Ms Ambler told the BBC: "If Rob hadn't had access to such a deadly weapon, there's a chance that Kelly, Ava and Lexi could still be here.
"This could have been prevented if gun licensing guidance was tougher."It's not already tough enough? And deranged men and women haven't managed the same result with ordinary household items?
Kelly’s family want to see people who lie on their applications banned from re-applying, as well as licences to be reviewed more frequently.
Which wouldn't have done a single thing to prevent this murder, because it only came to light after he'd done it. And where are the police going to find the time?
They also want closer working between GPs and police forces and for people with recurring periods of depression to be barred from getting a licence.
That'll be good, since the GPs are just sitting there twiddling their thumbs, waiting for something to do...

I believe most GPs are busy improving their golf handicap.
They already stop people with mental issues getting licenses. In my area if you have had a bout of depression you can't get one and if you have one they will take it away.
So this means that people that get depression, instead of getting treatment they rough it out instead.
I'm willing to bet though that the three incidents in Liverpool recently they were not depressed, until they were caught anyway, and nobody checked their mental state when they bought their weapons.
We need to ban something else, not sure yet, but banning works every time. Let's ban people. Oh, they are working on that already.
"I believe most GPs are busy improving their golf handicap."
Quite!

The lack of opprtunity to see a GP might hinder that process in future...
