"The "liberal" media is in fact very extreme, they promote an extreme agenda."
No they don't - if they did they wouldn't be "liberal" - a contradiction in terms - unlss you have a dictionary the rest of us don't have access to, of course - always a possibility, of course.
Arguments I've had with you in the past have led me to the conclusion that your definition of 'liberal' is anybody who doesn't agree with you or whose lifestyle offends you in one way or another.
All of which gets us nowhere and has nothing to do with the subject in hand - which is why it shouldn't have been introduced in the first place.
Here in the West of Ireland we are blessed with the presence of an American journalist, Mary Ellen Synon (former mistress to the deputy governor of the Bank of England), who wrote regularly for the Irish press until she upset the relly "liberal" minded people of Ireland by describing the Paralympics as "grotesque".
Some years ago she was interviewed on local "Kerry" radio talking about weapon ownership in rural Ireland
She made the astounding statement that is was not only the right, but the duty of all rural dwellers to own a gun
This was around the time when an Irish farmer had executed a Traveller.
The victim, John Ward, was found wandering around a farmyard by the owner, who went in for sis gun, shot him, beat him with a wooden post, then went in, reloaded the gun and executed him as he lay on the ground.
The farmer never denied having done what he did, but he pleaded "fear" as being the excuse
He fully expected to receive a custodial sentence and got his affairs in order in preparation - he was acquitted, probably because his victim was a Traveller
The farmer, the journalist and a legal system that nods through such decisions are three good reasons for not allowing widespread gun ownership as far as I'm concerned.
As for the widespread rural recreational "sport" of 'killing for pleasure' - don't get me started!
