1915 DWM and British Laws

Doubs · 08-03-2002, 01:00 PM

Tacfoley, you need not apologize for anything you've said about the deplorable manner in which the good people of England and the rest of Great Bratain were treated. For three years I was a member of the Viking Pistol Club of Wickham Market, Suffolk. A finer group of people couldn't be imagined and when I learned of the draconian laws passed after the Hungerford shootings, I felt real anguish for my friends who had to give up their guns. One man - a very good friend - had to give up his 1911A1 that he'd carried through the war from England to N. Africa and Italy. He deserved better and had served his country far more honorably than those who took his pistol. As usual, the politicians have punished the wrong people for the wrong reasons. I would be extremely bitter if I were in your shoes.
