Indians For Guns

Greetings fellows members,

I just wanted to know if any of you guys know if there is any MSS as captioned, tournament held anywhere in India ?
I have witnessed and participated in these tournaments while I was abroad. It is a thrilling experience . You need at least .22 cal rifle for this purpose and it is done out doors , minimum distance that I know of is 50m , usually off hand. There are no rules and regulations , meaning as long as you hear the "clink" of a hit and the Silhouette goes down , you scored ! Then there are metallic plates dangling from a line and you hear that " Clink " and it spins a complete circle, depending upon impact of the shot . The most thrilling experience is to shoot the plate with a Muzzle Loader. But then, you won't be able to see the plate spinning or the metallic animal silhouette going down. Anyway, it great fun !

I can hear deep sighs among fellow members and a rumbling of descent against draconian gun laws in India that appall common sense ! I think it is the lack of unity, void from steadiness of purpose among the shooting fraternity and lack of a powerful gun lobby that is taking a toll on our aspirations in this sport.

God help us for we mean no harm !

When you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns ! Old western saying.

Gun laws are made in Parliament and there are quite a few MP's who can sponsor a favorable gun legislation. Any MP who opposes the bill when it comes for voting should be labelled as anti-gun MP ( pro- criminal MP who is supported by funds from criminal enterprises ) and his name should be circulated in his constituency with this label . If he can have gunmen to protect his life, then why can't a law abiding citizen own a weapon for his/her protection. He has to make a statement whether his life is more important than the lives of his constituents.

This will take some time before the words goes around among MP's not to mess with gun lobbyist !

Now , who wants to be a hero of the gun lobby ?
