Agreed. How over reaching is the arrogance, and power trip of those who would decide what we "need".
Because someone halfway across the world, surrounded by armed guards "thinks" that all someone "needs" is an 11 pound .375 H&H to fend off big bears, because a strapping young man said that somewhere. Meanwhile, we expect because the "needs" have been ordained that everyone should be fine with that. In reality, something softer, and much faster shooting, with greater capacity works better for an 83 year old lady with arthritis, berry picking North of the Arctic Circle.
