Haha that video is so full of holes it's a joke. The stance it takes is so different from the facts on the ground. It looks at the issue from the same way Americans look at the gun issue, the 'god given right to own a gun' stance. Everyone in the video is a so called sportsman. None of them wanted guns to defend themselves or their property, the excuse American pro-gun heads always give. The march it showed footage of at the start was in protest of the possibility of legislation being brought in to deal with traditional hunting with hounds, not out and out 'gun laws'. I grew up in the countryside surrounded by hunts with hounds, and I don't have a problem with it in general. The fact is though that it is an inefficient and cruel form of pest control. And it's just an excuse for chavvy farm workers to wear a suit, blow a horn and pretend they're rich landowners for an afternoon. I'm not sure when that video was made but there have been slightly more than 'two tragic shootings' in Britain. Also the video jumps between British and Australian people as though they're talking about the same thing. I actually laughed out loud when a man claimed that a clampdown on unlicensed handguns was akin to the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany. Yeah cos their religious heritage could be used to kill people if it got into the wrong hands... The form needlessly referenced in the blurb isn't mentioned in the film... but you can see it here: http://www.sussex.police.uk/online_forms/downloads/frm101.pdf |
