I was a fed for 10 years here in Aus. I hunted recreationally since I was about 7 years old, and continue to this day. I've shot in the World Police and Fire Games, and the Australia, New Zealand Police Games with a degree of success. Good times. My current firearms collection extends to 5 - 3 rifles and two shotguns. Thinking of getting back into handguns (competitively) this year though, as my son reaches legal age for supervised range use and has expressed a strong interest. The one thing that never ceases to amaze me with those who are anti-gun is their complete and utter lack of knowledge of some of the most basic principles relating to firearms, ammunition, ballistics etc. And that basic lack of understanding is evidenced in the totally inane comments many of them make when speaking out against the use, ownership, carriage etc of firearms. Sometimes you just have to stare, shake your head and think to yourself "Wow, you really ARE ignorant aren't you".
