I read this funny joke on the bulletin board at the shooting range today. Major General Peter Cosgrove is the chief of the Australian Defence Forace from 2002 to 2005. General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. You’ll… [...]

I have been wearing the same belt for 13 years. I bought the belt in the university bookstore in my first year. It has made of leather and has a small university logo at the end. Over all these years, the belt witness my growth in waist size. … [...] 
What is the photo? Toilet? No! It’s DVC Indoor Range, probably the best shooting facility in greater Vancouver. It opened almost half year ago. Out of many reasons, I couldn’t try the range until today. One of the reason is price.… [...] 
I stayed in India for two months, I didn’t practice my shooting for two months. Today when I go the range again, I found my skill is really rusty. My rifle seems a lot heavier than its weight in my memory. My arm is sored and tried after only… [...] 
開始玩槍後﹐雖每星期去靶場練習﹐提升自己的射擊技術﹐但乃深感自己對槍械的知識不足夠。上射擊訓練堂時導師曾作基本解說﹐靶場的老前輩也樂於解答問題﹐不過始終還是要看書﹐才可以很有系統地明白使用槍械各方面要注意的事項。這本Combat… [...] 
平靜的溫哥華這星期發生了一件慘劇﹐波蘭藉男子Robert Dziekanski在溫哥華機場情緒失控﹐在入場大堂投擲椅子和電腦器材。由於言語不通的關係﹐警察不能勸服他冷靜下來。一位警員拔出電槍電擊他﹐他隨即倒地並掙扎反抗。警察最後將他制伏時他失去知覺﹐救護員到場後證實他已經死亡。… [...] I am never a fan of any sport super stars. I don’t understand why anyone crazy about some strangers playing sport somewhere far away. What is the fun of watching other people play sports on TV? Isn’t it much more fun to play the game… [...] 
科技發展一日千里﹐但手槍在過去百多年間變化不大。大部份槍廠生產的手槍﹐依舊源用二十世紀初的基本設計。在槍械的歷史中﹐手槍不單是自衛武器﹐還是一件工藝品。每一枝出廠的手槍也需要槍匠悉心調較﹐才能發揮出有效的準確性和可靠性。半自動手槍保養麻煩﹐容易發生卡彈毛病﹐因此不少人寧可放棄上彈快的優點﹐… [...] This is a speech prepared for the Toastmaster humorous speech contest. A woman walked into a gun shop and said to the shop keeper, “I would like to buy a gun for my husband.” The woman said she don’t know much about guns and ask… [...] 
談起槍械﹐很多人馬上會有負面反應﹐認為槍械代表危險﹐暴力﹐與罪惡拉上關係。其實他們對槍械的恐懼﹐是出於對槍械的無知。他們對槍械的認識﹐大多是從只求視覺效果的電視電影﹐或嘩眾取寵的傳媒報導而來﹐與現實中槍械完全脫節。自從我考取了槍牌﹐擁有自己的槍械﹐不斷進修閱讀槍械的知識和歷史﹐我對槍械的印象慢慢改觀。槍械的形象其實也可以很正面﹐代表著自由人權的文化傳統﹐有著守護社會的光榮責任。… [...] Finally, I am able to find some firearm magazine in Save On Food, thanks to the tips from Jackson. I am too cheap to buy an issue, so I just stand there and read all four firearm magazine they have. What interest me is not only the articles, but… [...] 
相信大部份男性對槍械也情有獨鐘﹐是小時候看槍戰電影時 ﹐總會幻想自己像主角一樣是槍神手﹐放學與朋友拿玩具槍﹐口中高呼砰砰彭彭的駁火。很多年前我在美國試射過真槍﹐一直以來也很想玩射擊運動。在香港射擊是一門十分冷門的運動﹐全港大約只有二千人持有槍牌。一般市民想擁有槍械十分困難﹐除了要負擔高昂的槍會費用﹐還以通過重重關卡才獲發槍牌﹐射擊只是富貴人家才能享受的高尚玩意。在美國的情況則是另一個極端﹐差不多任何人也可以購買槍械。市面槍械泛濫﹐所以久不久新聞就有狂徒開槍連環殺人的報導。加拿大的槍械法案則取兩者的平衡﹐保障市民安全之餘﹐又不過份限制市民參與射擊運動的自由。… [...] 美國維珍尼亞理工發生的駭人槍擊時件﹐美藉韓裔學生在校院槍殺三十多人﹐時隔兩天NBC電視台收到兇手寄來的郵包﹐內有殺戮宣言錄影帶和槍手的照片。NBC在晚間新聞時段播出一小段影帶﹐並把影帶內容和照片發放給其他傳媒。影帶的內容沒有什麼特別﹐只不過是一個精神病人對社會的暴力控訴。不過NBC的做法卻引起非議﹐認為他們播出兇徒的錄影帶會傷害死者家屬﹐也有專家認播出影帶達成兇徒的心願﹐可能引起模仿效應引起更多槍擊事件。另一方面也有人認為NBC播出錄影帶是正確的決定﹐因為公眾有知情權﹐而影帶也有助認清事情的真相。… [...] |
