John, re:I've never owned a real gun I had a couple as a kid - a 16 gauge shotgun (now quite rare) and a .22lr. Plinked cans and bunnies, sold them when I was 16. Didn't play with them again for quite awhile - met a gunsmith eight years ago and went to a Benchrest competition using his three .22lr's he spent over $5,000 apiece building and shot forth place. I'm sure it wasn't my skill so much as his quality guns. That got me started down the road of collecting older .22lr's and of course you meet more hunters, etc., etc. It really irked me when I learned things I wanted to buy were really expensive because of the AW ban - but legal and easily available. It made you ask what the heck was that law for anyway. When you confront a bad law - you question the motives of the people that created it - they had to know the effect was bullshit. ir5050.com
