That should be who ARE in the middle ground, time run out for editing original post...

Gotta say I've met some strange guys with FALs, or it could be I'm the strange one? There's a few I prefer not to shoot with. They are in the minority I hope!

Your not wrong Maca49.

I've met a few like that too.

When they turn up at the range I leave.

Are there any websites people have made for banning firearms?

I know SAFE has a page about why they should ban duck shooting

Is that cause it's mean to kill food?

You should have a read Maca. Bullshit on the internet is always good for a laugh

seriously I think half the anti gun people are halfwits

they say its cruel to kill animals for food where the hell do they think the meat they buy in the supermarkets comes from

cause it sure as hell doesn't come off a tree

and guns don't kill people people kill people


ok rant ova

Agree, but the anti's argue its easier for 'people to kill people' with guns.......thats their whole point!

they also state their supermarket food is killed quickly & humanely.......had plenty of heated discussion about that one!

Its like religion & politics, as soon as a person reaches a certain age there views are 'set'......hard to move them onto 'your side'......so compromise HAS to be reached......

Unfortunately firearms owners have not been hurt enough in this country ... yet ... to realise the ultimate truth of the saying" "Extremisim in the defence of liberty is no vice!"

Compromise with those who would enslave you or remove your freedom is simply seen, by them, as a weakness to be exploited.
They have complete contempt for others liberty and will stop at nothing to achive their ends - make no mistake about this!

Credible and effective (and implacable!) opposition is the only winning strategy - being 'nice' is for the losing side in this battle.

I guess it is because the bulk of firearms owners ARE 'fit & proper' and from the 'nicer' sections of society.

But fight we must to preserve even what we have or it shall be taken away - and that does not apply to just firearms.

Surely they aren't thinking about taking away my pineapple lumps.

In this country the statistics show it is a whole lot easier with a car Scouser.

Perhaps we could link up with other special interest groups, organise flash mob submitions for each other

The most powerful gun lobby in the World - the US National Rifle Association - has 5 million members in a country with about 100 million firearms users.

Nowhere do firearms owners have majority representation.

However it is determined minorities who generally shape the course of legislation. A few 'advisors' or strongly opinionated people who largely by hapenstance are in the right place at the right time.

Soe of us will be in Wellington chewing ears next week ...

Who are the people we are supposedly fighting? I've never seen any evidence of a group that wants to disarm people and are actively pursuing it. I haven't seen any people brandishing signs and approaching parliament.

Sure the Police and the pistol grip saga but at the end of the day they just want people to go through a bit more vetting and have better security to own a MSSA, which I understand. They aren't trying to disarm the population.

Just because there is the odd article written in a negative way doesn't mean anything.

Sure I know the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist, but I don't think that's the case here.
