Bear in mind he is supposed to have a mental illness. Did he order the book on the internet? If not how? Strikes me his only purpose in life was to maintain gardens, a pastime that he loved.
And how much media attention has this received, almost fifty innocent people were gunned down in America the other day and after just one day it gets half a column on page six.
It takes years of knowledge and expertise to make weapons as you have indicated. He probably purchasd this Gun already modified with the intention of using to kill someone
If you are serious about purchasing a Gun there are many in the Criminal fraternity who will get you one for a fee. No questions asked.
Furthermore where did he practise firing at targets?
I think he must have colluded with someone controlling him and giving him orders.

A bitter disappointment to those who want to leave.

Hi
I am afraid I have to disagree.

The USA is a weird place where you could buy this sort of stuff quite legally.
It is an extract from a training manual.
Instructions for making simple guns from readily available bits are also available on the Internet.
Guns can also be made from ABS Plastic by any one having access to a 3D printer.
The bombs recently used in Paris and Belgium were made from two ingredients , Hair Bleach and nail polish remover.
The world is a dangerous place at the moment.

Re: Jo Cox MP critically injured amid shooting reports
A working gun has been made using a 3D printer.Small firearms with the intent for very close proximity use, where accuracy isn't an issue(a few feet)do not need to be machine barrelled.
I am not guessing what was used, just answering the homemade theory.

Re: Jo Cox MP critically injured amid shooting reports
HiIt is true Azure that the Police have not issued details about the type of gun used.
I was merely taking issue with your statement that it was inconceivable that it was homemade and that it takes years of expertise to make one.
It isn't, a simple working gun can be made easily at home using stuff purchased cheaply from the local DIY shed.

Re: Jo Cox MP critically injured amid shooting reports
I would agree with you there, I could probably make something that would fire once, but not three times. I read one report that said it was a "cut down" conventional weapon. Maybe modified .410 shotgun? Many years ago we did modify a number one bore "garden gun" to fire .22 bullets, so it is possible.19-06-2016, 09:38 PM

Looking back, I must have been mad!
Some other projects included Model Cannon's (that really fired bearings) Rockets (never managed a successful flight) and many explosive devices using a variety of home made concoctions (with some frightening results) but that's another story.
