Prevention is more important, but I agree being whipped with a wet towel is insufficient as punishment. Lock Em up

Nibblet is close to the mark my post was in no way saying that I think that there are not a lot of usless nutters out there who do and will shoot at anything , but on the other hand just shouting the odds does nothing to help prevent others from getting shot .. I am not a grennie or a tree hugger and did alot or research into the subject in the 60's in response to a remit put before the NZDA annual confrenece concerning the wearing of blaze orange ,which was defeated .. those voting against the motion based their vote on honest opion and nothing more than their own actions and experience .. Having been a mountain safety firearms instrutor for more than a few years I can say that I have been doing my bit to help prevent hunters getting shot , but there just has to be more than passing a nother useless law or just punishing the offenders which does nothing for the dead ones or their families .. so keep saying bull shit , wankers , etc that really helps dosent it
