 I'll just butt in here by saying that they're having " a lot of weather at the moment " in Essex,so I don't reckon our Essex friends will be here until their electrical storms abate. It sounds awful down there.
Fires caused by lightening strikes,,and floods by the deluge of rains. Hope all are okay.

Take a rifle wrap your hands around the foregrip and the stock and then back the stock into something as hard as you cna multiple times and see if they chip or break.
What makes you think Sheila did that? I doubt that the rifle would kick back in that fashion. Neither would she hold it like that to smash it over Ralph's head. Most likely she would be holding the barrel end to do that? Also maybe there was a fault and therefore a weak point in the structure of the rifle butt that made the end break off like it did? But as with other things we of course weren't there so we don't actually know what happened?

No storms here lookout. Mind you we may have a sharknado soon? ;D I fell asleep just after a late dinner. Just this minute woken up.

Most areas restrict handguns moreso than rifles, that is an interesting reversal.

Handguns aren´t allowed at all - unless you are a police officer. Why I wrote what I did is because obviously there are criminals who don´t give a shit and have them anyway; they are more likely to have handguns than rifles!

Grahame,the most likeliest thing that could have happened there would have been when she went to bash her father,she may have missed if he'd ducked,and so slamming the rifle against the wall ?

After the Dunblane massacre the gun laws have been tightened up so much that to even own a handgun is against the law and carries a heavy penalty. I think one MP here has just been found guilty of owning an old WW11 German handgun. An SAS man not so long ago was also found guilty of owning a handgun and actually went to prison for it. Gun laws are very strict here and I'm glad. I don't want Britain to become like America where gun accidents and gun crimes are concerned.

In fact if you work it out logically by shooting the rifle it Sheilas nails need not have come in contact with the gun at all, except of course the loading of the bullets, if she knew how to do it. Aman naturally thinks of using more of the tip of his thumb to push the bullets into the magazine, whereas women are naturally more inventive than men and she would possibly have used the side of her thumb rather than the nail part? It is of course all very debatable? But all her other nails should not have posed a problem?

Ooooo,they tell lies on the news. It was one of those " breaking news " things too. ::)
I snoozed after my dinner before too. ;D Couldn't keep my eyes open at all.

I am glad the gun laws are so very strict here too. There is one thing I do not get at all about some states in America. You claim you want a firearm in your home to be able to protect yourself; reluctantly I can see a reason for that, but what do you need semi-automatic guns for - and or a whole arsenal of guns?
The mass shootings in schools and other places have become so frequent that you almost have gotten used to them - that is just not right! I don´t understand why people wouldn´t want gun laws, which could limit them!

It even happened in Norway. One of the places that you really do not expect that kind of lunacy. One of the most peaceful nations on Earth.

If I were a hunter, I could own a rifle - or if I were in guard service; I am neither!! Firearms in the middle of Copenhagen are very, very rare, especially rifles!  :P

Actually, I live in the middle of the Durham Dales so guns aren't so unusual here. Having said that, I never see them but hear them quite often, especially during Grouse season - which is coming up.
Few people have the imagination for reality

As a wearer of long nails myself,you have certain knacks on how to handle various things to avoid " breakages ",but they're not a hindrance when you're used to them and you just carry on as though the nails aren't long. I've never been perturbed by them for any job,so Sheila wouldn't have had a problem there at all.

That was a terrible tragedy! About eight years ago, we drove past that island where it happened, Utoya,  very beautiful place.
There was also a school shooting in Finland some years ago, so it does happen, but of course it is limited compared to the US, because the weapons aren´t so easy to get.

I bet they're guilty birds really Susan?  ;) i Reckon they regularly go on secret rampages, waking up the neighbours before light and going around at night kicking over all the beer bottles outside pubs. The farmers have brown wise to them and so go out with dogs and guns and beaters and try and catch them off guard. ;D
