[QUOTE="claretcass, post: 296804, member: 9917"] This was exactly how it all started in the UK. we made the mistake of not acting quick enough and just thought "oh well, they will never ban shooting with handguns", in 1977 they did, they succeeded by stealth, and now we are paying the price, no handguns and the most tightly regulated firearms licensing system in the world. Start to contact like minded sportsmen, write to local newspapers, magazines, etc and put in a counter argument for continuing with your sport and not introducing bans etc. otherwise the politically correct brigade will win if the silent majority never get together and speak. I really enjoy this forum because of the diversity of hunting that you in the US can enjoy, your posts are great to read, me, I get my enjoyment out of hunting small game, rabbits, fox etc. but the politicians over here are trying to restrict it even more. So while you have the chance don't let them win by stealth otherwise whats next, fishing, alcohol, trapping. Sorry for getting on my orange box and ranting a bit but I feel passionate about this. Good luck in resisting any change. A UK shooter [/QUOTE]
