Dear Ian,
Altought I agree with your strong support for any gun control legislation, I
have jumped on my chair when I read your insulting comment about Greeks and
other mediterreneans countries. Coming from one of these supposed "wildlife
killers" countries, I just want to remember you that these ugly facts are
due to an infinitesimal part of the population and is far from being the
national sport. I am sure that in the UK, and everywhere in the world, there
are also people that kill animals or people just for fun or go in another
countries to bring back hunting trophies. I do not agree with them but find
your message very insulting to the people who do not kill for pleasure.
