    I was just talking to my daughter about this very thing this morning.
    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 would be amazed if one could actually make a workable firearm from a soft air pistol as claimed what about a metal barrel and action for a start -the other thing that really stands out for me in all of this argument all the photo's of what gets seized is what I would describe as junk firearms -old shotguns 22.s - no modern pistols or sub machine guns etc - so pretty dubious of all the claims on this stuff coming in - seems a bit of a con

    If they can get meth in by the ton then surely they can get a few bang sticks past easy enough.....How many shipping containers pass through our ports? And how many are they able to check / examine ? And passing new laws banning stuf....the only people who will take notice and obey them are the ones who already obey the law and are not the problem....

    Yup. We are low hanging fruit. The easy ones. We comply and it looks good. But we arent the problem. Crims don't comply.
    If anyone thinks that they won't start to get some really nasty pistols, smgs and the likes thrown in for shits and gigs in a drug shipment they are truly ignorant.
    Won't matter if they are worn out pieces of crap but a few thousand worth of asties like that in a 20 million shipment is just a drop in the ocean.
