GUNZ !!! BANG!

[Alastair|UK]

What do you guys think of guns? I don't have a problem with them. Many people have informed me that they aren't allowed in the United Kingdom; however, that is not the case. I have a provisional license, meaning I can't buy one, but I can be given one, and I do have one. My dad has six. The rifle club we go to has eighteen members, each with at least three guns and one member has more than thirty! He's also a gunsmith.

Funny story about that! Every year you need to renew your license, and one year he was supposedly given the wrong forms, so a police officer comes a'knockin' and says, "'Ello, mate! I'm sorry to inform you but you will have to turn your guns into a gunsmith or you will be fined or sent to jail or some similar thing." And so the fellow replies, "They appear to have neglected to inform you that I am a gunsmith, ol' chap, so all that I will have to do here is pass my guns from my left hand to my right and put it back in my safe." And they both lol'd.

So, back to the topic, what do you think about guns? Do you own any?
