What does anyone need 10 assault rifles unless you're intending on killing a lot of people...There should be a person limits on such weapons...
When I went and did the course and sat the exam for my Australian Gun License, there was the trainer and the local Gun control officer conducting it. They asked for a show of hands for the reasons people were there.
Hunting... (hands went up)
Work on a farm... (hands went up)
Collectors... (hands went up)
Self defense... (NO hands went up)
The Gun control officer, and the trainer looked at each other and smiled. The Police officer said, correct answer, had you put your hand up for self defense you would have been shown the door.
I am a gun owner and have a couple of historical WW2 guns and a couple of very small caliber guns. I have grown up in a family of hunters and soldiers. I love my guns (I don't kill anything anymore BTW, just paper targets
too soft )
But for the life of me other than great fun to shoot, I cant see why any private person needs Automatic and Military weapons of that nature. Just because it is part of your constitution? perhaps it is time to rethink that bit.
It was once quite normal in the UK to use a
Cucking, and or a Ducking Stool for annoying wives. It was part of there laws as well. Doesn't mean it should still be.
Don't get me wrong, if they were legal there I would probably buy one just for the fun of having it. Doesn't mean I should. You have to at least try and make laws for the lowest common deliminator.
