Hard to say Rancher! The government officials of Australia have engaged in their share of "book cooking," so who knows? Personally, I'm inclined to believe that Gun Control is not an effective crime fighting tactic. In fact, crime usually rises, once criminals no longer have to worry about victims being able to defend themselves!
In my opinion, that just seems like common sense. I understand that you don't want our side perpetuating erroneous information, because that undermines our credibility. However, I wouldn't take the other side's bilge as gospel, either!
Our thinking coincides quite well. Stay armed and self protected.
