Be Civil Joe.
I saw this played out in South Africa over a period of years. In the early '80's the law was changed to limit ownership to 12 guns. The Gun Owners used the same logic as Joe and said "Well we really don't NEED that gun".
Then in 2003 the law was changed to 4.
Now the Gov'mint is confiscating the fine doubles of people who "Don't NEED them". They are not issuing permits to PH's either in many cases.
"Do you really NEED that Holland & Holland 450/400. That's a self described Dangerous cartridge. Oh "dangerous game". Well we meant well to keep you from hurting someone." A friend lost a H&H Royal. Don't say it can't happen.

Anything Worth Doing is Worth Overdoing
