Pro-gun lobby targets parents of dead boy
Pro-gun lobby targets parents of dead boy
(Filed: 16/01/2005)


The parents of a two-year-old British boy who was shot and killed in Turkey have become hate figures for the US pro-gun lobby.


David and Ozlem Grimason, whose son Alistair was killed in 2003 as he slept in his pram in a cafe, have been targeted over their campaign for gun control.


A contributor on one website describes them as "idiots" who should stop meddling in the affairs of other countries.

1. And it is not interfering with another country when...
an American tells a Brit what not to do in Turkey.

2. Or when the US forcibly tells other countries what form of government
they should live under.
