The one point...
...i would like to add is one that i think is one that is often not overlooked as such but not realised.

Before i go on i would like to say i agree with all the points being made :P As i said before its such a hard argument!

When i used to shoot i used to help out at my rifle range. I was fairly young so all i could do was just help clean the place and that. The thing that i always found interesting was that on the pistol only nights most of the people were disabled. This was simply because it was one of the few sports available to heavily movement restricted people that they could compete with everybody else on an equal level.

It wasnt just the competition either. It was a social thing that was more important. They got to get out of the house a few nights a week and spend a few hours with people, having a chat, cups of tea and shooting the odd card or two. I basically spent my evenings helping people in and out of wheelchairs :P

You should have seen their faces when they got told the club was being shut down and their sport taken away. It broke my heart.

EDIT due to shocking spelling..again
