So when I asked the question about the American way of life and the attitude to guns two things appear to come to the fore. Self protection against crime against the person and putting food on the table.
I can handle the protection bit,but the hunting hmmm.
Most people in the UK have no experience with guns much less using them for self defence.A farmer in the UK has just got out of jail got a 5 year stretch for shooting 2 guys who broke into his house.killed one and injured the other did not get parole because he would not admit to doing wrong and said would do it again if the same thing happened.Thats the attitude to guns by the authorities here.Crazy or what?
