Very true if it was happening here. Then I'd be alarmed too. However it is going on in a foreign sovereign nation and is no concern of mine except when I shoot in the UK.

Since it ain't happening here I have more pressing things to be alarmed about.

Suppose the guy broke his forend when he was dissembling his gun to take it on an airplane? Would that have been the airlines fault?

I am not defending UK gun laws - they are stupid. Read the recent "Shooting Times" articles on how miserably the police perform in doing their licensing duties. The whole system is broken.

But I'll reserve my indignation for events over here, not there.

Besides the guy sounds like a twit.
