Well i always wanted an air rifle. The kid next door had one when I was a kid. And now I'm in my 60's I'm having a great time blasting away in my back garden. I'm going to join a gun club and buy a serious weapon that i can shoot in competitions with.

To be honest I get a bit pissed off with the anti gun lobby. I wouldn't want guns all around the place like they are in America. But I always felt sorry for my sister's little boy, who wasn't allowed a toy gun when he was a kid.

As for gun magazines - have you read them....? they could be calculated to put people off owning a gun. I bought one last week, and there's this long article about a man who hides behind dustbins and shoots rats. Seriously....who in their right mind would actually WANT to do that!

As for picketting WH Smiths.... do something useful. Picket a bank! Picket a tory! When will it stop? Are you going to object to people reading fishing magazines, livestck magazines, pornography...guitar magazines....after all think of all those Brazilian forests cut down to make guitars.

It seems a very oblique way of remedying the world's ills.
