For the record, handguns have indeed been totally banned in the UK. "Hunting" has been also been outlawed, but the term "hunting" in the UK applies only to the practice of following hounds on horseback in persuit of fox. The UK's ban on this form of fieldsport is laughably flawed and it not one hunting group has stopped because or it.

In reply to Julia's post, I'm wondering why your email address doesn't include @bbc.co.uk as all the other Channel 4 addresses do? Moreover, having watched Channel 4 once or twice, I find it rather difficult to see how there would be in interest in a program about American-style hunters. Could you, perhaps, tell us a bit more about your project?
