How often do the Greens and those George Soros* inspired (and often Soros 'Open Society' supported) 'gun control' activists prove true that, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

It is their deliberate misuse of stats, such as where 'n' is a small number, inferring that any small change is very large, when it isn't at all. Of course there are the outright 'wobblies' as well to contend with. -When a Greens lips are moving it is only to be expected..

While the incidence of crimes using firearms was low and trending further downwards before and after the Soros-inspired 'gun control' regulations of wedge-politician John Howard, it is also a fact that concealable weapons, pistols, have become the weapon of choice of the criminal, drug-dealing gangs who are very largely responsible for firearms crime. That applies in the UK too, to take another example and is despite the more restrictive UK regulations where pistols are concerned.

That, succinctly put by independent analysts, is the real problem that Greens and other 'Progressives' (regressives) are embarrassed by and refuse to admit or apologise for of course, that, the growth in crime involving violence and concealable weapons is attributable to criminal gangs dealing in drugs.

Now it also happens that western governments has been stupid and uncaring enough to import migrants with cultures of violence, where violence is the first resort and life is cheap. That has been remarked upon by departing Commissioners of Police, in NSW for example.

The knee-jerk reaction of the international socialist 'Progressives' has been denial and efforts to ensure that the facts and their truths are buried. For instance, by banning collection of statistics relating to the ethnicity of offenders, which has even extended to censorship of essential identifying details of sought offenders in serious crimes such as rape.

Steele,

"Don't be a dingbat.

There is a vast difference between a car used by criminals in a getaway compared to a lethal weapon in their hands."

I won't.
If a criminal steals 'A' and uses it to kill, you say that the owner (victim of crime) is partly responsible; yet you also say that if a criminal steals 'B' and uses it to kill, then the owner (victim of crime) is in no way responsible. LOL!

Your example of a watered down law is pathetic.
I hold A,B,G and H licences and as such the police keep tabs on me, if I apply for a Permit to Acquire for an air gun, why should I have to wait 28 days for a police check to be done, when it is just a matter of FAR using their computer to find the status quo?

28 minutes would be a reasonable time or half an hour, just to round it off.

Why do you direct your ire at the law-abiding businessmen and gun owners?
Do you want to protect the criminals?

Funny that everytime the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party MsP want to change the law so that those who commit crimes with firearms are sentenced additionally for the firearm crime, the Greens and Labor oppose it.
Looking after their mates?

Most people are awake to the appalling antics and chronic blame-shifting of the Greens, especially NSW's Greens Eastern Bloc.

They are in denial about criminal gangs, drugs and violence and would conceal from public view the growing influence of ethnic criminal gangs and drug manufacturing and trafficking in patched bikie gangs.

Reportedly the ethnic takeover is by criminal gangs, many of whom can't even ride a motorcycle apparently. They are in it for the millions flowing from drugs and control of gang territory.

Why is it that one of the very first priorities of the Labor, Greens and other 'Progressive' (regressive) elements when Labor's Annastacia Palaszczuk became Premier in Qld was the immediate nobbling and destruction of the successful anti-bikie VLAD* laws? It has been the obsession of Palaszczuk government and AGAINST the advice of police, business and the wishes of the electorate, in the Gold Coast particularly.

*VLAD law -Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment Act 2013 is an act of the Parliament of Queensland, enacted to "severely punish members of criminal organisations that commit serious offenses". [Wiki}

"Most people are awake to the appalling antics and chronic blame-shifting of the Greens, especially NSW's Greens Eastern Bloc."

LeoW Most people are not aware of what is after all a figment of your imagination. Like the playground bully you try to invoke the notion of being right, usling that old "most people" agree with me myth. No doubt it gives you comfort, that sense of being within the large majority, while us poor little Greens are out in the cold, all on our lonesome. As a race hating Hansonite when have you been the majority? Care to provide evidence of that ridiculous claim!

Quite true, Paul, if most people were aware of the lying that the Greens do, especially their MsP, then they would get even fewer votes.

Gee Issy, and we were just starting to get on so well. And to think I was considering giving your Shooters and Hooters Party my 42nd preference at the next election. Its all off!
About that sign in Townyville . Who paid for it, which Mafia, how much, or did you have dosh left over from that big handout from the Yanky National Rifle Association.

p/s Can you get me Charlie Heston's autograph, and Al Copone's, for my collection? Sorry I forgot, Al's dead, not in a fit state to sign anything, Charlies will have to do, assuming he is still with us.
