I always enjoy reading about British shooting in various British shooting and field sport mags. It has struck me that level of discourse is somewhat higher on your side than on ours. I recall that members of the commission looking into gun laws following the last shooting were invited to a range and they came away with new insight - it the first time some of them had ever held a firearm.
The sad thing is Gnomon that trying to get people energised to feedback their feelings and passion for shooting can sometimes be very challengeing. In the most recent round of submissions to the ongoing Home Office Commission on firearms, something like 930 people wrote to stress their point of view - and this from a BASC membership of 125,000+ with countless tens of thousands more clay shooting/non-members. I spent ages on my letter and why further controls just are not needed, but personally, would have hoped it would have been amongst thousands of submissions.
