Bang, Bang, Bang!

I walked towards the sound of the guns and found- to my relief- that it wasn't some loony in the back field blasting away at bunnies but a bunch of middle-aged blokes having a clay-pigeon shoot.

So much for rural peace and quiet.

A lot of money was going up in smoke. They'd been at it all afternoon.

Ailz asked my mother if she'd ever learned to shoot and she said she'd been taught by the Home Guard.

I quite like guns- the history of them, the romance of them- but I've never owned one and I haven't done any shooting since I was a kid.

I'm happy to live in a society which strictly limits gun ownership.

I wish I did. Guns are quite dangerous, they can be used for absolutely nothing other than some destructive purpose, and nearly any nut or idiot can get one here. It is insane.
