Paul,

Lee will still be after you!!

"The Greens is a grass roots democratic party, and differing opinions are accommodated."

Pull the other leg, Rhiannon is on the outer with her fellow travellers in the Federal Parliament because she had a different opinion to the rest of them.

No idea what a "drilling" is but if it will shoot you dead, while you are wearing clothes, at 6 ft or more at the touch of a trigger it's a gun. My word you Yank NRA propagandists are persistent with your ducking and weaving. Lucky we Australians aren't as soft in the head as the Yanks and when we see danger from Leyonhjelm and other gun freaks, hobgoblins and monsters we'll punish them at the ballot box.

I understand the Japanese government has something to teach us about muzzling the gunnies.

Julian,

You have no idea what a drilling is?

Well, as you appear to be too stupid or too lazy to use Google, I'll tell you; it's usually a two or three barrel firearm which is a shot gun in one or two barrels and the other a high power rifle, essentially two guns in one.
So how would it fare under "Julian rules"?

How you going on those "non-lethal" air rifles, do you want me to put you right on them as well?

I don't mind, as shewing your ignorance is OK by me.

Julian,

Have you found those "non-lethal" air rifles yet?
--
"The Mordialloc-Chelsea Leader reported, beside tales of stolen purses and the like, that three men with iron bars “attempted to hijack” a late-model Commodore in a Bonbeach reserve on Sunday evening, June 4.

“One man opened the driver’s door while the others bashed the car but … they fled after one of the passengers challenged them,”

Now isn't that strange, what would make criminals armed with iron bars flee?
I wonder what was in the car that frightened them?

Maybe a woman with a "non-lethal" air rifle?

Julian,

Where did you get your figure of 33,000 shot dead in the USA each year, the most that I can come up with is 15,060 for 2016?
This year is shaping up much the same

see:http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/past-tolls

and that's from a reliable site.

That shews the US firearms death rate at 2.13 per 100,000, which is low by world rates, so why do you quote the USofA all the time??

EJ, get it right, the Yanks have nothing to worry about, if only 15,000 are shot dead each year, now if it was 33,000 they would be most upset. Issy in your opinion at what number of gun deaths pa should they Yanks start worrying,the same for Australia?

Issy, you seem to think gunnies are the experts on guns, so therefore they are the best people to formulate (no) gun laws. is that the case?
