A review of how gun control has "worked" in the UK

[stokesrj]

Yes, it is truly a shame, that the US is headed the way we are headed. Last evening I was in a check out line at a local food store, and was wearing as I often do, a shirt promoting the shooting sports. This one was a collared Under Armor shirt that had the Camp Perry logo of the NRA, CMP and Ohio National Guard emblems displayed. The lady at checkout asked me, "what is Camp Perry" I explained it is where the national high power rife matches are held. She grimaced and said I hate guns. To which I replied it is an honorable match in which the top riflemen in the US compete to see who is the best and to promote progress in the art of shooting a rifle well. She said, "I hope your wife is safe". I found this odd since my wife was standing by my side. My wife simply commented, "yes, I'm very safe, are you"? She seemed flustered and angered by my wife's response. Now you must understand I Live on Florida's Gulf Coast and only 8% of the residents are Florida natives, most are from Detroit, Chicago, and a few from NY and NJ. I'm quite certain she was from the north east coast judging by her accent. But it just serves to show how the sentiment is changing in our once great nation.
We should be all about educating and promoting the good that guns do in our society, otherwise the ignorant will rule.
