He definitely won't find The Fox.

I suppose he could chance upon The Fox Hotel on the Penn Road roundabout. (Unless they've bulldozed that as well!)

Back to the topic of guns in the US of A...

Excellent, powerful video bute

It makes me cringe when Americans talk about guns, I genuinely cannot control my anger and often get into it with them.

Then of course they harp on about it being one of their rights, something drawn up over 200 years ago.

It is so instilled in the culture though, to hunt and kill, teaching 8 year olds how to use a gun and so on.

They will eventually wake up, but it will be quite some years yet.

Bute, you do realize that they were all fake guns in that shop which incidentally was illigal to open in the first place and an actor played the part of the owner. Didn't watch the whole video of yours as it's been on the news over here.

That was the whole point of the set up!

Still a powerful message Wolfie, call it a wake up message.

saw a stat a while ago that the usa armed forces have the second greatest non-nuclear firepower in the world


first is usa's own citizens

Not sure I believe that to be honest and I do think the gun owner thing is overplayed.

I don't know many who do actually own a gun.

But its the mentality that guns are normal that is daft.

It make no difference what the message was or is. Americans will always be able to buy guns to protect themselves. The problem is, there's no accounting for individual emotions. With the increase if terrorist attacks around the world, I'll be surprised if there aren't more guns made available.

Unfortunately we live in a violent world these days.

Only isolated incidents here get publicised, yet the vast majority of gun crime is drug related. Usuallly black on black if we're all honest and that doesn't get to hit the news.

The thing is Wolfie, that average Joe shouldn't be anywhere near a gun and indeed does not need one.

That mentality is just feckin stupid, believing it is protection when quite clearly it isn't.
