Lexi,

So once again you can find no evidence whatsoever to back up your sledging of the thousands of respectable citizens who are lawful, licensed owners in Australia?

No surprise there. None at all.

These are people who proved themselves to be of excellent character to obtain a licence in the first place and have an enviable record for continuing to obey all laws. It is a condition of their licence, but they would obey all laws anyhow.

Hundreds of words of disjointed bunk later and still no admission from you that you are wrong and of course, no apology.

One thing we can be assured of is that the people who hold firearms licences in Australia are proved to very stable people of high character who consistently do not put a step wrong. They are good peaceful citizens.

These respectable folk must wonder if their trenchant critics such as yourself who constantly excuse criminal behaviour, offering such weak indensible excuses that society made them do it, have always had good regard for the law themselves. Well, do you and what evidence can you supply that you are a good trustworthy neighbour for those who live around you?

Lexi, you are one patient lady, nicely explaining your obviously well informed views to such an aggressive writer as Onthebeach!

I would imagine that someone who has lived for years in the US, like you have, would be much better placed to have correct views on the gun laws and life in that country than a local gun-lover like him.

Onthebeach "One thing we can be assured of is that the people who hold firearms licences in Australia are proved to very stable people of high character who consistently do not put a step wrong. They are good peaceful citizens."
Is that right? That's a rather sweeping statement isn't it?
Where's your proof?

All the murders/suicides that seem to occur in a domestic/family situation usually involve their own guns don't they?

If they have a good old gun right there available when they are particularly annoyed with a friend or relative, it is so easy to just reach for that quick solution isn't it?

Unless you are in the military, a law enforcement officer, or a farmer, you don't need a gun....unless you like being aggressive and killing other humans or animals.

Luckily, we have jails for these sorts of people, where they can't take their guns.

OTB,

Be a good chap and go find someone else to annoy.
I'm no longer interested.

Dear Suse,

Thank You so much.

Patience is something we both know quite a bit
about. For us it comes with the territory.

LOL. As OLO's most hysterical hoplophobe, your emotional outbursts are easily mocked.

Because despite all of the posts you have made sledging legal gun ownership (and never criticing criminals and their illegal guns!) you have obviously never acquainted yourself with the laws. I'd bet London to a brick you have never had even had a cursory look at the laws. You wouldn't want any facts challenging that shock, horror prejudice you hold so dearly.

Dear, you asked for proof. Is it impossible to obtain or continue to hold a firearms licence if you commit a crime. How about that for proof!

You have heard of people without criminal records I trust? Well, you have to be one of those people to even get within cooee of getting a firearms licence.

However the criminals you, Lexi and the Greens are soft on and don't criticise would never get a licence anyhow and they certainly would never get their guns from a legal source or register them. They get their gansta guns freshly imported, no questions asked. How about that? Did you think that a criminal would be concerned about breaking a few more laws to go about his trade? Hell no!

Dear Suse,

You're being baited.

Don't fall for it.

Simply ignore.

Not to worry Lexi, I am bored of his tactics already!
And I note I'm not alone...

See you for fun times on another thread.

Cheers,
Suse.
