"Spearguns are still OK, provided you're in the water ..."?
I guess you keep them in a "Government approved underwater locked speargun case"?, else when you come up to the beach with your evening meal and whammo, the cuffs and off to jail!
Is the (spear)gun alone (without spear) illegal, or the spear its self, or heaven forbid, it must be the evil rubber band (by the way, are the rubbers classified (.22 calibewr rubber band, .44 MAGNUM rubber band, etc.)
All kidding aside, the Government and authorities in your country have carried the banning of "weapons" to the point of ridiculous.
We in this country are heading that way at a very rapid pace. It also pains me that the "GOOD" citizens of this country are being forced into becoming the criminal element that we all dispise. More and more I am hearing words from my fellow citizens that I have never heard before in my 56 years and those are the words "civil war" and "I am prepared to put my life on the line". For our elected officials to move this country in this direction only means one thing to me. These are not leaders, THEY are what we need to abolish in this country, but people are too damn lazy and stupid to think of a way to do that. Also doing that would conflict with the "We are all the same" politically corect
doctrine. Well, we are NOT all the same, but guns are. So I say get off the backs of good citizens and get to work on the filth of society. The 50's and 60's didn't have crime like we have now because they didn't tolerate it as a society. Kissing the butts of worthless people is why crime is the way it is today.
Cornered Rat, thanks again for sharing what we are in for in the very near future. Let it be a lesson that we should all keep in mind.
