Hi Karl,

I know you weren't suggesting anything illegal, I was just trying to get across how extreme our laws are. I have some friends in Idaho and they were literally flabbergasted at our laws on firearms, its as if our Government is going to ban people with pointed sticks next.

Reminds me of that saying - If handguns cause murders do pencils cause spelling mistakes?

Re the air gun conversions, my guess is that air guns were chosen because they can be easily bought, but even that has been tightened up now. You can only sell an air weapon now if the transaction is carried out face-to face, to prove the purchaser is over the legal age limit to purchase (which I think is 17 years old).

A lot of handguns do come in from the old east european countries and these normally end up in the hands of the criminal fraternity. So we're in the situation where honest citizens are unarmed and criminals are armed, kinda weird really.

I do envy you guys that you're able to go to the range and spend some time target shooting.

Many thanks for your comments

Peter
