Is Mise, the good folk of NSW and Australia can judge for themselves. On one side there is the fair and reasonable anti-gun lobby, people like David Shoebridge, and then there is the grubs on the other side, the gun happy Rambo's, like Bob Ballsup and Slob Bob from the Shooters and Hooters Party. What side are you on, as if I don't know!

I take it from your silence you condone the actions of the 'Great White Hunter' Walter 'Wacko' Palmer and others. Nor can you justify shooting as a sport. How can it be a "sport" when you get out there with your high powered blaster, with its telescopic sight, Blind Freddie couldn't miss, get some poor unsuspecting animal in your cross-hairs and pull the trigger, Slob Bob's your uncle. Dead or suffering animal is the result, I ask again, how is that a "SPORT"?

Would it not be a sport if you got, say 13 great white hunters on one side, armed with their AK47's, and 13 on the other side armed with M16's, and the ref fires off the Howitzer, not that there is any rules with these Rambo's, and the winner is the team with the last man standing. Now that would be a sport, a real contest. there is no contest in shooting poor defenseless animals. It would be a bit like that paintball, but with live ammunition, now there's a contest. Is Mise can I count on you to captain one side?

Paul,

"....but with live ammunition, now there's a contest. Is Mise can I count on you to captain one side?"

Been there, done that.

How many at the rally?

Why the Adler?

//Why the Adler?//

Why indeed, Is Mise? You've stated repeatedly that the Adler is no different to other lever-action shotguns. So why is everybody apparently so keen to get their hands on an Adler, not one of the other shotguns which you tell us do exactly the same thing? What is so special and unique about the Adler that only it will do, rather than one of the other equally well functioning lever action shotguns which are already on the market? If they're just as good, why wouldn't gun-bunnies just buy one of those instead of making such a big song and dance about one particular shotgun? Are you sure the Adler doesn't have some sort of 'advantage' over other shotguns?

Toni,

Only advantage is that it's slightly lighter, the question is why are the antis making all the song and dance?
The Greens and the three members of Gun Control Australia started the gyrations of the rather silly dance, it's their dance and it is they who keep on attacking law abiding citizens.

A weapon for sportsmen who don't like to exert themselves too much. I can dig it. But why even go to the trouble of travelling all the way to the nearest shooting range and picking up a gun in the first place? Why not just stay home and watch televised shooting events? That'd save even more exertion.

One of the biggest jokes in New South Wales is "getting a gun licence". The so called exam is often conducted in gun shops at night, by shop proprietors or employees who have a vested interest in all and sundry passing, and getting a licence. Even the wackos who turn up for the "test" in sudo-army outfits, the fatigues, looking a lot like John Rambo, and talking like a neanderthal, are often given the answers to ensure they pass, probably no one ever fails.
