    Wonder how long it will be before I get the boys in blue turning up. The rabbits hang around on my section and are good cannon fodder.
    It will happen, on one of the properties I shoot on, early this year one of the owners was walking about early one morning with his air rifle popping a few rabbits in view of a road.

    Next minute he had armed defenders pointing semi autos at him, made him drop and spread eagle and body searched him.

    Apparently a female prison officer on her way to work had seen a man with a gun so called 111.

    The general public are so nervous about firearms these days I think this will be our new normal. :-(

    Unfortunately we live in a world where everyone catastrophes, wants to feel like a victim and then feels like they need to enact a form of social justice or otherwise make them feel like they got one over on someone. This is the very basis of call out culture, open letters, words as violence, safe spaces and Facebook likes. The root cause is xenophobia, its pretty much the same as racism, a lack of understanding breeds fear.

    The world is a sad place to be at the moment. If I was a religious man, id be writing an open letter to God asking him to I form noah that a second boat was needed.

    We should start calling the cops everytime we see one with a gun.

    They will eventually arrest and/or shoot each other until we have no police in the streets.
