To state this in a different way, if you have some nutcase intent on a spree killing or a crim thinking about an armed home invasion, would you rather they have a single shot or bolt action, or a semi or to bring it closer to home for guys on this forum, if some numpty takes a shot at you in the bush without identifying their target, would you like to be on the receiving end of a semi ?

I think there are very valid reasons for owning and using semis, I just don't think that plinking, or "I like shooting shit" is a valid enough reason...

I think it is more than possible to hunt without semis, I think you can do duck-shooting quite successfully with twin shotties.

In all my years of shooting (military, recreation and competitive) I have yet to come across a person that does not start blasting away when handed a semi.

Feel Felt Found EBF . I know how you feel I felt the same way. I found that that's bull. We are possibly around the same age .
I wondered why the f... Anyone would want one. I tried one. Get your self an AR My last two fallow one hind one neat stag took one shot each and we're moving Not running moving . Sorry are those statements mindset or factual experiences in NZ that you have personally witnessed and if so you hangin with the wrong hunters !!

Hunters that turn the hunt into a competitive event are not suitable to have an FAL or any firearm. Competitors should know better or get told real quick. Military should be looked after by their own as well and disciplined or changed to suitable other duties . It's all part of the bigger picture. I reckon you ll find there are F all firearms incidents of stupidity with semis . If there are throw away the keys to the cell. Oopsy bit ranty sorry
