[Indiana_Jones]

I could spend $600 on an Apple toy, or a new rifle.....hmmmmm let's think about that lol

but yea, back on topic, Chris mentioned MDU or Wolf (can't remember now) sent him a cd with 100's of different targets on it. what sorts you got on it?

I can print some off etc if need be

edit - I'm also reliably informed they're a paperweight... and (dragging this back on topic...) ... a target

Now we're talkin'!

Well I guess that narrows it down, don't it?

Cool...! Standard sigting targets, competition targets, rifle, pistol, long range, short range, animals, silhouettes... tons of stuff mate...

'Tweren't me.

'Twas me!

[Wolf]

'Twas me!

Cool, can I have a copy, please - that way, if anyone gets us confused again, I can at least give them a copy...

I'll have to remember to bring a CD over next time I go to Chris's place.

Fox hunting is one topic... but the gun surrender stuff is REAL interesting - along with the associated jump in crime stats.

That video made my blood boil.

I try to follow Spankme's 1st post here, keep it about guns and now laws. Just makes arguments and before you know it we'll be the Scottish thread parte the II.

First time I've had a look at this thread.

Ned, that's an appallingly biased and shallow report but I can understand the interest in it. It could have been made by the American Riflemans Association rather than a "news" studio.

First - Tony Martin, the farmer who shot and killed an intruder. He was convicted of murder by a jury which had the option of manslaughter. Generally juries acquit these sort of cases.

Secondly, Tony Martin was found to suffer from paranoid personality disorder, not exactly a poster-boy for the right to bear arms. Ultimately he served 3 years and is a free man today.

Thirdly, the report relies upon the assertion of an activist that armed crime has skyrocketed in the UK since pistols were withdrawn from the general public. No independent backup. There is also an anonymous polceman who says the same. I'd be more convinced if the Police union was doing the talking - openly - like they do here.

Ultimately all I can suggest is we consider the USA where personal weapons abound and ask ourselves if we'd be safer if we could do the same.

Back to the guns....

This looks great!

+1 - exactly why I posted it. Compare that with the Swiss who have a gun in every house...

One country has the fundamental right to bear arms and form militias... the other has the ways of the military forced upon them. It seems the latter works better...

... and that's gross oversimplification I know...

Gun crime, goes up... Crimes like posession of illigal firearms?
