If you take an average shot capacity of one ounce (hunting rounds may be more, trap/skeet/practice rounds may be less), you get some idea of the scale of things. Shot sizes are generally in the3-8 size range.
As an ex. UK FAC holder, and regular shooter, who was affected very badly by both the self-loading rifle ban and the pistols bans, I would think twice about pointing the finger at another minority sport/pastime without first obtaining 100% concrete evidence.
In these trouble times of illegal invasions of countries, supporting of outlaw countries (the US after refusing to heed the UN World Court),Browns brown shirts (The Police 'Service'), and neighbours spying on one another, I am reminded of a famous 1960's quoteabout the Third Reich
'First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.'
We should aim to be more tolerant of others.
