Thread: Lock, Stock and Barrel in the South Island article

Always intrigues me people that have that fear of a piece of steel and wood. Have a retired friend who has never fired a firearm in his life.
He believes firearms are only made for killing people and should be banned totally, that's another argument, however it said to him, he happily drives a car everyday, now in NZ what's killing the most people and why don't they ban those as well? I trying to get him to come BP shooting with me, but so far to no avail!

And before anyone clobbers me for being a wally. I never had this attitude until I spent 10 days in hospital (including 4 days in A&E).
Majority of admissions and issues and injuries were directly atributable to "Beer Intake"
