: You lead an interesting life, Lark.Interesting wouldnt have been my word, the left in Norn Iron walk the walk where as Barry talks the talk, if you know what I mean, I dont know if the word has really filtered through the media but the latest IRA splinter anti-agreement group split with Provisional Sinn Fein because it was too reformist and wasnt commited to a 32 country socialist republic (read bolshevik regime there, some things havent filtered through to a few other folk too).
: The first time I fired a handgun I was shaking like a leaf. The things are just so damned dangerous! What was even scarier, though, was how I stopped worrying and learned to love it. BLAM BLAM BLAM! I shot a 44 magnum like Dirty Harry and a Glock 9 mm. like some bad-ass gangsta, and that power trip went straight from my hands to my pecker! I think that's why all the pro-gun guys are so fanatical about it. Guns=power=sex. Sad, ain't it? I don't know what kind of gun you saw the other day, but I'm guessing it was an automatic weapon. RAT-A-TAT-TAT! Now that's some powerful mojo!
I can understand what you mean I've fired a handgun before and at the time I'll admit it was a childish kick, I've got a selection of BB guns from when I was younger too, guess I was a gun junkie for a while too.
Seeing this guy I know with an illegal weapon brought in home to me though that the harder it is to acquire these things is maybe all the better, I mean decent people who insist on owning weapons have nothing to fear from regulation.
: By the way, Lurgan Norn Iron is where my wife's second cousin Father John lives. It was in the news a little while ago because Father John's church was blown up. Ring a bell?
I've not heard of any churches being blown up, there was a whole bunch burned not so long ago, it's the British loyalists burn churches mainly, the republicans burn orange halls or meeting halls.
It's strange you know I've got into anti-clerical moods at times when I'd like to see all these things burned or blown up at all but when it happens in that fashion I think it's terrible.
None.
