    I think the fact he was a student has more to do with his beliefs than his country of origin.

    That's true Beetroot and I did in a fair bit of stalking in the UK when I lived there as well as shooting at Bisley, but...
    By and large it seems the English have a fear of firearms and within those in authority it seems like it is pathological.

    I thint they are afraid of the peasants.

    I recall my first gun range visit in the late 1970s. Just remember it was a calm place, lots of blokes there and they were all concentrating a lot. And they had a tuck shop where they sold Mars bars and .22LR. (-: The gun nut image just could not stick to that, even with superglue.
