    For effective laws, that is, laws which effect saving of lives not just at hassling of law abiding people:

    1. Tackle traffic deaths.

    2. Tackle alcohol culture and related harm.

    That done, we are now the envy of the world!

    I am saying that their logic is flawed. Badly flawed. Especially seeing as so few Australians have been hurt by these (If you count recoil bruises as self inflicted and ignore them....) compared to other injuries by other weapons. (Knives, bats, fists, etc)

    Cannot happen without registration. Which is why registration must be shown to be the ineffective pointless sotution that it is. It will only capture the law abiding firearms owners and the crims who are the ones shooting ach other will continue to own illegal firearms.
    Yep.

    This post makes me upset. I now have another f%$#in bill coming as apparently 300 winmag is not powerful enough. I need to get another rifle.

    Been reflecting. I'd say compassion for animals' suffering is one good reason for to use a .338LM - even if you usually take them at <<1500m.

    And there is no 'overkill' possible when talking of one animal.

    There are those among us that would particularly agree with certain creatures.

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    I found one called BV that is a surface one that works well. They used to have an aerosol spry for flying ones but I cannot find it.

    Having never shot a camel I can't write from experience. So forgive me if I am wrong this is only guessing: "When you first start into them you can pick off the dopey ones up close with a 308 then as they start to wise up you need a 300 mag, and later to get the really crafty sneaky ones that are impossible to get within normal 300 range of, you need a 408, (officer)".
