Scottish National Party Holyrood leader Nicola Sturgeon, an outsider to the human race, thinks (when she remembers to breath) that

"A strict licensing scheme, covering the sale, purchase and use of airguns is the only effective way of dealing with this problem.”

Clearly she has never read any gun crime statistics, so for the benefit of this particular politician who manifests the same degree of higher brain function as her Acipenseridae relations it is worth pointing out that all the stupid illogical ill thought out gun bans that we have had in the country have not made any impact upon our spiralling gun crime statistics. However those of us that are capable on conceptualising a logical argument know that words ‘gun grabber’ & ‘totally irrational mental cripple’ are completely interchangeable.

However the ginger haired ones are now in a complete anti-gun frenzy, probably in a vainglorious effort to pass the time during the long winter nights. Take for example Helen Winter writing in The Scotsman

Usually air guns cause rather more minor wounds or they are used to terrorise and hurt innocent animals . . . like the one-year-old collie cross bitch who was shot in Dumbarton last week, has lost an eye and may die because of the pellet lodged in her brain, rather like Andrew’s injury. For most of us the obvious thing to do is ban air guns. Make them illegal. After all, who needs them? What legitimate use can they possibly have? All we do know for sure is who uses them . . . those who think firemen are great targets, those who think it’s hysterically funny to cause pain and suffering to defenceless animals and now . . . those who kill children.

Now I seem to recall that aside to frying ants with a magnifying glass, the first sizeable wildlife & vermin that I ever killed was with my old BSA Mercury air rifle & I have never looked back as the photos on this blog, the entries in my game book & during the season, the contents of my game larder bear testament to.
However the ever rational Ms. Winter who clearly suffers from that unfortunately medical condition of almost certainly having more nipples than brain cells, thinks

Air guns are, well, guns. But guns which for some bizarre reason do not require a licence despite the capability to be every bit as lethal as a Colt 45 in foolish hands

In the interests of journalist integrity I feel that numpty Winter deserves the opportunity on seeing first hand the difference between an air pistols & a pistol chambered for .45ACP ammunition … & if she would just go & stand in front of the wall over there I feel sure that one or two of you would be delighted to demonstrate, because the gene poll is better off without nangers like her. If you don’t believe me, here are a couple more of her prejudices

There is not a single, redeeming feature about them which in any way would make any sensible person hesitate to ban them immediately out of respect for little Andrew and to ensure there are no other victims.

Firearms at least have a purpose and that is quite unashamedly to kill.
Banning something that is dangerous but quite unnecessary shouldn’t require study and lessons and deliberation and forming conclusions. It’s a no-brainer.

For those of us that have grown up with firearms of all sorts & are now in the process of ensuring that our nippers grow up with guns in a safe & responsible manner, are sick to bleating Scots like this idiot & the likes of Dr Mick North who are a waste of valuable air as all they ever seem to do is go around whining about the lack of further gun bans … forget any rights we have, the Scots are ‘doing it for the little children’, just like in where was it … Orkney, eh Jock?

It must be something in the water because we also hear that Dundee City Council is to vote on whether there should be a complete ban on airguns in Scotland. (an issue over which they have no mandate) & council leader Jill Shimi last night said she hopes councillors will vote in favour of a complete ban.

Maybe low levels of background radiation has damaged DNA spirals & caused the Scottish to mutate into a bunch of mongs. West Dunbartonshire Council has writing to all of Scotland’s local authorities seeking support for a complete ban on airguns. Yes, the truth is out there & we have realised that you all collectively limp with your brains. What a bunch of inbreeds - if this is the best they can do, give them independence, they deserve it. They can keep the offensive flawed ideas & we can trade with them at the boarder.
