But it *is* nevertheless shocking, as you put it. I really don't care about imitation guns, I had my share of them when I was a younger kid.

Oh yeah, and Scotland is now officially the violent crime capital of the developed world (according to a UN report)"<br /> <br /> Thank you for all of your feedback. I really had my hands full with all of the comments that were posted. Are you serious? I didn't know it TRIPLED! But I did know that in the United Kingdom, guns were not allowed or something. If you wish you can contact my by email (kinney.aaron@gmail.com). Thanks again. Merry belated Christmas, and a happy New Year! <br /> <br /> Aaron “I have to agree with you on gun rights - here in the UK our government (acting on a petition signed by 705,000 people, or about 1.2% of the population) banned guns about a decade ago and since then gun crime has TRIPLED.
