Indeed.
Motive?
The only details about the suspect I've seen are that he was a 25 year-old man.

They're not saying anything. He doesn't look like an obvious choice for any kind of politically or terrorist motivated killing - he was relatively low profile, essentially a professional back bench MP of long-standing.

Do you honestly think arming everybody would make things better?
Not sure about the bows and arrows comment - that was Norway, not the UK. This guy used a knife.

Well, there appear to be a lot more killers in some countries than in others. Maybe it's the education system.

In my lifetime, there have been 6 British MP's murdered, 2 of them in the last 5 years.
4 were killed by Irish Republican terrorists, 1 by a Scottish white-supremacist, and 1 it appears by an Islamic terrorist.
Maybe they should just deport everybody.
I was only joking

Wow. I had no idea.

Was this by one-on-one killings, or bombing, etc?
1 by a Scottish white-supremacist
Insert Mel Gibson quote here...

You're a racist.
Maybe they should just deport everybody
And a xenophobe.

@doctor-phibes not to make light of any of this, but I must admit that I have never heard the use of the word surgery as a political meeting.
You British are funny with our language.
I swear, reading your list, I thought what a weird coincidence that more than one MP was killed at a doctors office. Then I realized I must be missing something

I got paywalled out of NYT before I could copy the bit, but I gather 'surgeries' in British politics is the one-on-one meeting between the Member and a constituent. Phibes, please correct me if I'm wrong.
The bit also mentioned that Sir David mentioned in a book he wrote that surgeries needed to be done away with as dangerous for the Members.
