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

Good. Thats the best thing Ive ever seen him write. A good balanced perspective.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Great article by a true sportsman. I studied with him at Otago yrs back. Always forthcoming with his time and his boundless energy.

And he hasn't changed a bit since we first crossed paths in 1980, however to his other qualities you do need to add "delightfully mad) and that hasn't changed either! Originally Posted by hebe

Excellent article.
Just a shame that reducing crime isn't the primary motivation in gun registration."Sixty percent of the time,it works every time"

Did I read that right. $500m per year.
Well on the way to make Canadas fiasco look reasonable.

I don't believe that you've read that right. Originally Posted by pennyless

Original establishment was suppose to have been $408M, to be spent over four years, and now expected to increase to $500M (over the four year period). Still a lot of lolly!
Nothing that Chaz has said indicates what the ongoing costs are projected to be.
Certainly it has the prospect of becoming the proverbial bottomless pit, much as was found to be the case in Canada.
Did it achieve the purported goal - I think not else why would it have been abandoned?
