Also, I forgot to mention in my previous post.  When the shit hits the fan here
in the US (and it will very soon, look at the situation in the south from the
hurricane) I will be prepared to defend my family and feed my family with my
rifles.  I won't starve and neither will my wife and kids.  So if the problem
is that firearms are legal in the USA then I guess its a problem that I want to
feed my family if I am forced to hunt because society as we know it falls
apart?
