Steele,

"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"

We have looser gun laws do we?

Please give an example or two, or would that need some research on your part?
It's easy to make allegations but harder to have the mental ability to back them up.

There are more licenced firearms owners because the laws are working, the recent amnesty is an example of that; why aren't you happy?

Issy clearly demonstrates the hypocritical approach the pro gun lobby in Australia takes towards effective gun control. Outwardly claiming to be supportive of control measures, but always adding the over-rider that they will oppose laws that in their opinion are dumb silly nonsense. This approach gives the pro gun mob an outward air of being a respectable conciliatory bunch always ready to cooperate to make for a safer community. Nothing could be further from the truth, their real agenda of a totally gun toting society with little or no restrictions is clear for all to see. Their ideal is the American model where unrestricted gun control is an everyday part of life. The outcome of such a model for Australia is clear, more shootings, more Port Arthur's, more of what has just taken place at Margaret River. All this to satisfy vested interests, and the perverse pleasure on small minority who have a fetish with their big boys toys...guns!

Paul,

Silly accusations with no proof what so ever.

You allege that the US NRA interferes in Australian politics and funds the Australian gun lobby, yet so far you have dodged the questions (as usual) and have offered no proof.

Why can't you offer proof?

Hot air ain't proof.

I'd just like to add that the Greens support criminal elements in Australia to the detriment of law and order and the safety of the citizens.
