I don't fully understand it either. I do miss that freedom in the US. Many gun enthusiasts here seem frustrated with the slowly increasing restrictions anticipated in the coming years. There is a continuous tug of war between the KNSA (like the NRA) defending the basic position that penalizing sport shooters and collectors for the lawless deeds of a few is unfair and ineffective and the efforts of a far away Brussels to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks.

We can still go to the range though, and shoot a few boxes with a friend in relative freedom. And enjoy other collectors' favorite pieces and swap stories over a beer.
