gun control yes! but this is stupid!, page-4

There is a far bigger problem with illegal hand guns than registered sports shooters.

Yes guns belonging to a registered sports shooter may fall into the rong hands or the shooter him/herself may crack and go on a shooting rampage but a lot of damage can be done with a single shot firearm as well.

The recent "sniper" case in the US the guy used an automatic weapon. The same thing could have been done with a reasonable bolt action rifle.
