Hunters aren't the only people who use firearms. Others have been horrendously impacted by draconian regulations far more than hunters,competition shooters for example all the while giving criminals a literal free reign. Government policy regarding all things firearm related is wrong headed at every level.Quote:

Another 2 billion dollar boondoggle by the libs where firearms are concerned. Sound familiar. Nothing in this world is certain but i am pretty certain that if 2 billion was spent on stopping/reducing the flow of illegal guns across the border instead of targeting law abiding citizens a whole lot more lives would be saved. But hey why target criminals when we can waste 2 billion harassing law abiding citizens.

Who cares if that happens - they are not the criminals causing the problems. Target the criminals - last i checked it was not a crime to use firearms at a range - although maybe you think it should be.Quote:

Definitely.. then it wouldn't give reasons for them to punish the non criminal for the criminals actions . We see it all over we pay more or loose out on that ,because of criminals lol. Instead of the law abiding citizens being punished criminals need to be taught a lesson.Quote:

I am afraid your living in a Utopian world, not going to happen. After almost 4 decades in policing in a very busy downtown area a increase in crime and less respect for the Police.Quote:

The "legal industrial complex" is a big machine with everybody making out pretty good, the more crime increases the greater need for "pay duty officers" so they are happy. The more crime increases happier lawyers who defend the criminals, happier court officials and judges. The more crime increases the greater the fear of crime, the need for more officers and bigger salaries.
I have given the solution on here for about 16 years, jail must be very harsh and a place you do not want to go to and never return to.
Location for jails so far isolated there is zero chance of escaping and surviving, food and water available as a reward for hard labor.
I am pretty sure there were not many repeat offenders in the Russian Gulag system.
Looks like I am getting carried away with my own ideas of prison Utopia.
With friends like these you don't need enemies.Quote:

We, as gun owners, can follow one of two general paths.
1. We can continue to operate as individuals, jump up and down, and complain when our priveledges are incremnentaly reduced
2. We can join together and show more response to society's gun concerns and lobby the government for a more challenging PAL test, more accountability for gun use/storage, and an increased overal difficulty and cost to the process
In scenario 1 we will gradually loose priveledges, in scenario 2 we keep privledges.
In the US there seems to be an initiative put forth by Matthew McConaughey which the governrment should take action that can save lives without infringing on second amendment rights. He takes an impartial approach which creates inclusion from both sides. Ulitimately, gun ownership is retained.
