Issy, you have made that claim numerous times, on the countless number of gun happy discussions you have started.

Are you now back tracking, and agreeing with me that there are some gun nutters been given licences. I recall a degree of sympathy from you for the murderous licensed gun nutter Ian Turnbull. It was fortunate for the community Turnbull got 35 years jail for his crime. It was even more fortunate that the old bastard croaked in jail early on while doing that time.

Paul,

"Issy, you have made that claim numerous times, on the countless number of gun happy discussions you have started."

Shew me.

Dear Is Mise,

And as a consequence of you and your happy little gun fetish joining ranks with other happy little fetishers we now have looser gun laws and many more guns in our communities. What has followed is that mass shooting are starting to return. Sure the WA tragedy didn't strike at random people but that will come and it is more likely to occur at the hands of a licenced gun owner that not.

So far this year the US has lost more students and teachers to gun violence than serving military personnel. Let that little statistic settle in for a moment. This is what you want for this country.

Just move.

Steele,

Still shewing your ignorance, found the 1932 Pistol Licencing Act yet, or would you like me to do some research for you as you seem rather incapable?

There are more licenced gun holders today because of the Howard Gun Laws not in spite of them.

Be careful what you wish for, Is Mise. When the increased proliferation of guns in our society leads to another Port Arthur, the gun control laws they push through in response will make Little Johhny's look like they were written by the NRA.

If you don't want the Government to take your guns away, the best thing you can do is discourage their proliferation: more gun licences means more chance of some nutter getting his hands on one and then shooting up a cafe or whatever, and then they will take your guns away.

This isn't the US: you don't have a constitutional right to your guns, and the minute some idiot demonstrates that your mob can't be trusted with them they will crack down hard. The rational thing to do would be to try to reduce the likelihood of that occurring.

Toni did you mention some nutter, are you not familiar with Issy's mates, the licensed gun owners Wichita Willy and Buckshot Billy, a pair of straight shooters they be. Wow!
