Whether we agree with something or not we should still respect the opinions and arguments of other people, it's what this forum is for.As for shooting I can't pretend that I'm a fan but if people and businesses are conducting themselves in a legal manner then no one can complain. There's a whole lot of things I don't like such as rap music, X Factor or the Kyle fella but other folks seem to like them well enough. It seems that the shooting industry itself may become the best organ for forcing change, if enough people withdraw their support and finance from the guilty few perhaps they can become the pariahs that their actions deserve.James.</blockquote>
