onthebeach,

I completely agree. It is all about choice (as long as it is legal) and taking responsibility for one's action.

I would think that all thinking people agree with you.

I am firmly of the opinion that women should be banned from the shooting sports, they keep beating me.

Is Mise,

Ssshhh, keep it quiet but there have always been a large number of women members of shooting clubs. Many men and women competing in the in the Paralympics as well.

Forty years, what a record.

Here is to the quiet achievers who get out and do things.

Hi there ONTHEBEACH...

I gather you're a proponent of the shooting sports eh ? Have you ever had the opportunity to handle one of those Olympic Match 'Free Pistols', by chance ? They have enough rods and weights, and other mysterious appendages hanging off the jolly thing, one would need close directions just to load it ?

Seriously, I do understand that this 'free pistol' event is so minutely precise in accuracy, even their eyeglasses are specially constructed to the 'enth' degree. I really wouldn't know, but I can only imagine how much all this kit must be, to enable these exceptional sportsmen and women to seriously compete in the Olympics.

Hi there, o sung wu.

I would prefer to let these lovely people do the talking through their accomplishments,

As a reminder, these are the citizens that Belly and others wilfully conflate with criminals. They are the law-abiding licensed people affected by the bureaucratic paper-chase of the Howard-inspired gun control, their names and personal particulars are on police computers as 'persons of interest' -also pop up as warnings when regos and home addresses are scanned by mobile police in cars- and are subjected to random police inspections in their homes by uniformed police in fully marked police cars.

However at the same time, Belly and other gun control 'experts' would never accept similar treatment of the real, known offenders, such as OMG bikies with records and drug traffickers. Oh no, criminals have rights. It is the ordinary citizen and victims who do not have rights. The Left have warped the rights of ordinary citizens. That is the Left 'Progressives' for you: State control and bans for ordinary citizens and a free go with guvvy support for the bent and lazy, who don't obey laws anyhow.

'afternoon to you ONTHEBEACH...

That's extraordinary, these young 'slip's' of girls handling (and handling very well) these big bore 7.62 rifles, nearly as long as they are, truly amazing ! And to enter the illustrious Queens Prize is quite an achievement, considering the distances they have to shoot over. My day, it was 300yards to 900yards with the .303 SMLE, in either No1 Mk3 or the No. 4 both SMLE's though.

Now they compete from 300 metres out to 1000metres ! They would sit most blokes right on their collective a... !

Thank you very much for the link ONTHEBEACH, I really appreciate it.

Cheers...Sung Wu.
