While I absolutely agree with you, I also think many of us are guilty of forgetting how dangerous our equipment can be, and fail to take it seriously. How many times do we see photos of people shooting against larch-lap fences and not call it out? How many shooting fields do we push our luck with the overshoot requirement? Field ranges with iffy overshoot onto another lane that everyone knows about but it's a bit of a joke? Sure we have insurance, but it's still not ok.
While this crime in Norway is a completely different issue, in that it's a crime, we still can be blase and one day it'll bite us on the behind. Taking it more seriously before harder controls are brought in might help prevent that problem arising.
I'm not *promoting* regulation as such. I'm saying I'll understand if it happens. I'll understand why, and I'll accept it as being for the greater good. Making sure we as individuals and groups have our house in order well before that isn't a bad idea.
Now I'll go sharpen my broadheads and go hunt some rabbits in the local playpark.
