Entire article wrote:Country Life magazines including Shooting Times and The Field are facing calls to be relegated to the top shelf, a spot traditionally reserved for porn magazines, by Britain’s largest animal rights charity.
In their ‘Gunning for Children: How the gun lobby recruits young blood’ report, Animal Aid claim that titles depicting country sports amount to ‘shooting porn’ which could have a ‘corrosive’ effect on children who glimpsed it.
Such titles, the group claims, have depicted young children standing over dead game in a manner which ‘glorifies’ hunting.
Animal Aid director Andrew Tyler said: “Children who kill animals for sport in urban areas are considered dysfunctional and a social menace. Yet Britain has a gun lobby, composed of well-connected groups, that devotes considerable resources towards encouraging children to take up guns at a young age.
"Their actions are damaging not just to wildlife but also to the emotional development of young people."
David Taylor of the Countryside Alliance demurred however: “Shooting is a perfectly legitimate interest and hobby. You can't just ban something because you don't like it. Lots of people don't like cars but they don't ban magazines about motor sports."

I guess they don't believe in the Bible, because God plainly gave control of all the animals on the earth to Humans. And why would He tell Peter to "kill and eat"? The more knowledge there is to be gained, the dumber some people seem to get.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those European countries start relegating the Bible to the top shelf also.

Genesis 9:1-3 wrote: And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the air, on all that moves on the earth, and on all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. Genesis 9:1-3 (American King James Version)
On a side note, years ago we had gotten together at a park with several other home school families. There was one teenage son of some friends skating around the path and I spotted tall block letters on his shirt: PETA. No we were all politically conservative and Christian so I was preparing to have a talk with this kid. As he skated closer I was able to make out the fine print, "
People for the
Eating of
Tasty
Animals".

David had one of those 5-shot revolvers.
The sling revolved about his head as he waved/slung it; he had 5 smooth projectiles; hollowpoints weren't invented yet.
=======================================
They really should only regulate the magazines with more than say 100 pages; the high capacity magazines you know ...
magazines ... a play on words ...

But plenty on arrows, slings and swords. Jesus commanded his disciples to carry swords at the last supper (Luke 22:35-38).
Luke 22:38 wrote:And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
The daily carry AND a BUG.
