Is Mise,

Re your silly comment about cars (this thread or another)...which aren't manufactured for the sole purpose of killing or maiming - unlike guns.

These guys were sitting in a car...

"The authorities said the men, ages 27 to 29, came under attack Tuesday evening, as one of them was streaming live video of the group hanging out in a car.

Less than six minutes into the broadcast, as the men smoke and listen to the hip-hop of Lil Bibby, gunfire erupts, sending the camera to the floor. With the lens now pointed away from the men, more than 30 pops can be heard over the span of a gut-wrenching 20 seconds."

Etc...

Although, the angst appears to be these days that victims are able to live stream video of the incredible debauchery of US gun laws inflicted on the general population.

It's titled: "Another Night, Another Shooting on Facebook Live"

Great stuff, eh!

Paul,

Your stupid Green law would make it an offence to USE a firearm for self defence;it takes no cognizance of the purpose for which one has a licence.

You cannot logically defend Principle 7, but do have a try.

Poirot,

How is that different to a drive by shooting in Sydney?

Is Mise,

"How is that different to a drive by shooting in Sydney?"

Um....well...one assumes that drive-by shootings in Sydney are a tad less prevalent.

And why would you employ that question to defend your stance?

You can't commit a drive-by shooting if you don't have access to gun...drive-by stabbings being somewhat more difficult.

Hi Paul,

Yes, I replied yesterday at 9.50 (see above).

I could add one incident: I was driving my kids to Red Cross training in Berri, driving through a cutting in the road out from the Mission; an Easter Grey kangaroo started coming down the incline, I braked, but it swerved and slammed into the car. It limped away and early the next morning, I told Jimmy James, thinking - 'Caring for Country,', etc. - that he would track it to see if it was okay. He tracked it all right, and shot it. Ate its tail.

I used to drink with Lily's brother David, but he was killed in a roll-over on the Sturt Highway near Berri Estates winery in about May 1973. Nice bloke.

Joe

Thanks Joe, I missed that post yesterday, went back and read it now thanks again.
