In the UK, you can’t shoot hares, rabbits or other game animals on Sundays or Christmas Day. And I’d give up my Toyota Tacoma to own a pair of Purdey shotguns — after which I’d sell one of the guns and buy a better truck. There. I’ve done the UK gun bit. ‘Cause this story is about hunting with dogs . . .
The Hunting Act 2004 banned wild animal hunting with dogs in England and Wales.(The British PM promised a “free vote” on repeal — and then changed her mind.) But hunting dogs remain, mostly occupying their time with howling, eating, reproduction and relatively bloodless “drag hunts.”
As we all know, tree huggers are known cat hoarders. And so the Mirror reports that the twain met: More than 20 cats missing after “out of control” hunting dogs rampage through animal sanctuary. . .
“Out of control” fox hounds ran wild at a cat sanctuary for an hour-and-a-half after rushing onto their land during a hunt, horrified staff have claimed.
More than 20 cats are still unaccounted for at Celia Hammond Animal Trust’s Greenacres branch near Hastings after staff claimed it was swarmed by “large” fox hounds yesterday afternoon.
Staff say they were forced to fight off the fox hounds with broomsticks as they tried to protect the 130 cats and one goat that live on the sanctuary set over woodlands and fields in East Sussex.
Footage recorded at the scene shows a large hound bound across woodland as it is chased off by one of the four members of staff on site at the time.
“Last night the sanctuary recorded 60 cats as missing but near 40 have returned, although many have been left traumatised by their experience, staff say.
Celia Hammond, [former model and] founder of the sanctuary claimed the hounds had split into two groups, one chasing a deer and the other a fox.
In his 1993 book HypnoHealth, RF profiled Ms. Hammond in a chapter entitled “Obsession.” I wonder if he can hypnotize traumatized cats. OK, back to shooting things with bullets . . .
Portraying groups of American citizens as terrorists who must be exterminated is problematic to say the least. Many of you are quick to criticize ANTFA for riots but remain silent on rise of armed white supremacist groups. Not surprising since many of you probably barely graduated high school.
Your last sentence is quite fascist, classist, and potentially, racist. Somewhat ironic, no?
Yet you have no problem with these “tolerant peaceful protestors” beating innocent people at random, firebombing building and vehicles, fighting the police, committing rioting, looting and arson.
These “tolerant peaceful protestors” are the true racist hatemongers.
The narrative was determined on election night when the legacy media’s candidate lost. Trump will have a scandal-plagued, divisive presidency — at least, they’ll make sure it looks that way.
Just like they made sure Obama’s tenure was remarkably free of scandal: the public can’t be outraged by what it doesn’t know, so they did their best to make sure nobody knew.
Nothing wrong. Downloaded it, use it on Facebook.
Because .45 auto is where it’s at. Lol…. I see the Glock fans are not satisfied with their stock Glocks, and here I thot they were perfection. Every time I see someone customizing a Glock I laugh because they’re doing just what they put down the owners of 1911s for.
Please tell Mike the (Masshole) Gun Guy that his state’s former colony of Maine, proudly divorced since 1820, has had the lowest per-capita assault rate in the nation from 2005-2014 (DOJ Uniform Crime Statistics Tables). The reason? Every single house not located in a city (only have two of those, total combined population of 100,000 out of 1.4 million) has a hunting rifle, a shotgun, a 22 rifle, and about half have handguns. And, our homicide rate is almost 50% lower than M(ass)achussetts. As old Bob Heinlein once remarked, ” an armed society is a polite society.”

I went to the site to see if I could figure out what that was, but it didn’t say, and I’m a bit annoyed by that.
“not modified versions of the Italian group’s existing shotguns.”
“a smaller grip, shorter length of pull and adjusted cast and pitch.”
Sounds to me like the only thing different is the stock. Who are they trying to kid?
Anyway, if you’re female (or a small guy), a women’s shotgun that doesn’t fit you is no better than a men’s shotgun that doesn’t fit you. True joy in shotgunning is a fruitless endeavor unless you get the gun properly fitted to your body.
Those gals look like they would be fun hunting companions, though.
I’d like her to name one mass shooter who was the epitome of an “Alpha Male.” Alphas just don’t do that shit. All mass shooters are outsiders, loners, sociopaths and psychos.
Most are sunken-chested, slump-shouldered soyboys who grew up spoiled and never heard the word “no.”
We need more masculinity to give those blubbering whiners some perspective; to show them how tough life can really get.
The squirrels of America just took notice.
Some of the guys I shoot USPSA and IDPA with have guns from Atlas, and I’ve shot some of their Open guns and ESP guns. They’re insanely good, but a $6000 Atlas isn’t four times better than my $1500 CZ Shadow: it’s not going to get me back on target in 25% of the time, or reduce my groups by 75%. They’re well into the long tail of quality and workmanship (which probably starts around $1000 for a pistol), where every smidgen of improvement costs twice as much as the prior one.
But if Atlas ever comes up with a good lefty-friendly mag release for their 2011 frame, I’ll probably buy one…or two.
The Columbia, SC ban is on the use within city limits, not on possession. It is already illegal to discharge any firearm within city limits, so it’s really irrelevant grandstanding.
