On continued note:
-Matches- may instigate a small fire if exposed to a flammable surface for enough time, which may gradually grow so long as continuous supply of flammable substances are ignited and nobody does anything about it.

To say that a psychopath holds the destructive power with a lit match and some wood to throw it to rivals a car that can kill a person at even 50km in some circumstances, but can achieve much higher speeds, at merely the motion of the foot or turning the wheel, and under low concentration by ACCIDENT: or a gun which can kill someone at any distances by merely aiming and squeezing the trigger?

My stance is simple- any item, substance or device that
1- has capacity to kill or cause a large fire in less than a couple of minutes (or even seconds)
2- exists outside the most basic living necessities that our constitution deems acceptable
-SHOULD be banned from people with a psychological problem.

Beyond eyesight problems, a physical problem should not impede firearm ownership unless it can pose a risk of an accidental or unintended death of an innocent;
For driving, it is an acceptable restriction.

Don't be cryptic, Bugsy, us lesser folk have trouble following.

Just tell me why physically handicapped people shouldn't own guns.
I honestly cannot see any reason and I think that the Greens are being discriminatory with their stance on this . They are also against hunting which is clearly a racist stance.

Pauline has been accused of racism but she has never been racist and would never be as racist as the Greens.

Pauline's never been racist? Really? So, we're not "in danger of being swamped by Asians?" And the reason she came back from Britain was not because it was "full of immigrants and refugees." And Europe is not "full of foreigners?" Oh, that's right - these statements aren't racists comments - they're merely "criticisms." Right.

Lexi:>> Pauline Hanson's comment, " I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians," Many believe that the only vacuum she possesses is the one between her ears.<<

If you believe Pauline Hanson is vacuous, just say it, as opposed to "many believe".

What this vacuous woman is alluding to is the fact that Australia has near enough doubled its population in a generation, a person born in the eighties with a couple of kids right now have twice as many bodies surrounding them compared to the day they were born. The ABS identifies the growth of the past 35 years in this manner:

"The majority of the growth, 66 per cent, was due to overseas migration, with the remainder due to there being more births than deaths."

In a nutshell for you Lexi 7 out of 10 of the people who doubled the population were not born here. A recent UN report states our population growth is over double the world average.

The Liberal government that was in office during this period did have the power, but not the foresight to direct that a portion of Federal taxes paid to the States should be spent on infrastructure and housing. So we have a situation in Sydney and Melbourne where the populations have more than trebled during this period but the infrastructure is as it was thirty years ago to a major extent.

Why are the Aussies who were here before 1980 unhappy with immigration? Just one example, a standard house in a crappy Sydney suburb that cost $36k in the 1980’s now costs $400k. The working class man who took home $250 a week in 1980 now brings home $600, wages have risen by 200% but house prices have risen by 1300%. What chance of home ownership for the working man, none.

As I said in my post on this subject Hanson mirrored middle Australia and it scared the bejesuss out of the two parties. Hanson is no lawyer but she has substance and most importantly an ear to the electorate and not minority or focus groups.

Just off the subject for a moment, does anyone see shades of Paul Keating in Bob Browns demeanor and media persona? I see Bob as I did Keating, a perfect candidate for a grim reaper for an aids campaign. He looks dead, not just brain dead but mortician dead. Can the dead own guns?
