If they can't apply the laws that are already there..what makes you think more laws will help?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The right to bare arms is enshrined in law to protect people from their own government in the US. It’s was and still is seen as a fundamental right to protect a citizens freedom. Mate, it don’t matter if a bloke owns an Apache attack helicopter if that’s what he wants to do, the problem is purely if he uses it to go nuts……no amount of laws and rules and regulations can regulate that. Thats just basic logic ! Edited August 15, 2021 by WILF 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,424 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Not read the details but the only issue here is why he had them returned after losing them for what ever reason. Other than that nothing should change. The fact is if you have a cert you have to be squeaky clean and not even say boo to a goose. But he could have just as easy jumped in his motor and caused untold damage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
