I bet he has a photograph of Back Stabber Coe on his bedside table.

Just my 2p.
He has not mentioned csr - he has referred to military rifles and camo clothing.
He is narrow minded and sectarian. But our sport has quite a few who are just as narrow minded and sectarian.
True, Unfortunately. As said above we don't need a strong anti-gun lobby with shooters like him receiving media attention...

I've tried to engage with him on Facebook and posted a series of photographs of Ruger 10/22's from the 'acceptable' beech stock, telescopic sighted, 10rd flush magazine in graduated stages up to one in a 'hell spawn' G36/Archangel stock and asked him at which point it became unacceptable to him. Unsurprisingly he failed to answer.

I had a similar experience engaging him on Twitter, asking why the 10/22 was acceptable and the M&P15-22 not so.
Eventually he patronisingly told me the political reality "has moved on". At that point one of his supporters jumped in asking how could I justify a H&K MP5 for sporting use (wtf?). Everything went quiet when I pointed out that the H&K is already proscribed for civilian use in the UK.

So do I. I think he should write about and test hats No wait! He'd probably try and ban the wearing of Military Type Hats such as berets, bush hats, forage caps, helmets....

So our cheap, good quality hats for winter would not be safe? Don't tell our resident Russian equipment enthusiast he'll have it in for Mike.
How about the slogan Take a hike Mike? Will that send the message?

No. He couldn't care less about you, or any of us.

I bet he cares about the lost revenue though? His wallet seems to be his weak spot from his rants, still salty from his lost gigs. It's his own fault, never bite the hand that feeds.

He obviously thinks certain guns are bad, not people. What a tool!

That's an offence to tools, tools have a use. He doesn't even have that.
