They're talking about our game over on After Hours. Only just found it, so I'm off for a read. The first few posts don't look encouraging :( .

Like it or not, we all end up as ambassadors for our sport on here, it's a public forum after all...

Yup, but look at it this way ammo - this is an opportunity to teach a lot of people what the sport is actually like, and maybe get a few to try it...

You should go over , Sparks , and enlighten them . They appear to have very little understanding of the firearms system in Ireland and it is a case of the blind leading the blind.

After Hours is the embodiment of the saying that opinions are like arseholes. A quick look at the standard of the debate and writing skills used on that thread suggests that many of the contributers aren't particularly mature or well informed.

I wouldn't bother trying to argue with antis there, many of them have nothing better to do than get into pointless repetitive arguments that will get you nowhere. Ignore the thread, the instigators will get bored and come up with another topic as soon as their attention span expires.

yeh , its not the guns that kill , if you put a loaded gun on a table it wont kill anyone , its only when someone picks it up that there is a potential for it to do any harm . So its the firearms owners that should be licenced not the firearm itself .
