The weapon of choice is of no importance, the mentality to use a weapon is the real issue.
Social engineers & mindless Academics have hounded parental & other discipline for decades. Isn't it high time these people get side-lined into positions where they can no longer do so much harm to society ?
If I had my way I would even charge some of them with being instrumental in the rise of crime !

Maybe its a play on words ttbn, that went over your head. As for this gem;

"We all abor (sic) the deaths of those young police officers and the neighbour, but you really have to be right off your trolley to think the horrible episode is part of an epidemic", no you don't not when you read what's next. I started a thread three days before the shooting in Queensland, under the heading; "Could A Reich Citizens Movement Exist In Australia". Having a concern about right wing nut jobs in this country. You poo-hooed my concerns with this comment the same day; "The movement already exists in the form of the Greens Party and its sympathisers in the ALP." Three days later three right wing nut jobs shot dead in an ambush, two police officers and an innocent civilian. You must like making yourself look like a silly old fool! You do it often enough!

Hi Issy welcome aboard,

"Note that firearm thefts went up after the Greens revealed the localities in which there were the modt firearms.
This was either a cynical and potentially dangerous exercise or a deliberate way to help the criminal element."

No sure what you are on about there;

MODT; "Memorandum for the deposit of title deed or MODT is applicable for all home loan borrowers. It is essentially an undertaking given by you that you are depositing the title documents of the property with the bank at your own free will in return for a loan."

That sounds very 'Dennis Denuto' from you; "Yes your honour, its Mabo, its the vibe, yes that's it, its the vibe."

That charge was shown to be nonsense put forward by the off the planet right wing nut jobs from the Shooters and Hooters Party. The mob who have a policy to arm 5 year old's for so called "self defence". Good luck with that one!

Hi Ho Indy,

"The weapon of choice is of no importance, the mentality to use a weapon is the real issue."

When I'm being chased by a 'Gun Nut', a fully paid up 5 year old member of the Shooters and Hooters Party, who is claiming "self defence" as his valid reason, because he thinks I tried to steal his bag of 'Tiny Tators' and is intent on dispatching me to the never-never for my crime, I hope his weapon of choice is a pop gun and not an AK-47

Seems that losing one’s Firearms Licence and being considered “ not a fit and proper person” can really affect some people; potential or actual nut jobs.
Have you reapplied yet Paul?

Whatever is going so wrong in society is 99% caused by do-gooders interfering in peoples' lives !
They managed to turn decent people into criminal-minded ones !
