Being the eternal optomist and "glass half full" sort of bloke, helps put pay to the antis arugument that "guns should be held at a club" bollox....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Email them - OED definition of a "weapon" and the legal definition of a shotgun. This is a plain inaccuracy. Would post the link for that but I'm snatching a breather at work so don't have time!

Well, In defence of the BBC (and this is the only time I will) I think we all know what they will be used for.
Just seen the North West today article and they called them "Weapons"
