    I should have explained a bit better, it's very easy to visit this country, hire a camper van or car with close to zero experience and drive.

    Balanced and articulate.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That's a great article, my feeling always were once all bulshit aside the amount of accidents to the amount of people engaged in firearms activity are relatively low to amount of use. Will never be zero unfortunately, nature of the beast.
    Our firearms laws, based on the actual person work well with ramped levels of compliance to category , maybe this simplicity and that it actually works well just annoys the anti-brigade

    Journalists are ranting at guns and guns owners ,and we are the target of thoses recent ( dramatic) news and articles, because they have nothing else to vomit onto at the moment and guns are an easy subject to talk about...
    If next week a fleet of Japanese boats come and kills some whales in our waters, the attention of the public will change and refocus to that new drama, and we might even join the greenies on this one.
    And back in Japan people will probably argue that they are doing scientific research on whales and that the killing is justified.
    I recon they are doing culinary research on whales myself!
