Children banned from shooting events in 2012 ticket giveaway
London schoolchildren are eligible for 125,000 Olympic tickets but these will not include any featuring guns, as Games organisers and City Hall fear a backlash from the anti-gun lobby.
Giving children tickets to the events, at the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, could have appeared at odds with Mayor Boris Johnson's bid to quell teenage gun and knife crime.
Mayor Johnson doesn't have anything to worry about. Guns AND knives are already banned there so there can't be a problem with gun and knife crime, especially from teenagers who are doubly banned from such items.
