We certainly are receiving a significant benefit from the legislation: a
safer country to live in. Your individual rights have to be balanced
against the rights of society as a whole, and compromises made. We have
compromised by allowing you to keep your lethal weapon, but society has a
right to impose conditions to minimize the chance that it be used against
other members of society.
