I've always had in interest in guns, I love owning them and shooting them now I live here and I intend to own more, but I think if I hadn't moved to this country I would never have fired a gun, let alone owned one, simply because it's not really a popular pastime in the UK. It's not a case of right or wrong, it's just a difference.
