I'll tell you exactly what Mellor's (spit) attitude will be. He will see it as being perfectly acceptable to shoot anyone you want, on sight at the slightest provocation, yet he will balk at the very idea of anyone being allowed to keep anything what so ever for defence, regardless of how lethal (or not) it may be. He's a total hypocrite and I sincerely hope he gets his House turned over in the near future, at least then he'll be able to speak from personal experience. He's a total tosser. Jonathan Laws -- Shame Tony didn't use a handgun really, wonder what Mellor would say then. Steve.

From: "Jeff Wood", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anthony quoted: "Somebody defined rightists as those who want to be ruled by daddy - who will tell them what is what, and punish them when they're naughty - while leftists want to be ruled by mummy - who will feed them their medicine, wipe their bottoms, and tuck them up in bed at night." Not bad at all I think. I suppose the point is that a real adult becomes their own mother and father both as far as possible. A good start to the process is teaching one's children to shoot: the safe handling of firearms is one of the few adult responsibilities with which a youngster can be entrusted. Perhaps this was one of the reasons the antis got stuck into Kate Hoey. No 10 has joined in, and I predict she gets the hemlock to drink soon after the next election. While I'm here, may I thank those who helped me out on the King's African Rifles, both on-list and privately. You cleared up some obscure points. Am I right in my belief that to have fought in France in WW1, the ancestor must have transferred out to another regiment?

From: "Richard Loweth", [EMAIL PROTECTED] The fact remains, and we are still not doing enough to continually point it out day after day, that if Tony Martin had been allowed legally to possess in his home non-lethal weapons of defence such as an electric baton or a CS spray then one young man might not be dead and one old man not in prison. Perhaps those who read "The People" could write to Mellor and ask him if he agrees?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] << A cohesive society can accommodate right left and centre, as long as the common concern is liberty. >> suggests Jeff Wood. I think the word "liberty" is the key one, indeed it is difficult to see how any gun-rights-enthusiast could describe himself as being especially left or right-wing, since both options entail a high degree of prescription. And as soon as you accept such a thing, you have inevitably to accept the possibility of severe curtailments of your personal liberty, including the liberty - surely a natural and inalienable one - to own whatever weapons you consider necessary or desirable. Somebody defined rightists as those who want to be ruled by daddy - who will tell them what is what, and punish them when they're naughty - while leftists want to be ruled by mummy - who will feed them their medicine, wipe their bottoms, and tuck them up in bed at night. I think this sums it up. Most of our fellow citizens are wholly wedded to mummy or daddy, and might (if they read The People) send a Christmas card to poor old Tony Martin, but would at the same time be terrified at the prospect of actually looking after themselves - let alone using a gun to defend themselves against violent intruders. BTW re. Jeff's mention of fantasists, some years ago I belonged to an organisation which included a bloke from Kent who for some bizarre reason had adopted an Australian persona and swaggered about in one of those stockmen's coats. He was a nice bloke actually, but we used to wonder who he thought he was kidding; and when he called upon a friend of mine, he apparently embarked upon such a ludicrously improbable account of serving with Aussie Special Forces in Vietnam (being captured and tortured by the VC, etc) that my friend and his wife had to make occasional excuses to leave the room in order to fall about with laughter in the kitchen!
