The only dangerous scrub bull we have is you and those ridiculous Shooter and Hooters, along with a gaggle pf crazy mad old men from the SS, trying to relive the "glory" day of the Boer War or something. The irony that shows how stupid 'Gunnies' are is the thing they are most likely to shoot first and foremost is themselves! The fools don't even know which end the bullet comes out of! And you want to arm the rest of society, over your dead body!

Here is a link where David Shoebridge debates that other talking head and well known knuckle gragger from from the Shooters and Hooters Party Fat Bob Two, another one of the shooters total morons they have speak (more like grunts) for them.

This David Shoebridge?

"DAVID Shoebridge has effectively given criminal gangs a list of hotspot towns to target and done nothing to prevent the real problem which is illegal firearms being manufactured or imported illegally into the country"

From the Greens Party who along with Labor's Palaszczuk are scuttling the successful Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act (VLAD) that was supported by the High Court of Australia?

Law-abiding people with licences owning registered firearms are not the problem and never were.

However, it is precisely these thousands of reputable, responsible good citizens who can be relied upon to always do the right thing that YOUR NSW 'Watermelon' Greens are so offended by and wilfully slander, deliberately conflating them and their legal firearms with the offending SOBs (and their illegal guns) that YOUR Greens so avidly protect the 'rights' of.

Why would the Greens slag honest, respectable people and deny them their rights to lawful ownership, recreation and sports, while at the same time the Greens and Labor are falling over their own feet to trash the effective Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act (VLAD), that sent criminal gangs packing from Queensland? It isn't just outlaw motorcycle gangs and their violence. What about the feared Russian Mafia in Queensland and the likelihood of dangerous South American gangs moving into profitable Australia?

The opposition of the Greens and Labor's Ms Palaszczuk to the VLAD laws doesn't make sense does it?

BTW,

1) Why is 'gun control' so secret squirrel about their membership, sources of funds and contacts? What have they got to hide?

2) What relevant academic qualifications does have?

3) Taking (say) the time Professor Alpers has been with the University of Sydney, where and when has he published his research in journals of stature and what was the result of the peer review?

2) What relevant academic qualifications does Professor Alpers, University of NSW, have?

Paul,

There aren't scrub bulls in Sydney but believe me they exist in the bush and they have no fear of anything, least of all man.

So do you not believe that a farmer, on his own property, should be allowed to take his rifle with him to protect himself in case of an attack by a scrub bull?

Feral pigs are known to attack, their tusks causing deep gouges to the bone.

Damage to stock and assets would be in the hundreds of millions a year.

Add to that the range of diseases carried by them. FMD and other diseases and pests are imported by ethnics who seem to believe it is fair game to deceive Customs with their present food parcels from their home country, eg home made salami. Or as a consequence of the limited inspections of imported goods. None of that registers with the Greens of course.

Farmers on their off-road agricultural bikes often disturb feral pigs. Regrettably, the Howard-inspired 'gun control' regulations require farmers to return to their homestead safe, usually well away over rough ground, to unlock firearm then ammunition. By then the ferals are well away. How do you get any work done though?

It is impossible to traverse scrub with a rifle slung over the shoulder. How to mount on bike without similar dangerous snagging and damage? Not possible. It makes sense for the duly licensed farmer to carry a pistol, but that is becoming almost impossible to have approved.

The problem is ignorant bureaucrat lawyers in their air conditioned iron lungs in Canberra, who advise policy, putting their opinions into it and who see no need to consult with the public and stakeholders either.

There is recent proof from FOI requests that senior bureaucrats in A-Gs do not regard reading invited submissions and comment from public stakeholders as a worthwhile use of their time, so they didn't bother! What utter gall!

You pair of scrub bulls have proven to be such easy targets, sitting ducks in fact, more often than not shooting yourselves in the foot, when it comes to debating the facts. Every volley you fired missed its target, and now you are out of ammunition. So all I can say is I'll offer you a final cigarette, a blindfold and a last word and then it will be time for you two fine gentlemen to face the firing squad at dawn, figuratively speaking that is. Any last requests?
