She should have tried shooting 38s in it first.


They all remember "Dirty Harry" when they start out. Hell, I don't like to shoot a 357! Give em a 22 Standard. But that disappoints because it is not loud enough.

Shooting Galleries are a major tourist attraction here in Waikiki. No guns allowed in Japan. Billboard guys walk up and down Kalakaua passing out handbills. The pictures on the Billboards show an attractive little Japanese Girl with a 357 in her hand. If she fired it, it would knock her on her ass. :>)

Say anything you please about the Jews, but God help you....Looks like he had a lot of public support. But when did the BBC pay an attention to the public?

Kilroy-Silk agrees to quit BBC in face-saving deal

Matt Wells, media correspondent

The axe fell on Robert Kilroy Silk's 17-year career as the doyen of daytime TV talkshow hosts last night, when the BBC finally secured his resignation for making anti-Arab comments

........The announcement brought to an end a difficult week for the BBC. Some senior figures wanted to dismiss Kilroy-Silk a week ago when the Muslim Council of Britain first highlighted the offending column in the Sunday Express, which described Arabs as "suicide bombers, limb amputators, women repressors", and questioned whether Arabs had made any worthwhile contribution to civilisation. Instead, the view prevailed that Kilroy-Silk should be allowed to defend himself. The vacuum allowed Kilroy-Silk to ride a wave of popular support while the corporation appeared indecisive and ham-fisted. But an interview with Sir Trevor McDonald on ITV infuriated BBC executives and they sealed his fate at a meeting on Thursday evening.

Kilroy-Silk said last night: "I have been overwhelmed by the support from the general public, and I continue to believe that it is my right to express my views, however uncomfortable they may be.
