Re: Help an Aussie to understand......
Maybe we have digressed from my original question. <br /><br />I'm not for one moment suggesting that you change the constitution and try to remove guns from your society, it's too ingrained. And I'm not saying that it's wrong. I am not challenging your right to bear arms, I'm just asking why you do. Aside from 'because we can' and 'for self defence', why would any sane person want to be in possession of such a dangerous instrument?<br /><br />For the poster who asked if I have ever pinged at some soda cans? Yes I have. My ex brother-in-law lives in Utah. My (ex)wife and I visited about 10 years ago and we 'played' with .22, 303, black powder pistols and a shotgun. Guess what my reaction was... 'And?....' Wonderful, the soda cans fell down, what next? No, I didn't find any 'fun' in it. It was pointless and childish.... And to answer the next obvious question 'Yes I do know how to have fun' <br /><br />So, back to the beginning. Please, no more on the rights and 2nd amendment, I'm not agruing about those, just why you do it (aside from 'because everybody else does'). <br /><br />Chris............
