    That better hadnt be referred to me
    As I said IMO... this is a Public Forum FFS and Im entitled to it
    That is my opinion and I have my reasons for that opinion

    Why on earth would be it be 'referred' to you?:confused:

    I was thinking of Count Arthur Strong.:D

    I'm amazed that someone who wears quasi-military clothes , shoots rabbits and uses ferrets to kill rabbits is regarded as normal by many DS posters.

    It's weird behaviour, and I'm glad he don't live next to me.

    Remember Michael Ryan ? he liked flak jackets and guns.

    It doesn't mean that all people who has flak jackets and has guns is like Michael Ryan.

    I don't get fishing. I just don't understand why anyone would sit by a river all day hoping to catch a fish and after all that effort put it back. It doesn't make sense to me but I don't dismiss them all as loons. People have different interests. That's what makes life interesting.

    it'll be a pretty boring world if everyone on the planet was like me, no matter how interesting I am. :D

    I wonder how many posters would be comfortable with a neighbour with a firearm. Would make an interesting boundary dispute though

    I'd be fine with it. I've also been the neighbour with a firearm and I didn't get shunned. Real people aren't like DSers.:D

    When did legally owned firearms become a huge problem, worthy of banning, in the UK?
    More people drown in swimming pools each year.

    Must say, back on planet Earth (rather than planet knee-jerk prejudice), the only response I've ever had, after taking a newbie shooting for the first time, is an increasing interest in how to become better at it.

    Where does it say he uses ferrets to kill rabbits or any other animal?

    Where does it say he shoots rabbits?


    That's right, only in the OPs imagination.

    Don't forget all those dangerous dogs running around off their leads just waiting to rip people's throats out.

    Why on earth would someone be a lowlife for hunting rabbits!? You do realise they have to be controlled don't you? Presumably all meat eaters are lowlives then.

    Just about every gamekeeper I worked with in the past had both a temper and a firearms license. None of them went on the rampage with their guns though.
    Getting pleasure from harm and killing is depraved.

    It's not pleasure it's usually a job if they're out catching rabbits.

    The pleasure probably comes from the rabbit stew afterwards.

    A person would be no more safer from a nut of neighbor intent on doing you harm with a knife over a gun.
