He's giving his opinion here is my one, gun ownership is a minority. So whatever your opinion is just consider the 90%? of voters in our democracy's opinion who dont own a gun and of them probably a significant % who dont want you to own a gun may think come election time. Appearing to be a bunch of uncontrollable nut jobs is one sure way to see us get draconian gun laws like OZ IMHO how ever unfair that is.

We don't know what percentage of the population don't want us to own a gun and to guess or suppose is pure speculation. Certainly, in the rural sector, it's been my experience that most folk are not anti gun.

Don't worry, almost everything in this thread is pure speculation

the strangest thing is if a drunk driver has an accident or any driver deliberatly kills someone .
presumembly cos people understand through familarity that the vehicle of the death is not to blame.
its not the car thats demonised its the persons and i know yes they were designed to kill but if maybe more people were at least familiar with the uses and good side of gunownership then even that might change.
so take every opportunity to enlighten show but not brow beat into people what fun and safe enjoyment can be had.
the funniest part of the whole weeks news was that they,re putting guns into the hands of cops who have less trigger time than the sons or daughters of your average hunter.
aint we been saying that for years duh and these are the very people trying to lay down and enforce the gunlaws to us ????.
the worst part of that is they,re armed with the very weapons we are considered, without jumping thru umpteen hoops, incompetent and unsafe to have.
talk about the hieght of hypocrisy and stupidity.
i cant make up my mind whether its sad tragic or criminal that ive put more rounds thru my bolt action 22 in the last 2 weeks than the average cops with thier glocks and ar15 varients will use in a year.If i addded in the shotgun i could probably be hired as a instructor hope they supply armoured footware.
