Very true Olle- well put.
That being said, I really hope we in the Netherlands can continue to shoot and enjoy firearms for sport, hunting and/or collecting.... every so often the EEC gets into the act, trying to curtail firearm ownership even more, which is followed by vigorous protest from the 'firearm world" because we can easily see that the ideas proposed follow the same lines as your comments Olle, and because we can also see that those trying to increase gun regulation have no idea how the firearm world really works. Then the protests subside, and we go back to "business as usual." We do need some "fences," which we now have.... but tighter. higher fences will not be really productive. As you say, there are other and deeper things playng here.

You all have a nice day....
