Well that's just completely unworkable. One should be allowed to own at least two rifles for hunting. You don't want to shoot a squirel with a 30-30 nor a deer with a .22.


Chris,
That presumes anyone who is making the law has any of your interests at heart when they write it. That is seldom the case, since, the law isn't about you, it is about controlling you, which, is a near orgasmic thrill for some people out there.
The laws about one gun have already been put on the books in some places in Europe (you never wondered about why a drilling exists, Chris? It is only practical for someone who has been told he can only use and own a single gun) and if the left could, they would do it here as well. Regardless of how it works out for you and me in actual use.

Best,
Ted
