Tell me stephen, what do you think the "real" community thinks about firearms. By "real community" I'm assuming you mean the majority of Australians. Or do you mean the people that you hang around with, or maybe you mean the people in your town or something. I'm pretty sure that the majority of Australians are keenly "anti gun" apart from the ownership of a gun by a farmers. Do you doubt that? or do you think that the rest of the population aren't "real"
He already told you.
His example showed you that when they walked into Maccas and paid with coin and some empty brass was in their pockets that everyone there had a healthy, normal appreciation of firearms and didn't treat them as weirdo's. Not just his shooting crowd, not just his town - it was normal everyday australians in Maccas.
Unlike the fear whipped up by the media and far left. Your comment that somebody who likes firearms is a psycopath shows that leftie lean. I guess you will now have me believe that only right wing gun nut rednecks eat at McDonalds?
BTW I also marvel at, and enjoy looking at/reading about, other feats of engineering like cars, space shuttles and fast planes. I also enjoy the precision and challenges of learning to windsurf and surf, as well as the extreme difficulty of long range shooting. How exactly does an interest in shooting make one a psycho?
As to you feeling bad for all the dead animals you shot, next time you enjoy a loaf of bread, beer or cabbage leaf, thank a farmer and a recreational shooter. Cos with intensive farming and introduced species we'd be lucky to sustain half our population in Oz without shooting. Like it or not, there will be a requirement to cull.
If youa gree with culling and then move onto target shooter, you'd better ban javelin, fencing and archery whilst you are at it. They must be fkn psycho's to use those weapons for sport.
