Thread: Darwin is getting slow in his old age.

ebf I apologise I can't seem to find the report of that I had read and what I can find now seems to be from an obscure site with no reliable source whatsoever so I'm going to say it was bogus. But I do agree with what you have said. Gun deaths have declined, gun crime however is probably a different story but as you have mentioned earlier - who really cares?

On the topic of gun control though, which what I'm about to say might be a bit of a downer & I apologise on making a shit thread, even shitter... (We should really all be out shooting as much as poss and talkin about it) But lets be honest here ebf, it's not hard to see where the trends are taking us with gun control. Look at the stringent gun laws for AUS/NZ/UK & some states in the US. In the next 20 or so years where do you see NZ in it? We are unquestionably a guinea pig country and things are gradually tightening with gun control. I say gradual because it's exactly that, we are conforming to a slow process of gradualism.

The politicians along with the gun grabbers all lobby together to form stricter and stricter regulations on firearms. You regulate something and keep regulating it till it becomes redundant, unwanted or just plain useless. Take the "free standing pistol grips" for example?

Anyway, that's it for me rant over. Fire away
