Gun owners need to understand that it isn’t a right, its a privilege the rest of us allow only if conditions are met.

If something happens that alters the situation those conditions are set for, they need to respect changes that may come.

Setting themselves up as victims, like they have here, makes me question the participants mental capacity to evaluate their own behaviours, therefore their own risk to those around them.

Two people were killed by a gun owner in circumstances where his ease of access to guns greatly increased the severity of the consequences. Communities have a right to expect gun owners to seriously appreciate the risks of their firearm possession.

Also screw the Nationals for making this a political fight, especially a rural v metro fight. This is bigger than you’re never seen dirt akubra hat and white pressed shirt with rolled up sleeves country cosplay.

    @Gorgritch_umie_killa Last I read the limit was going to be 10 guns per licence holder. I’m not a firearm owner but to my ignorant ass, that seems enough. Happy to be educated on why it isn’t.

      I think I read that it was ten and five for a hunting license. I’m with you on the other perspective thingy: This sounds entirely reasonable.

      I’d actually appreciate a simple explanation of the law, what is changing and why it’s bad. I have found the legistlation but it’s in some dialect. I don’t really follow what is different.

      I think thats right. No disagreement here.

      I had a friend that worked in the industry, a lot of what the industry people say about genuine need is a load of bull. Just like any other hobby they wanna get the latest whizz bang thing and show off their collections. Fine, but guns aren’t just any hobby.
