PAUL,

"Sidestepping there Issy, given a change to the law on self protection, would the majority be given a licence?"

That would depend on the changes to the law and the requirements thereunder.

Now Issy you are being coy. Obviously I'm referring to what changes to the gun laws you support to allow for self defence. With the real objective of the Shooters and Hooters Party the abolition of ALL gun laws, then as a founding member its something you are duty bound to support.
Guns in primary schools, guns even in babies bassinets, old fogies with guns, the list goes on, would be the norm under a gunnie regime. No need to answer the question, its obvious EVERYONE!

Latest news; "Police are searching for a shooter on Queensland's Gold Coast after a man was shot in the arm on a hotel balcony from a neighbouring apartment."

"A 24-year-old man who allegedly shot a couple in a terrifying suburban confrontation on a Brisbane street has been charged with weapons offences."

This is the kind of Dodge City stuff YOU support.

This morning's news, two men in their 70,s fought of a man seemingly under the influence of some thing
He was trying to take a van after attempting to take several cars
Weapon they used?to fight him off? coffee mug!

Paul,

"With the real objective of the Shooters and Hooters Party the abolition of ALL gun laws,"

More Greens lies, kindly give a reference.

I'll ask you what I asked Belly when have I ever advocated the arming of everyone?

Give a reference to that if you can.

ise mise you have not to my knowledge but be honest you do seem to call for a lesser gun laws than we have
Old mate you too seem fixated on the elderly being armed but are you sure that is even near a good idea
We would have about ten needless deaths a year
Old dear near here took her neighbor to court for AVO, true, and won, because the branches in a tree he had frightened her in the wind at night,true
She may have killed him or the tree if she had a gun

Belly,

"ise mise you have not to my knowledge but be honest you do seem to call for a lesser gun laws than we have

I often call for more logical and fairer gun laws but that does not mean weaker laws and I'm not fixated on the elderly being armed but on a more level playing field where people, elderly or not, are allowed at least non-lethal means of self-defence.

As it is it's all the criminals way.
