Simple- Sunday is gun club day!
Despite the best attempts of metservice, rain radar, satellite maps and the big chunks of grey cloud to put me off, I went out for a shoot anyway. Glad I did, as there was only a faint raice of drizzle, with most of the day spent in sunshine.
The only weather that could possibly keep me away, would have me building an Ark in the back yard- and then not when there was a cowboy shoot on!
3 hours of black powder smoke and returning lead back to the earth, from where it came! The simple pleasures in life- afterwards standing around a roaring pot-belly fire drinking mugs of tea and eating barbequed sausages, with a Labrador slobbering on your gumboots.
Enjoy it before some city-dwelling, eco-sandel wearing wanker bends the ear of our pinko, trying-to be -gay govamint and gets it all banned. This is what this steel shot bullshit is all about. The stuff is an outrage, it cripples rather than kills. Will complaining about it get a return to lead?- no, they will try to shut down gamebird shooting. Don't beleive that?- well, I never thought the pom upper crust would loose their fox hunting.
This is how they are screwing us (and in a far wider arena than shooting sports)- banning things outright is bad in the polls. You just quiety slide in a heap of compliances and regulations that make a task not worth doing. I know the owner of a plumbing company that decided not to tender for a large health project- too much trouble to jump through all the hoops! Childcare is another spot to find a tangle of red duct tape. I can never get my head around how you need a friggin' diploma to work in a day-care, when any drug-addled skank is deemed to be the 'best carer' for her numerous unrelated offspring.
Hardly a day goes by where I don't here of some enterprise that can't get off the ground because of compliance costs, such as a local women who wants to make a few bucks selling sandwiches (but it would cost thousands to get her kitchen to the required standard)
Death to Socialism!
