The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

The man is a complete tool, I've tried to have a sensible discussion with him on Facebook and as soon as you post an opinion he doesn't agree with he bans you from the page, I cant waste any more time on him and I won't buy any magazines he writes for (Rifle Shooter being one)
he just winds me up, (in fact its winding me up typing this) .

aaarggh deep breaths and relax

A bit rich coming from someone who kills things for fun!

Oh Gawd I am going to defend Mike now....ruining my own thread.

I think it would be fair to say that indeed that the vast majority of Americans who know their gun rights are enshrined in law are not extremeists it is also fair to say there are a minority who take that concept to the extreme within the US. Splitting hairs really but worth pointing out.

Anyway back to Mike's Wisdom!

Excellent timing as Mike has some views on freedom of speech and no-platforming, that he seems to only selectively apply:

I won't buy any magazines he writes for (Rifle Shooter being one)
More importantly, I hope you wrote to the magazine explaining to them why you stop buying their publication.

Wooooooooo! Not paranoid at all, a perfectly sound minded defender of sports shooting.

Who does he currently write for?

How pi$$ed do you reckon the publicity whore that Yardley is, was when he found out that the Beeb were running an article on shooting and he wasn't asked for comment if showed his face?

I reckon he was spitting asparagus!

Good point! I forgot that only Mike Yardley can represent British Sports shooting in the mind of Mike Yardley!

His ego must of been severely dented! Whats the betting he has been emailing the programs editor asking for a follow up interview...

OK this is going to take a few posts but the debate between Mike and the person who posted the Hitler video is pure Comedy Gold!
