"A farmer whose property had been at the centre of an illegal land-clearing dispute has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting dead an environment officer.

Ian Robert Turnbull, 79, is accused of killing 51-year-old NSW Environment Department compliance and regulation officer Glen Turner at Croppa Creek, 55 kilometres north of Moree in northern New South Wales."

Never mind the history lessons, Paul, how many were at the rally?

New acronym for the use of OLO posters
"JATQP"

//Never mind the history lessons, Paul, how many were at the rally?//

Is that what determines the strength of somebody's argument, Is Mise? The size of the crowd they can drum up for their rally? Because I seem to recall there being some fairly large crowds at the Nuremberg rallies...

"When you see that feathered friend better get out of the way,
especially if they're packing a piece better arm yourself today.
It's us or them have to stop them in their tracks,
Always keep watching your back.

It's time to kill not a time to die so load your weapons now,
There's a dark cloud on the skyline better shoot those suckers down.
They're out to get you, you'd better be first.
Give them what they deserve.

Guns don't kill ducklings, ducklings kill ducklings
Stop them all they will destroy our whole society,
Guns don't kill ducklings, ducklings kill ducklings
they're the biggest threat to your masculinity."
- Frenzal Rhomb

onthebeach,Is Mise,o sung wu,

Being embedded with the US 173rd Airborne and operating as Long Range Recon these
weapons were modified and supplied by their base armorers and were a blessing especially when
fitted with a custom suppressor that sounded like popping a coke can.
no flash, limited sound and dead accurate to 750+ yards = perfect
It came with a 5 or 20 round mag.
I found for the work I did the 5 shot box was more practical.

Thanks for that Toni.

Is Mise, I answered your question previously. I said there were lots, some others put the number at lots and lots, but I believe the number was only lots! But two people who were there, Mary Cusumano who's husband Angelo was murdered by a person with a gun, as was Alpha Cheng father Curtis. I don't much care, nor do they, whether their loved ones were murdered by a legal or illegal gun, the fact remains their lives were taken forever, and if the anti-gun campaign saves but just one life, its worth it.
I'm sure its not easy for Mary and Alpha to front up and speak about these things, they are not professional politicians, just ordinary people who lives have been altered forever because of the actions of a person with a gun.
You hold a particular view on the subject, as do I, but for me as a pacifists, and I hope for you and all others, a gun never alters our lives in the way it has impacted on those two people.

I think Glen Turner's life and the way it was taken prematurely is a bit more than history.

So the rally was a flop, but here's another few questions; you said that the gun owners gate crashed the rally.

How does one gate crash a public meeting?

Or was that just a bit of emotive hyperbole to get the unthinking on side?

What makes the Adler shotgun so different to other shotguns that it required a public meeting about it?

No need for technical details just a general overview will do.
