I simply do not agree with you.

I agree with you Rushy, it's a privilege, not because of the police, but because with the strike of a pen, any government of the day can remove that privilege. For you that are not quite as old as a few of us probably don't remember the plans of one government to have all firearms surrendered a held in armouries that they could be withdrawn from and returned after use. Not a privilege? It certainly ain't a right, enjoy it while you can, and be prepared to defend ownership as a combined group when that time comes. Mr Alpers was bad news for us all, a few of him could cause real harm?
