I understand and even appreciate most of your comments. But, as Spud says, too many nut jobs and the criminal fraternity who strongly desire this type of weapon and if the crims can get them, the police and the rest of us have a bigger problem than if they only had access to a slower-to-repeat firearm.
I really don't have a "bugger everyone else" mentality... More a sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the greater good belief.
I feel you're trying to make an extremist point by suggesting playing rugby or skydiving, and the risks of injury involved, can actually be drawn as a parallel for the risks of a sociopath being in possession of a rapid fire large calibre weapon.
I concede perhaps competitive sport shooting should allow for this type of weapon... But are pistol shooters permitted to keep their pistol at home? Or only on club premises in a sealed concrete and steel room? Get my drift? No-one should have these weapons at home, in a basic gun safe
Identify your target beyond all doubt! Sorry won't cut it later and no deer is worth the fall out. Safe and happy hunting![]()
