As a legal gun-owner, I get rather annoyed when the government introduces knee-jerk legislation as a sop to to public outcry following high-profile firearms offences. A perfect example is the banning of handguns after the Dunblane shootings: those who held handguns perfectly legally and safely for legitimate purposes were deprived of them, yet gun crime has increased in the UK since then. Nothing was done to combat the use of illegal guns, which is where the whole problem came from in the first place, yet because the government was seen to be "doing something about guns" the tabloids were happy. The result? Gun crime increased while legal gun owners were left smarting at having their legitimate sporting activities criminalised for no good reason.Originally Posted by LMC
It's obviously quite easy to get hold of illegal firearms. Why doesn't the government concentrate on that problem instead of penalising legal gun-owners, who are not part of the problem in the first place?
actually its about 4 girls growing up in Eire and the different lives they had, how they met etc, its actually fascinating. One of the girls is being bullied by her father, two are sisters who dont get on, and one is the youngest of a poor family who goes to live with her aunt.Originally Posted by Barry Shnikov
Patricia Scanlan. Sorry D, it's chick lit.
I rejected it for train reading because 400 pages is my pain barrier (and weight limit) for pastel-covered fiction suitable for the brain-dead zone between Stevenage and Kings X at stupid o'clock.
I actually think that this one is less "girly" than her ones in the past ie city girls/women/lives.Originally Posted by LMC
