Give one good reason to relax gun laws.
Maybe you could try reading some of the other posts in this thread.
Such as:
"So pepper spray, knives etc against snakes, rabid cattle and wild dogs. Truly you've never lived on a farm. Try putting an animal out of it's misery with a knife. Especially a cow or something similiar."
AND
"Well actually the gun laws are already to constricted. A lot of rifles, owned in the majority by farmers who use them in their day to day lives, were declared illegal. This was in response to an intellecutal in the government who reckoned that criminals were about to embark upon a spree with bolt action rifles and the like.
It was a knee jerk reaction and a cheap shot at winning votes by fools who feel safer that some farmer has a longer wait between shots at the brown snake trying to bite his ankles."
Both of the above are parts of posts of mine on this thread.
But if you want a better reason:
Gun laws are so tight if I a pissed off brown snake, wild dog, mad bull or any other dangerous animal decides to have a go at me or my family etc I have to run and find my dad who has the gun licence and he has to go home to the gun locker, get the keys, get the gun, and then get the keys for the ammo locker. Load the gun and get back to where the action is. This should only take ten or more minutes and hopefully the person in danger can play round and round the rosie with a four foot brown snake.
At one time the gun would have been in easy access where someone like me could have handled the situation and saved valuable time. Luckily our farm is not too big. Imagine a 13 000 hectare property with this shit going on. You see your little sister being chased by a wild dog and you have to find your old man in
13 000 hectares.
Gun laws should be looser in those respects.
And there is the fact that most automatic rifles or semi automatic rifles have been outlawed and so if you miss the crazed cow charging you, you have to work the bolt, or lever, again instead of firing straight away. A real bastard if you're aiming at a moving target.
