Mr. Michael Tope:

We are back to a link between target shooting, legal firearm ownership and crime. I dispute there is one. If the Deputy were to walk into any firearm shop, the nonsense of this appearance argument would become apparent. A person can buy a realistic imitation firearm and I would not be able to tell the difference between it and a real firearm. A child could buy one. From here to the table, I could not tell the Deputy the difference.
