article in 'The Conversation', a daily mainly UK academic newsletter:https://theconversation.com/how-illegal-firearms-find-their-way-onto-british-streets-despite-tough-laws-61239?

The author has had help from UK policing (via NABIS) and the ingenuity of those who seek lethal firearms is well explained. She ends with:

Without a doubt, so long as there remains a demand for firearms in Britain, the criminal underworld will use all its ingenuity to meet that demand and continued research into their methods and the vigilance of police forces will be required to keep them out.

Thanks for that insightful article on the subject of illegal firearms.

An outspoken MP ambushed outside her surgery, shot and stabbed multiple times, political extremist slogans shouted during the assassination and at the first hearing. A shocking crime, a political murder in a rather divisive campaign.

It is important to remember that the current German major of Cologne, Henriette Reker only narrowly survived an assassination attempt with many similarities. The German entry makes it clear that the brave quick action of many saved her, just.

Sadly MP Jo Cox didn't make it despite rapid and courageous help.
