Is Mise you did say that, but what is YOUR opinion. Are you pointing out a weakness in Greens policy. In my opinion some of the Greens policy is a bit soft in the application of gun licences.
Consider for example the licencing of private security people to carry a gun. I'm not entirely satisfied that proper training of such persons is always the case. I think the Greens policy does not stress the need for adequate training enough. The Greens policy is far superior to that offered by the likes of the Shooters and Hooters or the laughable nonsense from Pauline Hanson on gun policy.

Bazz, some may not make that clear distinction between ones life, and ones property. Can you, or anyone, guarantee that arming society for self protection will always result in the use of guns only for that purpose and no other. Can you or anyone guarantee that mistakes will not be made and innocent people will die as a consequence. When such a iron clad guarantee is forthcoming then and only then will I consider agreeing to "arming the populace!"

Paul,

What does
"7.That personal protection should never be regarded as a genuine reason for owning, possessing or using a firearm".
mean?
Please enlighten us all.

Is Mise, it seems clear and unequivocal to me.

It means; That personal protection should never be regarded as a genuine reason for owning, possessing or using a firearm". Do you have a problem with the English language? Now if it was written in Swahili, I could understand your problem,...but

Paul,

I understand it perfectly and I now understand that you and the rest of the Greens would deny a farmer the right to use a firearm when attacked by a scrub bull, a wild dog or a feral pig.

Par for the course, but why do you have such a callous disregard for the lives of fellow humans?

I think that no7 is stupid and was ill thought out,

Foxy,

You haven't said yet why you think that leaving a farmer's wife with no means of protection against a wild dog is OK?

Paul, I am against the licensing of firearms to people living in
cities, towns etc but farmers are in a totally different situation.
Farmers should be able to carry their guns in their vehicles at all
times as they never know when wild dogs will appear.
It should be possible to have secure arrangements in their vehicles
for when they drive into town.

The greens can get no where until they either abandon their opposition
to nuclear power or they accept that solar & wind cannot do the job.
If solar & wind is adopted as a fixed policy we will have to abandon
all buildings over 3 stories.

Dear Is Mise,

I never said that.

You're not interested in what I did say.
Therefore I see no point in any further discussion.

Have a nice day.
