I have been a firearm owner for 32 years and participate in shooting competitions every month at least twice, as do many thousands of people here in Oz and around the world.After all it is still an Olympic and Commonwealth sport. I also hunt on a regular basis and as soon as my 2 children reached the age of 12 they aquired their junior shooting licencses and togeather we have enjoyed many hours of sport,--yes it is a sport like any other you care to mention football cricket netball etc. It also is a very safe sport with very few injuries compared to others.
I consider myself and children to be responsible and skilled sports men and women--yes one of my kids is female-- and to be frowned upon because our sporting equipment is a firearm rather than a cricket bat, football or tennis raquet is unreasonable.
