Protecting children from hunting and shooting magazines
« on: October 16, 2012, 11:15:19 PM »
WH Smith, which operates stores and newstands in Britain, will now require ID for purchase of gun-related publications. Minimum age is 14.

I predict this will do wonders for Britain's crime rate.

I think the issue was more about animal rights.

Oh, yeah, guess so. Then I predict it will do wonders for Britain's animal friends.

I leave my old NRA and hunting mags at my doctors offices.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

At last!  The source of those months-old magazines is revealed.

Now if we could just find the SOB who tears all the "good" pictures out of the National Geographics before abandoning them.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

I sent a bunch of Cabelas and Midway catalogs, and a copy of Elmer Keith's autobiography to a business contact in the UK. :D

Given the attitude of UK sports shooting organizations towards self-defense, or relaxing gun laws, or any kind of principled stands...

I'm trying to gather up some outrage or sympathy or something.

It's just not coming. Sorry.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
