Imagine my daughter when she turns 16.... roaring down the Dimapur suburbs in a TVS scooty and a StG57 across the front.... 
He who can not think, is a fool; he who will not, a bigot; he who dare not - a slave!

Forget your daughter, cc, imagine you being able to do that.cottage cheese wrote:Imagine my daughter when she turns 16.... roaring down the Dimapur suburbs in a TVS scooty and a StG57 across the front....
Further on, something which I found on The Firearm Blog: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2010 ... arty-2010/
RegardsEvery five years the Swiss get together for a month long shooting competition / party. This year the Eidgenössische (Federal) Schützenfest was held in the city of Aarau. There were 2300 teams made up over over 45,000 individual shooters!
The infrastructure is mainly provided by Army and they were very friendly. This year the competition was held in Aarau (about 25 miles from Zuerich), with four shooting location, Rupperswil (the main one, with 120 shooting lines), Buchs, Suhr and Linsburg. You can shoot with anything that is or was army issued ("Schmidt-Rubin" Mousqueton 11 or 31, FASS57 or FASS90 for rifles at 300 meters, and swiss Luger, SIG P210, SIG-Sauer P22x, SIGPro, Glocks in 9 x 19 and Sphinx for pistols at 25 meters).
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

You want more gun control? Use both hands!
