I personally find it disgusting when you see some shooters represent their country for international shooting sports, when gun control is so tight they have to go to another country to train. Like some english shooter who goes to switzerland.

I personally would refuse to represent the country, look for another one to represent, since why should you represent a country which is actually getting in the way of your training, rather than helping you?

I understand the criticism of the french law for a handgun in the home, but so far as NSW if you have an intruder in your home, its still illegal to grab your firearm and use it against them. Technically in NSW any weapon is illegal, all firearms are registered under a "genuine reason" condition, which does not include self defence, therefore using it for defence is a breach of that "genuine reason".

Thats the reason why none of my firearms are "weapons" so to speak, they are all sporting equipment.

BTW the sunday news paper did a write up on the most recent shooter in the states the 19yr old in the shopping mall, saying that he used an AK-47, i thought it was an SKK. I might have to write a letter, am i correct or are they correct.

Thats one thing that pisses me off, in situations like this, where theres a shooting, Everyones an expert.
