I spend quite alot of time in England because of my job and I have to say that 75-80% of the Brits I work with aren't scared of guns and actually enjoy shooting. When they come over here it's not at all uncommon for them to visit the local shooting ranges and rent guns for target practice. It's just my opinion, but I think that all of the gun and knife hysteria is driven by a very small vocal minority. The biggest problem is that (IMHO) the average Brit doesn't like to be confrontational and so these small minority never get told how stupid they really are . . . . . I've never understood why this is so, because I've been in many a debate in many a pub and I have to say that I think I've lost almost every single one.

It's kind of like politicaly correctness taken to an extreme over there. The thing that really blows your mind is that sexual harassment is almost none existent. You wouldn't believe some of the things that my female co-workers have said to me.

Have a good one,
Dave
