    An interesting game show from Britain

    I heard about this show, starshot, from older shooters, both online & in person, where professional shooters are paired up with celebrities, like Suzie Quattro & Ian Botham (The cricketer) to compete in clay pigeon shooting. This was a BBC production & it ran until late 1987 & was dropped, due...

    Would you bother owning a handgun under these conditions?

    Oh right,well I commend your polititions for doing that & at least they had the spine,to stand up to the GCN-influenced,Labour Party,unlike our polititions who'd do anything to stay in power.Liberals I don't think are quite welcome in Northern Ireland..lol.Even Blair never believed in the pistol...

    Would you bother owning a handgun under these conditions?

    I don't know about about Australia, but the UK has no unified body representing gun owners. The only organisation that has fought hard against recently proposed legislation and consultations is the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, but it is aimed at hunters and shotgunners. The...

    The next time someone says "no one uses an AR to hunt"

    "No one uses an AR-15 to hunt"? This is what the anti-gun lobby wants people to think,because in their view these things are unnessecary & Rebecca Peters admitted in the gun debate,in London last year that she knew people used them for hunting in Australia(before the 1996 ban)but thought of them...

    Only Military and Police should have guns

    Police Officers cannot always be trusted to use their weapons properly either.There are members of the public whom are better trained & focused than they are.Polititions are so annoying.

    My philosophy for debating antis

    Not all guns were outlawed,like in Venezuela,as we don't have a total ban & this only applies to the British mainland countries,England,Scotland &Wales.The Isle Of Man & Northern Ireland & The Channel Islands,don't have our bans in place.Yes you are correct about what happend in Britain.Also...

    Chinese using AKs during 1962 border war with India

    Actually I think the AK47 appeared in Cuba in the late 50s because I noticed one attatched to a Willys Jeep,in a photo that included Castro & Guevara,dated 1957,in my old highschool,history-textbook.Yes its likely Russian advisors brought them over then.

    Chinese using AKs during 1962 border war with India

    Do you mean the Indian Armed Forces or Indian Citizens?If you are talking about Indian civillians,then yes those citizens(Usually wealthy ones)did own Lee Enfields,before the Indian Arms Act came into force,I think,in 1959 & another in 1962 called The Arms Rules Act 1962.After that they couldn't...

    Would Banning Firearms Reduce Murder and Suicide?

    No amount of gun control will ever stop suicides.If a gun is not available,then a person may hang themselves,gas themselves,with carbon-monoxide(Attatching a hose pipe from the exaust pipe,into the car:-),jump off a bridge,etc. Also no amount of stricter storage regulations will stop children...

    Coming out as a gun owner

    Its nice to read so many positive aspects of shooters coming out into the open & admitting their hobbies to their girlfriends on dates,however the same can't be said for my good self.Shooting sports & girls in the UK,don't always mix too well,most of the time & I was incredibly foolish to...

    Taking a hoplophobe to the range.

    Well just reassure her of how safe the shooting range environment is & be there for her,every step of the way.Perhaps start her off with a basic,airgun,progressing onto a Co2-powered rifle,like a Crossman,etc,until she gets to a low-powered,bullet-firing gun.Give her lengthy lectures on every...
