Yeah I have to agree with that. Before the kids started coming we travelled all over the UK in the time we were there as my wife is just nuts for the history and the buildings of the whole country. I have to admit I was well impressed myself with a lot of it. Every days a school day brother.

It certainly is, one of the reason I stopped travelling, other than being travelled out, was that there is equal wonders on my own doorstep without the grief of airports.

There certainly is, some of the wonders and scenery here just in Michigan are both breathtaking and jaw dropping. A hell of a lot of America is equally beautiful, just seeing different species of it's wildlife for the first time is still a huge buzz for me.

I'd be over there in a heartbeat - if there was a way.

Yes there is if you would only get involved - Firearms UK.

Best way to get involved is to check out the facebook page or contact them directly.

There is no discrimination there, they support ALL shooting and everyone liberty and rights regardless of class, snobbery, stupidity or politics.

By "You" I refer to every firearms owner and user, get involved, get actively involved, use your vote and your buying power, send the only messages they understand, a threat to their own position or loss of profit, or REMAIN the victim!

Your choice, time to grow a pair!

Social media had a very large hand in preventing military action in Syria. Get on Twitter and/or Facebook. Make your voice heard.

Absolutely agree 100%. It needs repeating and repeating at every opportunity. Twitter is excellent as there are many MP's on there to whom you can make your views very clear, plus a great dal of shooting supporters who can also be reminded that failure to support all of us or sacrifice someone else just does not, and never will work. This attack by Labour and SNP are excellent examples!

Well, I've started doing what little I can to stand up for shooting in the way I know best. "Firearms licensing needs a proper review, not kneejerk reactions to Labour strawmen" http://thebackbencher.co.uk/firearms-li ... -strawmen/

Nice article :)
