Paul,

"Issy, if Tim Fisher is the co-founder of the Australian Gun Lobby then I take it, such a person is pro-gun, rather than anti-gun..."

There was no such thing as an Australian Gun Lobby until John "Flack Jacket" Howard fathered it, I could hardly call Tim the 'co-father' and Tim was pro-gun but just gutless and afraid to stand up to Howard.

"...Mr Fisher is an elder statesman of Australian politics and his word is beyond question."

How naive can you get?

How are you going on the evidence quest?

Ten days of blather about a foreign organisation in a foreign country. There are no parallels with U.S gun nonsense in Australia, because Australians are too pathetic to stand up for themselves. What John Howard was allowed to get away with following the one-off shooting event in Tasmania wouldn't have happened in a country where the citizenry had a backbone. Australians would have to be the wettest, most gutless bunch of people in the world when it comes to standing up to political thugs. We even meekly accepted the wearing of a silly looking helmet if we wanted to ride a bike. But, you just go on chuntering about things you have no control over to cover the fact that you are too frightened to stand up to the evil bastards ruining your own country and treating you like the idiots you are.

ttbn,

What do you think that Australians should have done?

Armed insurrection?

Australian gun owners chose the path of being law-abiding and politically active, that's why Australia is the only country that has a political party devoted to firearm owners' rights with elected Members of Parliaments.

"Australian gun owners chose the path of being law-abiding" Here is a list of some of those law abiding gun owners;

Martin Bryant
Ivan Milat
Ian Turnbull

Will you deny these people did not own a gun?
Will you claim they were law abiding?

Paul,

Don't be so stupidly desperate!

Why don't you be a good chap and go and find some evidence for your wild assertions that the US NRA meddle in Australian politics?
