Shooters come to town for a spot of holding up the traffic

Gun law: some of the 9,000 supporters of the gun lobby who gathered at Speaker's Corner yesterday before marching to Trafalgar Square for a rally. The marchers were protesting about the Government's proposed anti-gun legislation, which is still passing through Parliament. Members of the Sportsmen's Association of Great Britain and Northern Ireland argued that the new laws would not prevent the occurrence of another massacre of the type carried out by Thomas Hamilton in Dunblane last year.
