Paul,

"How about the way gunnies give advice to those with AVO'S, I did put up some quotes you did not respond."

You gave no references, and gun clubs or anyone else's advice on AVOs cannot alter the Firearms Acts or the Regulations thereunder.

"That wild west mob you posted, well they are a screw loose and they hold gun licences."

That is only your biased opinion.

All would do well to remember that an AVO is an Apprehended Violence Order, it does not mean that the person against whom it is directed has necessarily been violent, it means that there is an apprehension of violence.
I know men who have been extremely violent in the past and they have firearms licences and no one has ever objected.

I should add to the above, that some of these men will possibly be extremely violent in the future.

Nice of you Issy to admit that there are more possible Ian Turners, Peter Miles and John Edwards out there in gun happy land. Are these ticking time bombs members of your gun club?

You have moved somewhat from your previous claim, that all gun licence holders are honest law abiding citizens. Now there is an admission by you that there are more nutters in the ranks.

Bollocks. I'm definitely of the opinion that those jokers are on a spectrum of some sort.

How many opinions are required before it stops being only the biased opinions of a few malcontents, and starts being common wisdom?

I reckon it's probably fewer than you think. I suspect that I'm not alone in my view that the people who go in for that sort of thing are a cut above your regular or garden variety of weirdo.

Paul,

I am speaking about the men of violence who killed that you might enjoy the freedoms which you currently enjoy; the Diggers of WWII are getting on but some of them are still keen shooters.

These were men of extreme violence who killed other men, but have never killed again and are trusted members of their communities.

The same goes for those who fought in other wars, up 'till the present day.

Some of our younger veterans may well be called to action again and undoubtedly will kill again if necessary.

Toni,

Would you disarm all the other folk who dress up as re-enactors?

Take away their weapons?

Spoilsport!!
