South Down MP Margaret Ritchie, SDLP, said, she was "deeply saddened" to learn of the death.

Mrs Ritchie's MLA colleague, Colin McGrath, said a robust safety investigation should be carried out to maximise safety and ensure such an accident does not happen again.


Sometimes, politicians should learn that they don't always have to 'say something'. I mean, who would have thought about maximising safety or ensuring such an 'accident' never happens again? A whole new concept for firearms, surely. Who's have thought it.
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?

"It happened near Downpatrick on Sunday afternoon. They said the man, who was in his 60s, died after a "firearm was discharged"."

Intriguing, perhaps the clay pigeon struck back ala Moby DIck. :? :? :? :?
