Yeah ... no thanks, i'll look at the bigger picture. Someone care to quote the figures from America when the gun laws were softened over there a few years back?



Of course the hypocritical thing is that while I support these gun laws, I do own a MP Megatron, a G1 Megatron, a G1 Megaplex and a G1 Browning but i'd much rather get the appropriate permits than fight a law that's prevented another Port Arthur.

NO NO NO NO NO, just make a point of showing how good ideas fail when aplied to something other than there initial intent.I am an advocate of gun control, hell one day I'll send you some pics of the billboards where I live, you'll see how serious I am about it as it's no joke in The Bricks!But even good laws, when set to impractical practices, can become bad.I say get them back on track of their origional intent, and take their otherwise great intents off these farces.When I say I subvert laws, I mean it, I do. I wouldn't sell a pack of cigarrets to a todler, but I'll gladly score a box of palmtrees for someone who knows about mortars and knows how to launch them.And this is even less than that. This is a toy, not a drug or explosive. It can't hurt anything but ones own wallet.A civil disobedience in ordering this item with a consequence being showing a goverment just how far off course the intents of it's have tread...well, that might just be a fight worth taking up.Whats the worst that will happen, you'll get an awesome(yet fragile) figure, and a system will look closer at the applications of it's directives.Hell, thats good in my book.And the reason that I mention the things I have in previous posts here, as well as run my own(granted now pointless)thread, is just to prove that I do stand by this type of idea, weither it be America, Australia, Taiwan, or where ever...It's always better to show a misimplied laws folly, than let a system continue to make it perverse.This is the main reason why I made it a point to order a clean figure from a semi-industrialized source. I didn't want to be a victim what I just expressed.
