Next thing your going to say is that the registry prevented deaths.

There obviously has to be limits on these things ... its not a liberal fear thing ... its simply that the majority rules.

Well iggy if am not a ex cop what do you think I worked at for 36 years.

I have actually taken you off the "ignore list" to have a good laught at your comments.Your past history on this forum and over at the hunting lodge is well know to many.I know your own hunting website did not work out for you and you were the subject of a mutiny, so please Captain Blyth dont come on here and strong arm your opinion on everybody.

No I certainly dont think the registry did anything other than waste money.

My point is that it doesnt matter whether one is more dangerous than the other ... all that matters is what the perception is out there.
Given that even hunters don't think handguns are appropriate for hunting it seems unlikely that the broader public is going to think they are appropriate.

I'll start the tally of hunters that disagree with this statement.

#1

Since many hunters on this site have said they do not vote, what difference does their opinion make.

BTW... though I agree with Welsh's statement about the reality I still think that it is reasonable to carry a handgun in the woods for those that spend a lot of time there. I don't personally want to enjoy the challenge of hunting with one but I am supportive of anyone that has the will to do so.
It politics and perception same as people thinking this is actually anything such thing as an assault rifle. They read the first two lines in a media story and think they are informed.

I think we should just have a handgun for when we travel to the "city"
I work there a lot and I always ask my "boss" kevlar required before I go?
In the bush I don't think we need this, just a rifle or axe is good enough.
But hey to each their own
This isn't the states......
Just saying

#3...Maybe we even get a special handgun season. TC Contender in .444 would be on my wish list - and I can fire .410 ammo in it as well.

#4. Give me a revolver in .22lr please
