Paul,

I favour law abiding citizens being able to defend their lives against unlawful attack.

Obviously you and the Greens don't.

Paul,

Interesting link to Alpers; but the question is, what are his academic qualifications?

Paul1405,

In this thread and others you have continually prevaricated about any links between the Greens, the NSW 'Watermelon' Greens especially and 'gun control' and that includes the content of Greens speeches, 'policy' (such as it is) and press releases.

You now have the hide to assert as true what you have previously denied!

Regarding Samantha Lee, I notice (from the Googling you suggest) that the prestigious, public and audited SSAA Victoria, an association recognised under the firearms regulations of Victoria and all Australian jurisdictions, has been forced to release a video to defend the reputations of its members from misinformation and alleged slanderous attack,

Now, what about Professor Alpers' qualifications? Why would the Greens be ducking for cover when he is the expert they (and the ABC!) are forever quoting and not perceiving the need for another view for balance?

Paul,

As you are shy when it comes to references, here's one for Alpers:

Seems that he has far less qualifications than I do.
Maybe I could become an Adjunct Professor as I'm a recognized expert in the field of firearms, by the High Court of Australia no less.

Wonder who is funding him?

Dear Paul,

Here's what I've found on the man:
