Give a segment of the population a potentially lethal weapon, and there's always going to be problems. That's part of the huge non-appeal for firearms for many people - they are an almost intrinsic part of the worst that goes on in the world, ie murder and war (let alone people taking pot shots at endangered wildlife).  But guns are here to stay, fortunately or unfortunately. I don't think that those who shoot Woodpigeons, rabbits etc for pest control/protein supplement have to stick up for the shooting industry. They're different things. But of course they are related ...Anyway ...</blockquote>
