Paul James has it totally right!

Henners, I still hold an FAC as well as a shot gun licence and I still only put holes in bits of paper and smash inocent clay pidgeons now and again.

The banning of hand guns, by the government, after Dunblane was a knee jerk reaction aimed at getting the vote in a general election and it worked, it also deprived a lot of people of a very pleasant past time and forced many many guns onto the black market for criminals. We must also not forget how many legitimate gun shops that went out of business and how many people lost there livings because of the government.

As to the question of the Olympic UIT shooting, I also think that the uk should not have been awarded the games due to the fact that we cannot train in the Uk in that dicipline.....................although I have heard a rumor that the government might relent and allow ownership of .22 & ,32 caliber guns so that we can train for the games....................mmmmmmmmmm I wonder!!!
