I have had access to a firearm since I was kid (all above board), which was used initially by my Grandad to pot rabbits, kill vermin etc.
The result being, that I am unpopular at the stalls on the Town Moor

What I will say, is that the American right to bear arms does need looking at.
Why a little kid (or anyone not a serving member in the armed forces), is using a gun of that power - it is genuinely beyond me.
