The Greens are impractical sidewalk cafe theorists.
If a farmer or his wife or his employees need a gun they are often going to need it in a hurry.(unquote).

Far better to be a impractical sidewalk cafe theorists than a rednecked troglodyte who can't see past the end of their gun. Farmer needs a gun, why? Are the Hatfields still feuding with the McCoys.
The reallity is the first thing a person owning a gun is likely to shoot is them self followed by a family member.

Paul1405,
I presume that is 1405 AD?

Still it could be BC, you're far enough out of touch.

Paul1405,
How about you let us all know when you're ready to face a wild boar without a gun or a pack of dogs gone wild.
I'll bring my video camera.

Individual,

I need to clarify something for you as you seem to have the impression that I'm a teacher - I'm not.

You state that you hoped that "for the sake of the children that you teach..." I'm not a teacher by profession. But Thank You for the great compliment. However, I am a parent and as such, of course I had an agenda for raising my children - and that was to raise decent human beings. They're adults now and I'm proud to say that we
succeeded. Again, Thank you for the compliment, and for your concern.

Is Mise and Individual,

Paul is spot on. Why would you want to own a gun unless you intend to use it for hunting. One doesn't usually meet wild boars on urban streets. (Well, not the four-legged kind at least). And hunting also entails certain risks as well:

Two hunters are roaming through the woods when all of a sudden one of them grabs his throat and dies. The other hunter calls 000 and tells the operator, "My friend just grabbed his throat and died!"
"Okay, okay, calm down," replied the operator.
"Go over to him first and make sure that he's actually dead."
"Okay," replies the hunter.
The phone goes silent, than all of a sudden - BANG from a gun is heard.
"Okay," says the hunter, "Now what?"

JAPAN QUAKE HIGHLIGHTS NUCLEAR DANGERS : Greens
ABC News

Greens leader Bob Brown says nuclear energy is outside "the limits of human safeguards" (Reuters: Kim Kyung-Hoon)

The Greens say the threat from an earthquake-hit nuclear power plant in Japan shows the dangers of nuclear energy.

Friday's 8.9-magnitude earthquake and tsunami damaged the cooling system of a reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) says radiation levels have surpassed the legal limit and the cooling system at another of the plant's six-nuclear reactors has also failed.
Nineteen people taken to a nearby hospital have been exposed to radioactivity, in addition to three cases of exposure recorded on Saturday.
About 170,000 people have been evacuated from around the plant.

Australia has requested more information about the nuclear threat, which Prime Minister Julia Gillard describes as a very serious issue.

Greens leader Bob Brown says the situation in Japan is a reminder that nuclear energy is outside "the limits of human safeguards".
"It does raise real questions about the nuclear alternative, particularly for a sunny country like this where we don't need it. People don't want it," he said.
"When the Howard government promoted it, they quickly withdrew it, because the Australian people don't want to be unnecessarily faced with that sort of mega risk."

However, Ms Gillard says now is not the time to have a debate about nuclear power.
Meanwhile, conservationists say Australia will be morally culpable if there is a nuclear disaster in Japan.
Dave Sweeney from the Australian Conservation Foundation says Australia has a direct moral responsibility for any nuclear fallout.

"Australian uranium is bought and burnt by this power company in Japan," he said.
"So there are direct links between the industry here and the industry in Japan, which is causing major problems with mass evacuations, with mass dislocation of communities, with a real threat of a grave contamination event.". . . (unquote)

Note the unseemly haste with which the Greens and their (temporary)
Leader hasten to get on the bandwaggon of human misery to push their ajenda
