Thread: Clarkson on guns

@Sasquatch,

Fair point about inanimate objects. Yet I don't think Clarkson really means the "hateful" gun he holds is full of hatred, he is just using an odd English idiom for an object which, although very interesting is nevertheless also repulsive (OK, not repulsive to all, but to a sufficiently large number of people to mean it cannot be dismissed as cranky, thus we carry our guns in cases).

I note that British society's strict gun laws don't reflect Brits' gun love - just look at UK gun crime statistics. Many Brits clearly love guns, and the more so when they "can't have them". Well, many clearly can, anyway. Same goes for their strict knife laws.
