A Trip Back In Time To Swinton..!

So, we arranged my Mum's funeral 'life story' today at a Vicarage I went inside when I was about 7 for a weird school trip where the American priest at the time showed us his shotguns (despite the recent gun massacre of schoolkids at the time in Dunblane), while insisting that he wouldn't be giving them back to the British authorities ( Read more... )

So, an (I assume) Episcopal priest came over there to work, brought an arsenal and thought it was appropriate to show them off to a bunch of school kids after a school had been shot up?

(I'm hearing myself say that in the voice of Ice-T a la Law and Order by the way, which is John Mulaney's fault)

Is your friend's mum an Anglican priest or some other kind of clergy?

It was ALL in the Church of England, my Friend's Mum is also a Minister.

I'm guessing that the American priest arrived in Britain, bought the guns in the UK (when you could), Dunblane happened and they all got banned and just refused to go along with it. But yeah, your summation was more amusingly written!
