My arithmetic: 11 thousand gun murders a year (as if the outcome for human beings was any different from other Yanks shot dead) is 30 a day, not 300. The overall gun death figure on a daily basis remains 80.

Issy, which gun do you believe is the safest to be shot dead with?

"Electromagnetic Railgun - Shoots 100 miles - Mach 7" have you ordered yours from the Sears and Roebuck yet, they can have it to you in Dodge City on the first available stage.

Paul,

The point is, what is the Government going to do to stop the making and use of electromagnetic guns; what are the Greens and Gun Control Australia's three members going to do?

I see a problem.

Issy. it is a huge battle to defeat the powerful gun lobby, who are well organized, cashed up and determined to get their own way, at the expense of all others.
Gun control is not a battle we can afford to lose, just look at America to see the results of such a loss; massacres, thousands killed annually, with gun carnage common place. Australia wants none of that, and our politicians are going to have to grasp the nettle whenever a new challenge presents itself. these electromagnetic guns are just another such challenge.

Gun control might have 3 members, but they have 24 million supporters. How much support does the gun mob have in Australia? Judging by election results I would say about 2%.

Paul,

The problem with electromagnetic guns is that there does not appear to be any way to control their manufacture.

The small ones shewn in the videos are, despite the makers claims to the contrary, capable of killing, especially the full auto one; any thing that can throw a projectile capable of the penetration shewn could kill.

I wouldn't like to see these types of weapons hit the streets.

STOP PRESS!!

John Howard admits failure of his gun laws.

Howard warns voters not to support the SF&F Party in a frank admission that his vaunted laws have failed.

The Father of the Australian gun lobby disowns his child.
