Didn't help the people at Ruby Ridge or Waco when the feds came knocking. Perhaps it better not to have them come knocking in the first place?

Oooh! That would be a nice side arm to my HK G3 assault rifle. I also have a Mauser M98 (not K), and a very nice old Russian side-by-side 12 gauge. I sold the .45 and the MP5.

They didn't factor in the kiwi traffic cameras that mail you a ticket for driving 1 mph over the speed limit...If they had more guns they could shoot the cameras down, thats what we do in the states at least...

I  like that result especially as we are in second place. To be fair it's all much of a muchness for top 20 or so. Small countries like my own seem to do better overall. In small countries it's harder for the politicians to distance themselves from the people. Smaller countries need inward investment so freedom is very important to attract that investment. That's why there are so many in the top ten.

LOL! No. I actually owned the MP5, it wasn't the army's. I've been involved with the practical shooting scene up here for a while now, but (again) I don't really have time to train and compete on the same level as the rest of the guys. I sold the .45 and MP5 to a friend who's passionately into IPSC. I'll just have to be content with blowing away a few animals now and then. ;)
