I wonder what type of gun he's 'developed a preference for"...

I think shotguns and rimfire rifles are all they can own in the U.K.

Thanks for finding that article. I couldn't find anything but gossip columns when I searched.

It's wonderful what you can buy when you have a lot of money and you haven't screwed up your life up by getting strung out on drugs, as so many musicians have.
