    As an aside, I will be competing in a three gun competition at the club this morning for the first time in a very long time (early 2020). I will be using a 9mm pistol, a 12g semi auto shotgun and a .22 semi auto rifle hopefully all with good effect but I can’t help but think that I will be using two fit for purpose firearms and a poor substitute and to me there is an absolute irony that I can be trusted with a pistol for which I will use five magazines with a 19 round capacity but I cannot be trusted with a rifle with which I previously used three magazines with a 30 round capacity. The law makers that affected this situation really were as dumb as a bag full of hammers.
    Pointer, stingray, Pengy and 3 others like this.
    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

    I saw a facebook post at confiscation time, a well known firearms salesman had a picture of the fully functioning 7.62X54R belt feed machine gun he was keeping and the .22short pump action rifle that was too dangerous for him to be trusted to possess anymore. Evil things, these .22short pump actions! Not to mention all the guys keeping their M16s but handing in their AR15s.
