Now while firearms ownership is a legal right, I choose to think of it as both a priviledge and a responsibility. That promotes me to be careful and thankful for our legally recognised freedoms.

But don't let some knobby policeman tell me that my legal rights are a priviledge exercised at their discretion. Wrong, they are agent for society to ensure that I meet the requirements of the law in order for me to be granted my rights under the law.

The finer points of that are of course lost on the masses with opinions.

Now how does it pan out when the white noise makers without accurate, relevant and competent opinions are the elected members making the laws?

Gee you lot are turning me into a cynic. Bad form!
