I find this interesting because I come from a rural area in Northern England where shotgun ownership is very common. Looks like we've come so far that it can't even be implied that a gun could be used to protect yourself or your property.

I'll bet the person who complained was some ponce from the South, London for a guess. Southerners!!

"irresponsible" because it "condoned the use of a shotgun to protect private property".

I clicked when I saw that numbskull quote.

Unbelievable. Not that I'd wish it on anyone, but I'd like to see this guy's recation after someone breaks into his house. When it's his family's life that he's waiting for the police to protect, gun control might not seem like such a good idea.

Yeah, well, it is the same type of suicidal thinking that got us to believe that sex was so sacred it should not be impeded by the AIDS virus. However those people are explicitly denying now the role of man as a social guinea pig, deprived of responsibility to protect life and property.

Sorry, I meant:

However those people are explicitly IMPOSING now the role of man as a social guinea pig, deprived of responsibility to protect life and property, as just a lab rat for the government to promote its "perfect" "peaceful" society.

Dr. Mengele would have not been happier indeed.

I always thought it was odd that even during the heyday of communism in Russia, shotgun ownership was legal. Are the lib gungrabbers trying to outdo them?

The advertisement was for a security system. It seems to be a clever way of saying that you can't rely on the good old standby system, the farmer operated shotgun. It seems, even a cartoon drawing of a shotgun is alarming to the anti-gunners in merry olde England.

While shopping for a hat in a sporting goods shop in Bangor, Co Down, I asked about the plethora of air guns for sale.
That's how I learned about gun laws in N.I.
Kinda' sad, the wistful look in the gentleman's eyes when I told him what it was like here in Arizona.....Concealed Carry permits, pistol clubs, social range contests, a Christmas present from my Dad (Glock!), but I wish I hadn't been so effusive describing my favorite fun rifle, a lever action Winchester 30-30. I thought the guy was gonna' cry.
The bright side is I gave him my family address and phone, and I know it's a long shot, but I told him that if he or friends ever made it to Arizona I'd be glad to share several (several several) boxes of ammo with his choice of family guns.....he and my Grampa would probably spend a full day just with the Winchesters!
We can dream......but wouldn't that be a hoot?

A member of the public who complained said it was "irresponsible" because it "condoned the use of a shotgun to protect private property".

Hark, was that the sound of a sheep bleating in the distance?

Let me extent that invitation to shoot from all the Freepers. If anyone from England wishes to shoot and you're in Dallas just Freepmail me. I'm sure that you can get the same invitation from anyone here in the U.S. We had some people from England who came in during a match and the guy was smiling all day. There was also a group from Japan that was able to shoot. Those people are dangerous. They get too excited.
