Yep. Typical media piece overlooking the important issues.

We could've had some fun with this. I'm sure there was no real danger of Grapeshot being deleted. ;)

Really, I thought it was pretty good. Hey, there are now *rational* academics studying the topic. 20 years ago that would have been a pipe dream.

Too bad the article doesn't have a comments section. I would really love to hear what the average Brit has to say. I suspect it may be more favorable to firearms than the BBC could stand.

I especially related to the last paragraph"

"There are many pro-gun Americas," she says, adding: "Once you can exercise a right, it becomes a lot more meaningful to you."

Especially exercising the II & IV Amendments.

I was really surprised that Texas was anti open carry so I found this link to a map with all the states pro and against as of 8/22/14
