As said I really am not into taking away people's liberties.... perhaps a blanket ban is harsh as maybe the odd few can really justify owning one so extremely harsh licensing would be better... But it all gets a bit silly comparing sledge hammers and knives to a military weapon lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just think that a bit of kit like a semi auto assault rifle is not required by 90% of people, whether they hunt or not...so to buy one over the counter is a bit mad in my mind... Like I said blanket ban possibly harsh but you'd need to produce a real good reason to own one I think.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was having a bit of a gun debate with a Canadian fella in the US a couple years back. I think he got the wrong end of the stick and thought I was anti gun. Anyway, he tied telling me that Canada has about the strictest gun laws of anywhere........... Bless him. Took me a while to get over that one and respond. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
