Issy, its good to see the coppers admitting responsibility for their part in the terrible murders of the Edwards children. The coppers are only a part of those who contributed, the incompetent public servants at the NSW Firearms Registry along with the SSAA members of the St Mary's Pistol Club who trained and armed John Edwards so he could carry out his vile deed also need to apologise.

Wasn't it only a week ago when a 21 year old black chap killed a white Police officer by deliberately running him over with a car ?
So far, I haven't heard any outrage from the anti car outfits or the BLM movement.
If a white PO is murdered by a black man without using a gun, is that ok by the supporters of BLM ?
Family violence is quite often brought on by the economic experts of the lucky Country & the bogans indulging in drug abuse.
In cases where the male ends up being the violator, no-one appears to check who the initiial instigator was. Could have been the woman for all we know !

Paul,

"... SSAA members of the St Mary's Pistol Club who trained and armed John Edwards so he could carry out his vile deed also need to apologise."

I'm sure you don't really mean that they trained and armed him so that he could commit murder, to do so they would have to have known that he intended murder.

It's like those made up Coroner quotes, poor understanding of the subject under discussion.

How're you doing on the SSAA, NRA links; found any evidence yet?

Dear Is Mise,

Edward's was knocked back at other clubs but welcomed at St Mary's. of course they should apologise. They put the gun owning rights of Edwards over the right to life of his children. The fact that you can't see there is anything to apologies for is indicative of the mindset of anyone assessing another's suitability to hold a gun licence.

Steele,

If you were a club official and the Commissioner of Police told you that a particular person was a fit and proper person to join a pistol club would you tell the Commissioner to go jump?

The Government has made it mandatory for a person that holds a pistol liscence to join a pistol club, it is not up to club officials to go against the law.

Edwards was not an aspiring shooter seeking to join a club, to train and be assessed for a liscence but a privileged person holding a Commissioner's Permit.

"They put the gun owning rights of Edwards over the right to life of his children."

Rubbish, they had no idea that he would harm anyone and if you can't see this then you are as thick as Paul.

Two bricks either side of a plank.

"They put the gun owning rights of Edwards over the right to life of his children."
Paul1405,
A brainless quote by a brainless wonder. If my gut feeling serves me right, I could almost guarantee that the Public servant signing off on that gun deal is a staunch Labor supporter !
