Sometimes reading posts on here I wonder if English is the contributors first language.

You're, er, reading too much into all this.

Wasn't Ariel a character in Shakespeare's The Tempest? Ariel had the power to create a storm at sea and cause a shipwreck, a very suspicious ariel if you ask me.

No, some gave up because pistol shooting was their thing and only their thing...


Well they did not give up shooting then did they?? Their sport / hobby of pistol shooting was taken from them by the government - which is altogether different is it not?

I seem to recall a few stories on here and elsewhere of folks who gave it all up for the "guilt" reason.



Ordnance: Guilt about what. ?

REALLY?

A few were seemingly afflicted by mass guilt over those dead kids and the teacher, something they were NOT responsible for but they felt as gun owners it was their fault for some silly reason. Some could not bear to touch their guns again! - damn silly, yes?

Maybe a bit like all the Associations at the time who seemingly hid away at the time instead of defending the sport and laying blame RIGHT where it belonged I suppose? Then again the mdia had us all tabbed as "guilty by association" and we know how corrupt and two faced they are! Anyway you know the rest.

OK thats like giving up driving because a car was used to kill people.

Exactly ordnance - but that is exactly what some fools did.
