G'day GM Gadge and all peace loving folks

There is the expression, 'biting the hand that feeds you'.

The great Budding Foundation has provided a glimpse of the talent that was
Edwin Budding, the inventor of the lawnmower.

Edwin invented the lawnmower and ... a 'Pepper Box' pistol!
I wonder whether there is something ironical in that ... ?
Did Budding shoot at his own lawnmower?
