Dear mhaze,

You write;

"Oh BTW, did I mention that historically, as the number of guns increases, the number of homicides decreases."

And then claim;

"The data I posted was about the USA over time (1994 to 2014) not about comparing countries in one period."

Mate I don't know about you but I am an Australian and identify as such. I know Americans think they are the centre of the universe but if you want to make broad brush statements on an Australian site with the assumption people will assume it American you had better think again.

So are you going to give us a source for the assertion you have foisted on us or are you afraid it will get picked to pieces like the last couple of offerings you have dished up?

Paul,

Reference please.

Issy, its all in the YouTube, if you care to watch. The Shooters and Hooters Party cannot be trusted with gun laws. These people are known to say one thing for public consumption, but when given half a chance they are right in there white-anting our very moderate gun laws. In 2011 chief political gunnie in NSW, Bob Ballsup, told the SMH in an interview, Australia needed an American style organisation like the NRA, yet their political website claims not to support American style gun laws. What is it to be, an American style organisation which we have, its called the SSAA, but no American style gun laws? As I said the Shooters Party cannot be trusted!

Paul,

You apparently can't understand plain English.

Tell us one gun law that has been weakened?

I've said that I support our gun laws and the majority of shooters do likewise.
There are stupidities within the laws that need to be remedied but overall they are fine, their main failings are that they don't stop criminals and terrorists from getting arms.

Never mind all the funny videos just give a solid plain reference that we can read.

The Shooters Party NSW, with the support of Labor was able to get gun licence laws changed. Their legislation made it no longer a requirement that a person go through a licence check before beginning so called "training" in the use of a hand gun. A mentally ill women, Shamin Fernando (something else the shooters oppose, mental health checks) did exactly that. Ms Fernando joined the infamous SSAA operated St Mary's Gun Club, the same club that trained the child killer John Edwards. The mentally ill women proceed to use a hand gun from the club to shoot dead her father, Vincent Fernando.

News item; "A WOMAN who took a pistol from her gun club before shooting her father at her home was found not guilty of his murder on grounds of mental illness yesterday.
Members of the Sydney Pistol Club rang police at 3.12pm on August 22, 2010, to report the missing gun. Ms Fernando rang police just two minutes later confessing to having shot her father, Vincent Fernando.
She shot her father with a Ruger pistol after luring him to her Glebe home, the NSW Supreme Court heard.
Asked why she had invited him round on the pretext of having him load software on to her computer, she replied: "If I asked him to come round so I could shoot him I don't think he'd come."

Suck on that one Issy!

Paul,

Is that all that you can come up with?

Where are the references to changing the gun laws for the worst?

You haven't found a reference in ages; even after you said that I favoured arming everyone, when challenged to give proof you ran, as usual.
