[Gllug] microsoft its not our fault honest gov

[George F. Saxby]

Someone said that driving lessons should be stopped because someone got 
killed by a car. That is EXACTLY what our government did over hand guns. !!
	I have carried a gun all my life simply because the world can be & is an 
ugly place it is NOT like little puddling in the marsh UK. 
	I travel a great deal & I resent the fact the UK government has put my life 
at risk by not allowing me to stay sharp with my guns when I am not at home.
	I am a born Englishman and like most of you thought the rest of the world 
was like the England  until I found my self and family threatened. I solved 
simply because I am a long time martial artist, but after that day I went 
with something more convincing than my bare hands as I knew I had been VERY 
lucky. 
	Would I use it yes if I or my family were in danger as has been shown on 4 
as a civilian, occassions in the past.
