I haven't been able to post much (at all) because I'm still computer-free and, therefore, one-click-blogging bereft as well.

However, I took pains to make sure I kept this ludicrous quote alive.

From:
Shooters seek handgun law change (UK)



The government has been urged to relax gun laws which make it illegal for Britain's top pistol shooters to train in England, Scotland and Wales.

...

A Home Office spokesperson said the laws had been voted in by an "overwhelming majority" of MPs.


"The banning of handguns wasn't a matter of eroding personal freedoms, it was a matter of ensuring that what had been shown to be a terrible, if statistically small, risk was removed," she said.


Oh, it hurts.
