I seem have failed miserably to convey that the decision a few people made to refrain from fighting a handgun ban here in Scotland after Dunblane was less a vote against handguns and more a vote of solidarity with those bereaved by the massacre and all those negatively affected by it and that the resulting handgun ban and the post Hungerford ban on semi automatic centre fire rifles have so far probably been responsible for the absence of any further attacks on schools

This off topic high jacking of the original lead shot uk thread has developed into personal attacks rather than reasoned debate and cost far too much time . Its 03.00 am and Ive work in a few hours so for me Im out

No intention of ruffling feathers and this was no trolling exercise to irritate just sharing a perspective
