I already did.

If you can't aim it, you can't own it.

Ah little Johnny, the vehicle for social comment from one gen to the next, thanks for that Lexi.

"I see no reason why I should be stopped from killing ferals" There is no reason why a mostly drunken mob of yobbos should not be let loose in our National Parks for a shooting frenzy. With a bit of luck they will bag so many two legged ferals that we want have to worry about them again. p/s There's a slab of VB in it for anyone who bags a stray "Pauline" running through the bush, you cant miss it, its bright orange an goes ey aww ey aww.

Thank you Paul for that intellectually minus contribution, still it's good to see a Green responding.

Bugsy,
Your answer is merely an opinion, just give me a reason why physically incapacitated people shouldn't be allowed to own a firearm.
What possible reason could there be for a quadraplegic person being denied ownership of a gun?

I really think that this policy of the Greens is discrimination on the grounds of physical handicap which is clearly contrary to the Anti Discrimination Acts

(quote)Disability Discrimination Act 1992

Physical, intellectual, psychiatric, sensory, neurological or learning disabilities; physical disfigurement; disorders, illness or diseases that affect thought processes, perceptions of reality, emotions or judgement, or results in disturbed behaviours; presence in body of organisms causing disease or illness (eg HIV virus).

Good Morning SOG,

I'm glad that you enjoyed the joke and saw it in the way it was intended. Now to get a bit more serious. More research needs to be done to document the contribution brought to Australia by migrants. Migrants have joined in the rebuilding of Australia's capital structures that have served the nation for many decades. Their economic contribution was significant at times when Australia needed it most - they helped to solve acute labour shortages, especially in outlying areas. They helped relieve the shortage of domestic staff in hospitals, increased the output of building material, helped build Australian homes, saved fruit and sugar crops, maintained railways, worked in sawmills, brick factories, cement works, on sewerage projects, water conservation, salt and brown coal mining, clearing land, quarrying, et cetera. Many newcomers established building companies, new factories, retail shops, service and repair centres, many became self-employed in small business and in all kinds of professions and trades. They also created secondary jobs, with their high levels of demand for goods and services. Most became Australian citizens and have proven to be loyal members of the Australian society - fighting with Australian forces in Korea and Vietnam. Many have since been honoured with Australian and British decorations and have shown a great love and attachment to their newfound home. Australia has benefited because the migrants solved its acute labour shortages in key areas, and the migrants benefited as well by being assured of jobs and having an opportunity to settle in a new country. Blaming migrants for a complexity of problems is difficult to sustain and an oversimplification. But enough said - it's only when one examines the full scope of the problems that one begins to understand that challenges that lie ahead in solving them.

Is Mise, have they said that quadraplegics cannot own a firearm?

Just because you say that there are no physical disabilities you can think of that would render a person unsuitable for firearms ownership (as opposed to firearms use), does not mean that there aren't any. That is why the section is there, legislation should be in neutral language. It does not appear to preclude quadraplegics specifically, but it shouldn't not preclude any disability specifically.

In fact it does not even say 'disability', that's your words. In fact all this conjecture is merely your own interpretation, and therefore 'your opinion'.
