Oh, and on permanent amnesty, the basis for objecting to it is that it weakens our protection against gun massacres.

We have some protection because of the only decent thing John Howard did in his political career. Up to us to nail it home.

Julian,

So you would not allow anyone to have a shotgun and a rifle, bit hard on aspiring Olympians.

What's your thoughts on Drillings, would you consider them to be two guns or just one?

You'd also make it hard for Olympians who want to shoot air rifle and air pistol events, as well as Australians who want to represent their country in other International events

Yes EJ, what about those people who need 300 or 400 guns to protect themselves, Issy believes there must be an allowance made for them.

On that permanent amnesty nonsense. Why should criminal gunnies be given special consideration. We could also have a permanent amnesty for murderers, they could just come forward and confess, without fear of prosecution. Could apply it to everyone in the criminal class, not just the criminal gunnies. Agree.

Yes Paul1405 I agree. And I'm glad to say practically all the rest of the 24 million Australians also agree. Olympians are a red herring - their clubs can keep the guns under lock and key. Non-lethal guns like air rifles are also a red herring as would be serving soldiers who the Yank NRA's Australian chapter haven't trotted out yet.

Julian,

"Non-lethal guns like air rifles are also a red herring"

Only an ignoramus would say that air rifles are non-lethal.
What about drillings, would they be one or two firearms under your "enlightened" ideas?

So, Paul, you disagree with the stated policy of the NSW Greens

"28. A permanent amnesty for the surrender of unauthorised firearms and strict penalties for those people found possessing unauthorised firearms;"

Brave of you, Lee Rhiannon will be after you!!

No Issy, that would be David Shoebridge. The Greens is a grass roots democratic party, and differing opinions are accommodated. unlike The Shooters and Hooters Party, where a party victim who displays the slightest hint of dissension is taken out at dawn and shot with his own gun.
