About 18 years ago the terrible massacre of children by gun man Thomas Hamilton took place . It was the most shocking event in this country's recent times . Immediately following this event our Parliament banned the ownership of all hand guns . This meant that people who belonged to legitimate gun clubs with licenced fire arms could no longer shot at ranges . This at the time seemed stupid as criminals did not hold licences for their guns , obviously and it seemed as though this idea of banning all ownership of hand guns was merely a pointless " knee jerk " reaction .
Today Nigel Farage is suggesting reversing this law , and I guess there would be little danger caused by doing so , but I still cant bring myself to say he's right or say I support such a reversal . Something has or must have changed over this long period of time since the original shootings .Maybe I mistrust the general man in the street more , perhaps there is more mental instability about toady , maybe its because ive become a father ? I don't know .Something has changed .
I think basically when it comes to guns you must stick to one idea .You cant go changing directions . You are either for or against . In America the cat is already out of the bag and there is no going back . To try and change the direction of ownership will not work anymore than reversing the banning of handguns here will work . Mixed messages create confusion and there is nothing MORE dangerous than a confused person . They panic . Consistency is the best tool . It matters not which way though as long as it keeps the status quo of the country .

A murky day
Today is strange day . Its soon going to come on wet again soon . Its hard to explain how wet and muddy it is in Dent at the moment . I explained this to a friend by saying " Its like a pile of mud with torrential rain pissing down on it " This sounds a bit extreme but its an accurate description . It then gets worse as I hear a front of snow is moving in , well briefly . That will put the media and everyone into a spin ...
Im in the mood to go to the cinema but I cant as my ears and sinuses aren't good at the moment and the noise makes my head spin . Im also tired but in that annoying way that makes you want to get out and do something . I think this is caused by the growing daylight ( however little ) or more likely the brighter days suggesting I should be taking advantage of them . I shall probably go to sleep on the sofa instead though as its one of those dull , wet winter afternoons.
I still have not got a new laptop and I am making it my goal to get this sorted today . I thought not having access to one at night after work would lead to me being more sociable , but it hasn't . I just watch more pointless T.V , at least when your online your doing something constructive . Funny how I see this as now constructive and not time wasting as when we all first discovered the Internet . Its been a while since ive had a general ramble on here . I used to do it a lot . When others ramble its quite pleasant just listening and you can end up saying more of interest in a ramble than you first realise .
I feel im missing out on something recently , but I dont know what it it is . Nothing much sinks in . I feel like im skimming along the surface of something . My weekends feel just the same as my weekdays . That sounds dire but ive longed for that feeling of mundanes for so long . Of course it needs to be punctuated with something . Im rambling...
