Paul1405,

Just more of your deflections and red herrings.

How are you going with that Google search of the Greens' site for activists connected with 'gun control'? Have the Greens knobs been keeping something from you? It seems they could be. LOL

What about this outstanding question among many that you keep on ducking? This one,

"BTW, what exactly are the academic qualifications of that anti-gun (well, anti respectable licensed citizens having guns) 'Professor Alpers' that 'gun control', Greens and the ABC(!) rely on and prefer for his expert opinions? And are there any criticisms of his reports? This time you might Google. Just another detail the 'Watermelon' knobs are keeping 'on the QT', 'very hush, hush' and 'not to be said'?"

Paul,

"p/s The Shooters and Hooters Party declared their biggest donor to be the innocuous 'Hunter District Hunting Club' who coughed up $31,313.00 in 2014/15/ A rather financially flushed organisation, to be able to throw in $30k of members money."

That the best that you can do?

What about your allegations about the NRA?

The 'best'(sic) the Greens do is to cynically conflate the offenders and their illegal guns and crimes - the criminals THEY support and protect by shafting the successful VLAD law, for instance - with the law-abiding licensed citizens and their lawful pursuits, sport, recreation and work.

The reason why 'gun control' activists and the shabby headline hunting 'Protest Party' the Greens never exhibit any knowledge of the existing firearms regulations is because they are NOT interested in effective regulation to deter and collar criminals at all. Why bone up on effective regulation if you just want to ban?

'Gun control's' sole goal is to steal back the lawfully purchased and legally held firearms of the ordinary citizens in Western democracies.

'Gun control' is bans, State seizures and confiscations of the legally acquired, held and used assets of ordinary citizens who have already been certified by police as being of excellent character and crime free. The very citizens who are reliably and staunchly opposed to crime in fact.

The actions of 'gun control' by government are well demonstrated by the heavy handed illegal, without Warrant, confiscations after Hurricane Katrina (US), exclusively from ordinary licensed citizens (government has records of their ownership). Ordinary citizens were threatened with loaded assault weapons in the process. But the ferals, the criminals, kept their illegal guns.

It is timely to remind political parties who throw their weight around like the totalitarian Greens who are forever going on about the 'Big State' where the State is the sole repository of authority and power (and should have exclusive ownership of firearms) that the government is NOT the State. The State is the people.

Australia is not to become the Greens Trotskyists, the 'Watermelon Greens' version of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and it never will be.

On the Uniform National Gun Laws.

In Western Australia it is an offence to possess a single piece of inert brass i.e. a fired cartridge case, in all the other States one can have fired brass, it just doesn't matter; no one cares.

Now is that a sensible law?

NSW farmer Ian Turnbull found guilty of shooting murder of environment officer Glen Turner.
This murderer held a gun Licence, Beach was Ian Turnbull one of your "respectable licensed citizens (having guns)".The outcome in this trial seems to give the lie to your claim, obviously not all are so "respectable".

Thanks AC, we know where the dosh comes from to finance the un-democratic non-liberal Leyonhjelm. Fortunately come 2nd July Leyonhjelm will be politically no more.

Paul,

Back in the days before Howard's laws
'....to make Australia a safer place", people in risky jobs were allowed to carry a pistol for self defence, had the do-gooders not been allowed to force their myopic views on society Turnbull (not the PM!) might be the one that is dead.
